Hello,

 

I can't find any example of an object receiving a message of "use" ( sent by the player, i suppose ), and how it works. I found how to send a message when a key is pressed but not how to receive it, can someone, please, help me with that ? I'm very confused with that, thank you

look at the template.lua file located in the scripts folder as it gives the general layout for the 'object:ReceiveMessage(message,extra)' function as well as all the standard LE lua object functions, but essentially its just:

function object:ReceiveMessage(message,extra)
  if message="use" then
     --'do something here'
  else
     self.super:ReceiveMessage(message,extra)
  end
end

Thank you very much Macklebee, it's working at last

There is a receive message being used in the switch object seen in the tunnels demo map. That's how I learnt to use it.

Ok, thank you very much
