hotspot generation not working

[Aidan Gauland]

Hello,

  I've created a node with a safe door.  It has eight buttons, one up and one
down for each digit in the lock.  Previously, there was a lot of code
duplication, and now I'm trying the mothod used in Pipmak's main menu, but I
have a problem:  I can't figure out how to say, when declaring a hotspot, to
use the value of i, instead of what ever i happens to be when the hotspot is
clicked.

  I'm sending a patch for the node in question (which can be applied to
112/node.lua in the repository for the game I mentioned eariler), because I
don't want to commit broken code.  If someone here who's good with Lua could
look at it for me and give some advice, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Aidan

You can do the following inside the loop:

  local myi = i

This statement creates a new local variable every time it is executed.
That way, every button gets its own myi that keeps the value that i had
at the time of the assignment.

There's an example of this in internal node -12, the table inspector,
for the crosshair buttons (search for comment "--need a copy").
