Modifying Default Elements

    In trying to make water more realistic, I tried to set high and low pressure transitions.

    Code:

    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,LowPressure,-2)
    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,LowPressureTransition,WTRV)
    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,HighPressure,150)
    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,HighPressureTransition,ICE)

    However, I get this:

    test.lua:1: bad argument #2 to 'property' (string expected, got nil)

    You forgot quotes around the 2nd argument. You should pass in a string, not a non-existent variable called LowPressure

    oh, that worked. for some reason the script doesn't evaporate water till someone presses the frame button. or freeze water, either.

    Oh, for the 3rd argument you also should be using elements.DEFAULT_PT_WTRV or tpt.el.ice.id (whatever format you prefer)

    You forgot quotes in the variables LowPressure, LowPressureTransition, HighPressure and HighPressureTransition. ICE and WTRV should be elements.DEFAULT_PT_ICE and elements.DEFAULT_PT_WTRV , respectively. Also you forgot place an space between "LowPressure", and -2.

    I already said both of those things. And whitespace is irrelevant, all you need is a comma

    I made the changes that @jacob2 suggested. It works fine to me.

    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,"LowPressure",-2)
    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,"LowPressureTransition",elem.DEFAULT_PT_WTRV)
    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,"HighPressure",150)
    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WATR,"HighPressureTransition",elem.DEFAULT_PT_ICE)
