GetSourceState and Lua??

[Blue Solitare]

Hello,

 

function class:CreateObject(model)
local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

...

  function object:Init()
     class.sound=LoadSound('abstract::sound1.wav')
  end

...

  function object:Update()
     value = object.model:GetSourceState(class.sound)
  end
end

 

When I try to run the script I get "Index for object is not a valid field or method". According to documentation, GetSourceState will return the enumeration SourceState::Stopped/Playing/Paused.

 

I've tried "tonumber", with no success. How do you deal with enumerations in Lua?

 

Thanks,

 

Blue

The problem is not the enumeration but the fact you are trying to determine the source state from something other than a source. You need to load a sound, create a source, play the source, then check the state of the source.

Sorry for the delayed response to yours:

 

... create a source ...

 

That was this missing bit.

 

Thanks for your help.
