Author Topic: Output Event - SpawnProjectileAtNamedBrick (Read 641 times)

In the past we have struggled at once to fire a projectile from a brick accurately at annother, maybe for show, maybe for some functionality. I find trying to aim a Radio Wave to hit a brick 128+ studs away very difficult. This is why I am suggesting the Directed Projectile. The format would be a little different:

Code: [Select]

(Input)>>>(Target - Self/NAMEDBRICK)>>>SpawnProjectileAtNamedBrick [Velocity] [ProjectileDatablock] [X-offset] [Y-offset] [Z-offset]

Modified to:

Code: [Select]

(Input)>>>(Target - Self/NAMEDBRICK)>>>SpawnProjectileAtNamedBrick [Velocity] [ProjectileDatablock] [X-offset] [Y-offset] [Z-offset] [Targeted Brick]

I would find this extremely useful for making radio towers that pulsate signals on relay. I'd rather plug in one event and be done than constantly editing one event line for 5 minutes.

cool, I'd dl this. But my question is-
Is the target (self/named brick) the brick that is being shot at, or the brick spawning the projectile? because the output event has no box to insert the brick being shot at.
I think that the target should be the object shooting the projectile, and the output event should have the brick being shot at.

It can have a target like in bot events, a typing box

I would also like this

/extreme support

and maybe one other even that sends the projectile at the targeted brick, that way you save time and all you'll have to do is name the targeted brick and set the velocity
