Lua Error: "No Error." (cant open zone.lua)

[xnd]

this error, that says "no error", happened when i cast the spell while within range of a target and it tried to activate the zone:

i simply took the fearscape spell and its zone which is a spell zone version of demon zone, and i switched it to sandworm lair stuff, and this is the zone.lua:


return {
name = "Sandworm Lair",
level_range = {1, 100},
level_scheme = "player",
max_level = 1,
actor_adjust_level = function(zone, level, e) return level.source_zone.base_level + e:getRankLevelAdjust() + level.source_level.level-1 + rng.range(-1,2) end,
width = 12, height = 12,
-- all_remembered = true,
all_lited = true,
no_autoexplore = true,
no_worldport = true,
is_sandworm_lair = true,
no_planechange = true,
ambient_music = "Straight Into Ambush.ogg",
generator = {

zoom = 3,
sqrt_percent = 45,
noise = "fbm_perlin",
floor = "SANDWALL",
wall = "SANDWALL",
up = "SANDWALL",
down = "SANDWALL",
},
},
}


which is located in
\tome-Chrono_Xorn\data\zones\sandworm_lair_spell



here is the talent:

You haven't told it to look in the addons files for the zone.

local zone = mod.class.Zone.new("Chrono_Xorn+sandworm_lair_spell")

[mikekchar]

Sorry to be a pain, but is it possible to post these kinds of questions to the development section? My interpretation of the way it is structured is that Dumb Questions is about Dumb Questions for game play. There are no Dumb Questions for development

[xnd]

but im not developing the game, just an addon, and my questions really are dumb since i dont know how to code, and when i posted elsewhere, like in addons, they got no responses.

thanks housepet, but it never stops trying to load the zone but no error in the log:

That’s with the flush log since the other cut off. Have to ctrlaltdel out of game.

What is End Room: nil ?
Is that the error despite no usual lua error stuff?

[xnd]

i've tried a bunch of times but cant get an error code. the bar for loading the zone just keeps going right then left and back again forever. i see some people in the bugs section have errors like this, but I have no addons right now except this chrono xorn and it looks like they at least get a lua error. without an error, where should I even look for what is doing this?

[HousePet]

All I can think of is that there was no empty space to place the actors.

[xnd]

yet in the sandworm lair, when the walls collapse, we can all be stuck inside them so i thought i should get away with it. well i will see if i can make a space to start.

hm, or maybe it could set a 1 turn walkthroughwalls on the target and self prior to transfer? ill go try something.

what is sqrt_percent = 45, ?

is there a setting for how much % of free space?

[HousePet]

It could be sqrt_percent

[xnd]

i can get in now using a normal floor that doesnt block.

setting that thing to 100 from 45 seemed to make a lot of non-wall space.
setting it down to 1 then .25 still has about half free space.

might just revise the whole concept.
need to be able to get the denizen actors to load too, though... its not cooperating....

[xnd]

No error messages in log but it wont load any enemies other than the one brought over.

if i copy from other code, such as:

--zone lua has:

actor_adjust_level = function(zone, level, e) return level.source_zone.base_level + e:getRankLevelAdjust() + level.source_level.level-1 + rng.range(-1,2) end,

--and:

actor = {
class = "mod.class.generator.actor.OnSpots",
nb_npc = {20, 30},
filters = { {max_ood=2}, },
nb_spots = 2, on_spot_chance = 100,
--guardian = "TROLL_SHAX",
--guardian_spot = {type="guardian", subtype="guardian"},
},

--and npcs lua has:


