Modification Help / Rotating Vehicles on Projectile Collision.

« on: August 19, 2008, 09:47:39 AM »

I'm back with another question. I basically want my projectile to rotate a vehicle to a certain angle, ignoring the current angle. I think I got my projectile to only react to vehicles, but I'm still stumped about rotating them. Help would be appreciated.

I figured it out myself. Thanks for the help!

Sorry for the shameless self-bump, but if someone would fix

function 2projectilegunImage::onFire(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
  %projectile = primaryProjectile;
  %projectile1 = secondaryProjectile;
  %p = new Projectile()
  {
         dataBlock = %projectile;
         initialVelocity = vectorScale(%obj.getMuzzleVector(%slot),%projectile.muzzleVelocity);
         initialPosition = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
         sourceObject = %obj;
         sourceSlot = %slot;
         client = %obj.client;
  };
  MissionCleanup.add(%p);
  %v = new Projectile()
  {
         dataBlock = %projectile1;
         initialVelocity = vectorScale(%obj.getMuzzleVector(%slot),%projectile1.muzzleVelocity);
         initialPosition = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
         sourceObject = %obj;
         sourceSlot = %slot;
         client = %obj.client;
  };
  MissionCleanup.add(%v);
}

and test if it works ingame. I don't mind testing it myself, It's just that it usually takes a long time before I get answered. Sorry for all the trouble.

I tried both, but looking for the two projectiles.
My weaponimage is as it's stated.

Ah, sorry, I should'w told you I tried it too. Sorry, my fault. Again.

Depending on the angle, the distance where the projectile runs function 1 varies, and sometimes doesn't run function 2 at all. I'm beginning to think that the script for two projectiles is the way to go.

I know I'm asking a lot, but please help me.

I got

function SimplierProjectile::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
   %distancefromplayer = VectorDist(%obj.getPosition(),%col.getPosition());
   if(%distancefromplayer < 1)
      {
         (function1)
      }
      else
      {
         (function2)
      }
}

to almost work by stating that the client is %obj.

It only works in a certain angle.

But the function 1 comes up way too far. Even 1 isn't short enough, and if I go under, it won't work. I'd like to perform function 1 at point blank or bit farther. 

And SpaceGuy, your script dosn't work, sorry. Thanks for the help!

Yes. It shoots neither.

Ah, something painfully obvious must be wrong here.

function 2projectilegunImage::onFire(%this, %obj, %slot)
{

%projectile = primaryProjectile;
%projectile1 = secondaryProjectile;
%p = new (primaryProjectileType)()
      {
         dataBlock = %projectile;
         initialPosition = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
         sourceObject = %obj;
         sourceSlot = %slot;
         client = %obj.client;
};
MissionCleanup.add(%p);
%v = new (secondaryProjectileType)()
      {
         dataBlock = %projectile1;
         initialPosition = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
         sourceObject = %obj;
         sourceSlot = %slot;
         client = %obj.client;
      };
         MissionCleanup.add(%v);
}

Keep in mind, that I'm not that good at scripting. If someone would point out what to add/remove, that would be golden. Thanks.

I quoted that wrong.  I have my functions, and my projectile is called SimplierProjectile. Sorry, my fault.
And is this the new projectile code?

      %p = new (%this.projectileType)()
      {
         dataBlock = %projectile;
         initialVelocity = %velocity;
         initialPosition = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
         sourceObject = %obj;
         sourceSlot = %slot;
         client = %obj.client;

From the Saw-Off Shotgun by Ephialtes

I see a lot of '%this.projectile' in there, which I assume means the default projectile. What should I replace it with?

Can you post the code, if that's not too much to ask?

Also

function SimplierProjectile::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
   %distancefromplayer = VectorDist(%obj.getPosition(),%col.getPosition());
   if(%distancefromplayer < 100)
      {
         (function1)
      }
      else
      {
         (function2)
      }
}

Doesn't seem to work for me.

Thanks for your help so far!

Look at a weapon like the shotgun for code on making a projectile.

This is where I run into trouble. The shotgun codes create the same projectile over again. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but could you give me an example? If my first projectile is called 'primaryprojectile' and the second 'secondaryprojectile', where in the code do I state this?

or

If it's any simplier, making the same projectile do two different actions depending on the distance from the player. I'm thinking something like

function SimplierProjectile::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
   if(%distancefromplayer < 100)
      {
         (function1)
      }
      else
      {
         (function2)
      }
}

But how do I state that %distancefromplayer is the actual distance? Again, this may sound very newbish, sorry.
Then again, I might be wrong. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there any way to make a weapon shoot two projectiles with different actions on collision at the same time? If there is, then please help me out here. I don't know that much about scripting.

Thanks.
