wonder why he doesn't use projectiles any more.

Its so that you can still hit bricks with raycasting turned off.

Badspot is a crafty motherforgeter. But, what does Raycasting do, exactly?

From the tutorial.cs file:

Code: [Select]

package TutorialParentingPackage
{
 ...other code cut...
   function HammerImage::onHitObject(%this,%obj,%slot,%col,%pos,%norm)
   {
      if($Server::MissionFile $= "Add-Ons/Map_Tutorial/tutorial.mis" && !$TutorialCompleted && %col.noBreak)
      {
         ServerPlay3d(HammerHitSound,%pos);
         return;
      }
      Parent::onHitObject(%this,%obj,%slot,%col,%pos,%norm);
   }
 ...other code cut
};
activatePackage(TutorialParentingPackage);
Basically, hammerImage::onHitObject works in exactly the same way as a projectile/onCollision except it can hit non-raycasting bricks.

The ability to be hit by projectiles.

The ability to be hit by projectiles.

Yeah it actually does a lot of things. Its used for third person camera positioning, player step-up height etc.

How do you actually give a weapon the ability to use the onHitObject function rather than a projectile? It might be useful for tools like the Duplicator and (normal/fill) spray cans.

I can see the showBricks option in the datablock, does this do it?
