I'm currently working on a mod and one of the things I need is for the players health to slowly regenerate if their stamina is full.

I used the drowning script as a starting point since it works off of stamina and only damages health, so it seems like a good place to start.

However after I finished my scripting I tried it out in the game and it won't load (The load bar for the new game will go 100% then the screen will turn black and just sit there.), here is the scripting addition I did to the "BasicPlayer.Lua" I added it right after the "BasicPlayer:IsDrowning()" function:

quote:

function BasicPlayer:IsRegen()
local stats = self.cnt;

if (stats.stamina=100 and stats.health>0 and stats.health<100 then

local dmgScale = _frametime;
-- let's cap it to prevent lots of damage if frame was long (was loading in this frame)
if(dmgScale>0.03) then dmgScale = 0.03 end

return {
dir = g_Vectors.v001,
damage = -230*dmgScale,
target = self,
shooter = self,
landed = 1,
impact_force_mul_final=5,
impact_force_mul=5,
damage_type="healthonly",
drowning=0,
};
end
end

Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I figured it out though. I was just missing a ")" after "stats.health<100".

Whoops.

Figured I'd do a little necromancy and revive this thread, since I was working on it anyway for a similar scripting question on CryMod.

The problem with the original script isn't just an issue of syntax. Stamina is a percent in game, so stats.stamina will always return a number less than or equal to 1. So if you used if(stats.stamina == 100) as an argument the script would never run.

Takaro had posted a response about a similar script on CryMod, so I played around with his script a little for a few days, and finally came up with this. I hadn't heard of LUA before these last couple weeks, much less scripting for it, but I'm pretty sure this is about as clean a script as you could make, to do what you wanted it to do.

if(self == _localplayer) then
if(stats.health < self.Properties.max_health) then
if(stats.stamina == 1) then
if (not self.healthRegenStartTime) then
self.healthRegenStartTime = 0;
end
self.healthRegenStartTime = self.healthRegenStartTime + self.UpdateTime/1000;
if (self.healthRegenStartTime > 2) then
local healFactor = 20;
local healTotal = self.Properties.max_health/healFactor;
if(self.Properties.max_health - stats.health > healTotal) then
stats.health = stats.health + healTotal;

else
stats.health = self.Properties.max_health;
end
self.healthRegenStartTime = nil;
end
end
end
end

Once again, sorry about necromancy here, but figured if someone was using the search function, at least they could find a working script sample.

Forgot to add that this has to be added to the function BasicPlayer:Client_OnTimer() in basicPlayer.LUA
