Returning false from the onDamage hook works fine for me. You are using the actual hook, and not just adding a connector, right?

Nope, it was a connector in this case. I guess that explains it. I had hoped not to need to define it initially. The script works as intended, it just isn't capable of canceling an attack this way.
I'll try it in the hook; I assume it will work then.

Found out, that there is a monster-condition "stunned".
I've tried to create a weappon, that stunns monsters. So far everything works, but all what happens is, the monster gets a bunch of stars that swirls around it's head for some secounds. No other effect AFAIK. Have I missed something or is this an unfinished implementation? Can't remember to see this effect in the main-campaign.

Stun makes the monster wait longer between performing actions. Mostly useless imo, since that means the AI is less controllable/predictable.

I expected something like that. Not my thing then, too...
Next question: Is there a possibility to disable monster-components from monster-groups? I would like to have some monsters-groups standing frozen-like when the party is entering the areal. Nomally I would do this by disabeling the brain and animation component. But groups do not offer the checkboxes to do this in the editor. Any ideas, how to adress the monsters in a group? Then I could do this in a script... And no: defining the monstergroup as "guard" is not the same I have in mind...

What i must do for vizualization hooks from controller component in my objekt? For player managed connectors. E. G. My custom onActivate.

I know the id of a item, how do i find the items name?
Do i have to iterate through the whole map?

No; if you know the id, then just do "findEntity(id).name" (if you need the object coordinates, do "findEntity.x" etc).

Code: Select all
function summonStones()
if golem.bossfight:isEnabled() then
spawn("summon_stone", 1, 11, 5, 1, 0)
spawn("summon_stone", 1, 17, 5, 3, 0)
delayedCall(golem_bossfight_script, 20, summonStones())
end
end
When i trigger this script, the game lags out and i have to close it with control panel. What's wrong?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_l ... _recursion
When you call a function, the code inside it runs. Your function is immediately calling itself every time it is called because of this line:
Code: Select all
delayedCall(golem_bossfight_script, 20, summonStones())
So it will continue calling itself indefinitely until the Lua virtual machine runs out of stack space.
Since your function doesn't even return anything, I assume you meant to do this:
Code: Select all
delayedCall("golem_bossfight_script", 20, "summonStones")
delayedCall is just like a connector, the action needs to be a string argument that will be the message sent to the object's component named "controller".
