Development Forum CAOS doesn't see my scripts    Geek2Nurse        5/3/2012 I'm getting errors that look like this: Runtime error in agent 2 4 13405 script 2 4 13405 9 unique id 1958888 Tried to set BHVR 48 when the agent doesn't have one of the appropriate scripts The plant agent (2 4 13405) has bhvr=33, not 48. The seed it produces (in its timer script) has bhvr=48, and has both the required "pick up" and "eat" scripts to match the bhvr setting of 48: *** pick up scripts scrp 2 4 13405 4 stim writ from 97 1 endm scrp 2 3 13405 4 endm *** eat script scrp 2 3 13405 12 snde "chwp" stim writ from 79 1 stim writ from 77 1 kill owns endm is there something else that would make CAOS not think the scripts that are there? UPDATE: Okay, I think it has something to do with where I have my targ owner command in the seed creation script...I have the targ command right after the new: simp that creates the seed, before setting its attr/bhvr/etc.--is that too soon? (I'm still really shaky on targs.) --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty. Engineer: the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.   Sanely Insane RisenAngel Manager     5/3/2012 The "targ ownr" command shouldn't be placed until after the seed/what-have-you is completely injected (that is, after it's had its attributes set and has been moved to the owner's position. For example, here's the seed creation bit from the Crinoids in Past Seas: *Seeding subr seed *If you're a population monitor, ignore this check and just create the maximum amount of seeds doif ov02 = 1 setv va01 rand 5 6 else *Normal plants count the number of seeds first *First, check the amount of surrounding seeds setv va00 0 esee 2 3 18870 addv va00 1 next *If a very low amount, create 5-6 seeds doif va00 < 2 setv va01 rand 5 6 *If a moderate amount, create 3-4 seeds elif va00 >= 2 and va00 < 4 setv va01 rand 3 4 *If a sizable amount, create 2-3 seeds elif va00 >= 4 and va00 < 6 setv va01 rand 2 3 *If a rather large amount, create 1-2 seeds elif va00 >= 6 and va00 < 8 setv va01 rand 1 2 *If too many seeds, screw it elif va00 >= 8 setv va01 0 setv ov00 6 stop endi endi *If va01 isn't 0, proceed with the seed creation bit doif va01 <> 0 setv va02 posl setv va03 post subv va03 84 inst reps va01 *Seeds! Yay! new: simp 2 3 18870 "ps_crino" 4 0 rand 500 6000 attr 194 bhvr 48 accg 0 aero 10 perm 30 elas 0 fric 30 rnge 250 tick rand 10 50 setv ov00 0 setv ov01 0 anim [0 1 2 3 255] emit 7 .5 puhl -1 43 116 doif tmvt va02 va03 = 1 mvto va02 va03 else mvsf va02 va03 endi velo rand -15 15 -5 repe targ ownr *Set flag to seeded if you are not a population monitor doif ov02 = 0 setv ov00 6 endi endi retn So yes, I'd say you're placing the "targ ownr" a bit too soon - the script is applying the attributes to the plant as opposed to the seeds, by the sounds of it. ~ The Realm ~ Risen Angel's Creatures Blog   Amaikokonut     5/3/2012 When you create an object with new: simp, the targ is automatically changed to the newly-created agent (the seed). If you targ ownr right after new: simp, it's going to targ the agent running the script (the plant), so yeah, anything you specify after that is going to apply to the plant as the targ and not the seed. [Naturing :: Nurturing]   Geek2Nurse     5/3/2012 Okay...I was thinking I was creating the seed and then making it the targ, when actually I was creating the seed and then moving the targ back to the plant after the seed was placed. Some day this will finally sink in! --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty. Engineer: the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
