delay in startup script "urgent"
-
I'm not sure exactly what you intended it to do, but here is something that sets the ctype of clne to clne every 3 seconds:
local lastTimer = 0
local function moo()
if os.time() > lastTimer then
tpt.set_property("ctype", "clne", "clne")
lastTimer = os.time()+3
end
end
tpt.register_step(moo) -
i tested and it works as i intended, but there is one problem i find:
local lastTimer = 0
local function moo()
if os.time() > lastTimer then
tpt.set_property("ctype", "clne", "clne")
lastTimer = os.time()+0.001
end
end
tpt.register_step(moo)i want the change to happen more rapidly, but even on this setting it goes quite slow, is this the correct way to speed it up?

os.time() is only accurate to the second, if you want it to be any faster there's a nice function socket.gettime(), which I think measures time to the millisecond
local lastTimer = 0
local function moo()
if socket.gettime() > lastTimer then
tpt.set_property("ctype", "clne", "clne")
lastTimer = socket.gettime()+.5
end
end

what is weird is that if you set the ctype of clone to clone with the tool you see that the ctype is clone when you hover over it, with this script it does not show anything in the ctype when you hover over it, and it still clones particles it touches, which he should not be able to accept

It shows up as CLNE(CLNE) for me, except for the new CLNE created, which is just CLNE().
CLNE(CLNE) is considered an invalid ctype by the game, and treated as if it was empty, so it will still pick up and clone any other particles that touch it. There's no way to create clone that clones itself without the console anyway.
