Modification Help / Rotating a Missile.

« on: January 04, 2012, 11:37:34 AM »

So I edited Aloshi's guided missile to spawn high up in the air with the intention of making a Predator Missile type thing. However at the moment the missile spawns parallel to the ground like so: >>-->. What I'm wanting to make it do is make it point directly at the ground upon spawning like so: V
l
V.

Code: [Select]

%rot = "0, 0, 90, 0";
From this section of code.

Code: [Select]

{
	//cooldown cheatery prevention
	if(%obj.lastGuidedRocketFireTime != 0 && getSimTime() - %obj.lastGuidedRocketFireTime < 5000) //5s
		return;
	
	%obj.lastGuidedRocketFireTime = getSimTime();
	
	%pos = %obj.getTransform();
	%forvec = %obj.getForwardVector();
	%pos = VectorAdd(%pos, vectorScale(%forvec, 2));
	
	%allrot = %obj.getTransform();
	%rot = "0, 0, 90, 0";
	%pos = vectorAdd(%pos, 0 SPC 0 SPC 250);

	%bot = new AIPlayer() 
	{
		datablock="MissileBot";
	};
	clearAllPlayerNodes(%bot); //Makes the bot invisible
	%bot.mountImage(missileimage, 2); //Mounts a missile so it looks like its a missile
	%obj.client.setControlObject(%bot); //Control the missile
	%bot.setTransform(%pos SPC %rot); //Reset the rotation
	
	%bot.owner = %obj.client; //Set owner to you
	%obj.client.bot = %bot; //Set your bot to the bot
	pushBotToPos(%bot); //Start the missile-pushing
}

(Yes I am terrible at scripting.)

I'm sorry to be optimistic here but building on the Wii could be quite fun. Making gestures to the Wii remote as the blockhead would to hit brick placer.

Wow, that is stuff for the price. Are prices really that much worse in England?
That case was low end. It's a cheap case. Looks =/= quality.
Only on to a SSD flash drive, not a USB stick..
USB is really slow compared to SATA, even SATA 1 or IDE.
That motherboard is an AM3 board, meant for AMD processors. You have an Intel processor that requires a separate chipset, architecture and socket. Totally different.
Listen, what's your budget in pounds? I'll get you something good.
Don't be too hard though.

I have a £650 budget but I'd only like to spend £600 of it so I have £50 for fans, coolers, a disk drive, a sound card and stuff. (What else would I need?)
