Modification Help / Re: fxLight to follow shot projectile

« on: May 09, 2018, 12:53:48 PM »

I'm having trouble moving fxLights lol. I don't really know how to describe it. Here's what I'm putting in console:

Code: [Select]

==>%light = new fxlight(){dataBlock = PlayerLight;enable = true;iconsize = 1; position = "0 0 15";}; %light.setTransform("0 0 20"); echo(%light);
23226
As you'd expect, it creates a light at 0 0 15 and then moves it to 0 0 20. However, putting this in after:

Code: [Select]

==>23226.setTransform("0 0 25");
Does nothing. The light still appears to be at 0 0 20. But,

Code: [Select]

==>echo(23226.getTransform());
0 0 25 1 0 0 0
After setting transform to 0 0 25, getTransform tells me it's at 0 0 25, but it doesn't actually appear to be at 0 0 25, it's still at 0 0 20.

It's weird because I've definitely moved lights around before using setTransform and I don't understand why this is happening.

its because lights don't send their position over network once they've been established, because they aren't supposed to move unless they are attached to an object (although they aren't technically moving its just the object that is emitting the light that is moving)
although you could probably force an update by using %light.inspectPostApply(); I however would recommend against using this because I am not sure how well it will work over network with clients, the best approach would be to attach it to an object that is supposed to move

make the projectile a bot with no model and set its damage level to 100 so that its put onto the corpse mask so players can't collide with it and then parent the body remove function to add an exception to that datablock you can attach a light to it and an image for an emitter and you can adjust its physics settings to make it behave more like you want

it is effectively slower than global variable tables, but this way i can use table methods and nest arrays, i'll probably write another version that doesn't use objects

??
i know its slower but I want to know how slower

i like the blue theme you have going but it does make it noticeably more difficult to read

also can you provide some benchmarks compared with global variables

most ancient carvings are just outlines and they aren't 3d

i've got a strange feeling that he admitted he did it because of the current social atmosphere in the US, and not because he's 100% guilty.

i've got a strange feeling you're an idiot
