When spawning a wrench event "spawn projectile" how do you specify direction?

[Khaos]

This might be a stupid question, but when I spawn a projectile through a wrench event, I can't figure out how to make it go in a specific direction.  Can anyone help me?

[Mr. Bill]

after spawn projectile there are three boxes. Box 1 controls x axis. box 2 controls y axis. and box 3 controls up and down direction. enter numbers to specify distance/speed of projectile next thing over is you picked projectile then after that is 3 more boxes. these control spread of projectile. youll get the hang of it

Thanx for your help man

The first three boxes are velocity, in x y z.
The next box is the projectile type.
The next three are velocity variance, explained later, in x y z.
The last is projectile scale. Damage, explosion size, and projectile size are increased according to the scale.

About velocities.
If you set the first three to 0 0 20
Then the next three to 10 10 0.
It has a chance of shooting in -2.243 5.241 20, 7.001 -6.221 20, etc.
So anywhere between
x: -10 ~ 10
y: -10 ~ 10
z: 20 ~ 20
Where first three 5 6 10
and the next three 2 2 2
have this range:
x: 3 ~ 7
y: 4 ~ 8
z: 8 ~ 12

That's what Mr. Bill meant by the spread.

When it spawns from a brick, the first parameter is left/right and the second is forward/back (or is it vice versa...)

Depending on how you place the brick, it will fire in a different direction.


I figured this out on accident when duplicating part of a computer brick and rotating it before placing it.

[Chrono]

Not exactly left/right, forward/back. That depends on which way you're looking at it.
That's why people who know graphing in 2d or 3d refer these velocities as x, y, and z.

[Chrono]

Oh, and the duplicator changes events so they make sense with rotation directioning.

[Snaily]

Yep, you're right, I forgot about the duplicator auto-fixing the direction.
