Lua Help (I NEED HELP)

[Cosmic]

Can someone help me make a lua script that changes the player's ability? With Custom1 being the airdrill, and custom2 being the default ability set by S_SKIN. Thanks!

Changing the player.charability value into another ability should do the trick.

I meant someone actually makes it and sends it to me. But I can try myself.

you're not allowed to ask people to make things for you.

Oh ok I didn't know

(I've never coded with SRB2 Lua so correct me if I'm wrong)
Try

if player = <playername.skin>
when <button = custom1> is pressed
change player.charability

I don't know if this would work but send responses if this works for you.

It doesn't work like that, it's more like:

if player.mo and player.mo.skin = "skinname"
and player.cmd.buttons & BT_CUSTOM1
    player.charability = CA_AIRDRILL
else
    player.charability = skins["skinname"].ability
end

Replace skinname with the character's name value of course.

Sorry, neither way has worked for me.

terios' way does work, you're just not putting it in the correct context. to learn how to put it in the correct hook or function you need to look up a lua tutorial. luckily enough, zipper has their own lua tutorials on their youtube channel, so take them on if you have the patience to tolerate BLUA.

I tried that but all I learned was the Drop Spin (aka The Fast Drop). But I can try again.

I finally did it!!!!