--load("/data/general/npcs/all.lua")
load("/data/general/npcs/sandworm.lua", rarity(1))

local Talents = require("engine.interface.ActorTalents")

newEntity{ define_as = "SANDWORM_QUEEN",
--adapted from game code
--allow_infinite_dungeon = true,
type = "vermin", subtype = "sandworm", unique = true,
name = "Sandworm Queen",
display = "w", color=colors.VIOLET,
resolvers.nice_tile{image="invis.png", add_mos = {{image="npc/vermin_sandworm_sandworm_queen.png", display_h=2, display_y=-1}}},
desc = [[Before you stands a queen of the sandworms. Massive and bloated, she slithers toward you, calling for her offspring!]],
killer_message = "and swallowed whole",
level_range = {15, nil}, exp_worth = 2,
rarity = 1,
--ETC rest of monster's code


I tried some other codes with loading specific enemy names and some different things but it ignores it, even tried putting in the talent itself a copy from the anomally that summons time elementals but again no error code, just ignored:

game:onTickEnd(function()
if self:attr("dead") then return end
local oldzone = game.zone
local oldlevel = game.level
-- Remove them before making the new level, this way party members are not removed from the old
if oldlevel:hasEntity(self) then oldlevel:removeEntity(self) end
if oldlevel:hasEntity(target) then oldlevel:removeEntity(target) end
oldlevel.no_remove_entities = true
local zone = mod.class.Zone.new("Chrono_Xorn+sandworm_lair_spell")
--local zone = mod.class.Zone.new("sandworm_lair_spell")
local level = zone:getLevel(game, 1, 0)
oldlevel.no_remove_entities = nil
--level.demonfire_dam = dam
level.plane_owner = self

level:addEntity(self)
level:addEntity(target)

local tg = self:getTalentTarget(t)
local tgts = getAnomalyTargets(self, t, self.x, self.y, "ACTOR", self:getTalentRadius(t))

-- Randomly take targets
for i = 1, rng.avg(3, 6, 3) do
if #tgts <= 0 then break end
local a, id = rng.table(tgts)
table.remove(tgts, id)
-- Find space
local i, j = util.findFreeGrid(a.x, a.y, 5, true, {[Map.ACTOR]=true})
if not i then
return
end
local npcs = mod.class.NPC:loadList{"/data/general/npcs/telugoroth.lua"}
local m = game.zone:makeEntity(game.level, "actor", {base_list=npcs}, nil, true)
if m then
m.exp_worth = 0
game.zone:addEntity(game.level, m, "actor", i, j)
game.level.map:particleEmitter(i, j, 1, "temporal_teleport")
game:playSoundNear({x=i,y=j}, "talents/thunderstorm")
end
end

and some others things tried to get enemies to load, but it just ignores it.

am i supposed to tell it where to find something somewhere? but i'm not getting a nil value error.
i've tried changing rarity from 0 to 100 and changing some other values to no effect and tried with some different monsters.

[Herode_]

Agreed with mikekchar above : these purely technical questions are relative to development. It's not about gameplay or anything else that could concern common players. So obviously, these are not "dumb questions".

And as a common player, I confess that I find this forum becoming difficult to parse as it is cluttered by numerous modding/technicals threads.
It will be much more user friendly to move all this stuff to the appropriate forum.

but im not developing the game, just an addon, and my questions really are dumb since i dont know how to code, and when i posted elsewhere, like in addons, they got no responses.

BTW, HousePet seems pretty active in the Development sub forums. There's no reason why he would not answer as well in this dedicated place

[HousePet]

I think the addons forum would make more sense.

But you can't argue that some of these are dumb questions! (sorry)

[xnd]

you could give more help then. what do you expect when i dont know coding?

no one answered in the addons thread.

maybe instead of insisting on putting people down here, there should be an appropriate section made to enable people to make addons, which is actually part of playing the game.

[Micbran]

Most people teach themselves, since examples are available.

[twas Brillig]

Yeah, honestly the best thing to do from a forum hygiene perspective would be to just make a single thread in the add-ons section for all your questions. It's good to have threads for various common problems since people can (in theory) search them up and find common answers. These are all niche questions about modding, so having your own thread in the modding forum would be helpful to organize them.

Also, just from a readability standpoint, can you try posting code dumps via something like Pastebin? or at least sticking them in

Code: Select all

 tags?
