There are just a few minor problems with it. The function oil_clog gets passed these variables: i,x,y,surround_space,nt, so you should use that x and y instead of partx and party. Also, "BMTL" should be tpt.el.bmtl.id, and the "COAL" argument is second, not fourth. I fixed these for you:



tpt.el.oil.color=0x333300
tpt.el.oil.description="Modified Oil"
math.randomseed(os.time())

function oil_clog(i,x,y,surround_space,nt)
local found_bmtl = false
if tpt.get_property("type",x+1,y)==tpt.el.bmtl.id then
found_bmtl = true
end
if tpt.get_property("type",x-1,y)==tpt.el.bmtl.id then
found_bmtl = true
end
if tpt.get_property("type",x,y+1)==tpt.el.bmtl.id then
found_bmtl = true
end
if tpt.get_property("type",x,y-1)==tpt.el.bmtl.id then
found_bmtl = true
end
if found_bmtl then
tpt.set_property("type","COAL",x,y)
tpt.set_property("life",110,x,y)
tpt.set_property("tmp",50,x,y)
end
end

tpt.element_func(oil_clog,tpt.el.oil.id,1)


The COAL burns instantly when created, i'll check how to fix it now.
Edit: When created, COAL needs to have a life of 110 and a tmp of 50 to work right, I updated the code and changed it to make it smaller so I wouldn't have to write that 4 times.

One thing that I do when I have problems with lua coding is putting this line: tpt.drawtext(100,100,"asdf") in places to see which lines of code are being run and to find which line has the problem. I also replace asdf with a variable if I want to see if it has the value it should.

Oops, I always forget to do that. When I wrote that massive lua script/mod, I didn't even know about local, so I had to go back and fix most of it.

found_bmtl = false

local found_bmtl = false

dont put garbage in globals
