2nd Firing mode in a custom tank using Spacebar [SOLVED]

[Jaydee]

I can't make my tank fire using the space bar. Problem solved, but another problem popped up.

See the code, again:

Code: [Select]

package ShootOnClick_Pack2
{
function armor::onTrigger(%db,%obj,%slot,%val)
{
if(%obj.getClassName()$="AIPlayer")
{
if(%slot==2)
{
if(%val)
{
if($Sim::Time<%obj.SOC_LastFireTime2)
{
return;
}
}
%obj.SOC_Shoot2(%slot,%val);
}
}
return Parent::onTrigger(%db,%obj,%slot,%val);
}
};
EDIT: Problem solved, I can now shoot with space bar. When I press space, I am recognized as an AI Player, and the SOC_Shoot2 function is in the Player so I renamed it to be used on AIPlayer. Ive made some changes, then it worked.

But...

There's one problem: It can't kill vehicles nor damage them. It can kill bricks, but not vehicles.

Here's the AIPlayer code I'm talking about:

Code: [Select]

function AIPlayer::SOC_Shoot2(%obj,%slot,%val)
{
if(!%val) {cancel(%obj.SOC_reshoot2);return;}

%data= %obj.getDatablock();

%mountObj= %obj.getMountNodeObject(%data.shootOnClick_RequiredSlot2);
//if(%mountObj!$=%Obj) {return;}

if(%data.shootOnClick2)
{
//Checks OK, shoot it all.
%cnt=%data.shootOnClick_ProjectileCount2;
for(%i=0;%i<%cnt;%i++)
{
%pos= %obj.getPosition();
%PVec= %data.ShootOnClick_Position2[%i];
%VVec= %data.ShootOnClick_Velocity2[%i];
%iPos= repeatedVectorAddwithScale(
%obj.getEyeVector() SPC getWord(%PVec,0) TAB
%obj.getLeftVector() SPC getWord(%PVec,1) TAB
%obj.getUpVector() SPC getWord(%PVec,2)
);
%iVel= repeatedVectorAddwithScale(
%obj.getEyeVector() SPC getWord(%VVec,0) TAB
%obj.getLeftVector() SPC getWord(%VVec,1) TAB
%obj.getUpVector() SPC getWord(%VVec,2)
);
%scale=%data.ShootOnClick_Scale2[%i];
if(%scale$="") {%scale="1 1 1";}
%p= new Projectile()
{
dataBlock= %data.ShootOnClick_Projectile2[%i];
initialPosition= vectorAdd(%pos,%iPos);
initialVelocity= %iVel;
sourceObject= %obj;
client= %obj;
sourceSlot= %slot;
scale= %scale;
};missionCleanup.add(%p);
}
serverPlay3d(%data.ShootOnClick_Sound2,%pos);

//If hold, schedule.
if(%data.ShootOnClick_Hold2)
{
//Delay according to datablocks.
%obj.SOC_reshoot2= %obj.schedule(%data.ShootOnClick_ReshootDelay2,SOC_Shoot2,%slot,%val);
}
%obj.SOC_LastFireTime2=$Sim::Time+%data.ShootOnClick_ShootDelay2/1000;
}
}
Take note: %obj is the AIPlayer

Problem Solved.

Try slot 1.

[Space Guy]

1 is Alternate Fire, which isn't normally bound to a key. You can use it with altTrigger(); (use like crouch() jet() etc.) but the majority of people won't have it.

2 is Crouch, I think. 3 is Jump. 4 is Jet.

[Jaydee]

Try slot 1.

There is no slot 1

[Space Guy]

There is, but Blockland does not use it by default.

Start a server. Spawn and pick up the "Guns Akimbo". Use them. Go into the console and type altTrigger();altTrigger();. The left gun fires - this is slot 1.

Oh, so by default, most people won't able to bind it in their BL's? Lolwutfail

I tried using echoes (With space bar successfully triggered). It seems to execute the code smoothly, but it doesnt shoot.

This may be a little obvious, but does %obj have the function SOC_Shoot2(%slot,%val);?

Badspot never added Alternate Fire in Controls like he did for normal Fire, Crouch, Jump and Jet. It's possible to add via mods but I would advise against using it unless it is added in an official update so that everyone can use it.

[Jaydee]

Can I do a delayed fire?

For example: I hold the left click for 2 seconds, then it shoots rapidly. It can shoot if I hold less than 2 seconds.

I think its possible

[Space Guy]

Yes, you can.

[Jaydee]

Ok, the 2nd firing mode thing using the space bar is now solved.

But there's another problem (see main post)

[Space Guy]

Code: [Select]

client= %obj;This should be the firer's client, not the bot AIPlayer.

[Jaydee]

Code: [Select]

client= %obj;This should be the firer's client, not the bot AIPlayer.

That's it. Even if I put %obj.client, it still doesnt work, because %obj is the AIPlayer. Can I get a workaround around this just for the code to recognize the player? If so, please give me a basic code. Thanks.

What if I used a code to detect what's mounted on the AIPlayer? Then recognize it as a client?

[Space Guy]

%obj.client is nothing, because the AIPlayer does not have a client. You need to find the player mounted to the object.

Look at the Tank code.

WOW! I did it! I used this:

Code: [Select]

%player = %obj.getMountedObject(0);
I found getMountedObject from the references topic. 0 means mount0, it gets the ID of the mounted object at mount0.

Then the projectile:

Code: [Select]

%p= new Projectile()
{
dataBlock= %data.ShootOnClick_Projectile2[%i];
initialPosition= vectorAdd(%pos,%iPos);
initialVelocity= %iVel;
sourceObject= %player;
client= %player.client;
sourceSlot= %slot;
scale= %scale;
};missionCleanup.add(%p);

It worked!! Hahaha! Thanks Space Guy! I owe you alot.
