Red_Guy:
im not real sure what effect your going for here with %waves always set to 1.

but try this and see if it makes more sense. note its UNTESTED

--- Code: ---function DoomNukeRocketProjectile::onExplode(%this,%obj)
{
  parent::onExplode(%this, %obj);
  schedule(400, 0, "DoomNukeRocketProjectile::LaunchWave", %this, %obj, 1);
}

function DoomNukeRocketProjectile::LaunchWave(%this,%obj, %waves)
{
  %projectile = NukeWaveProjectile;
  %position = %obj.getPosition();

   for (%numbar=0; %numbar<%waves; %numbar++)
   {
   if ($times > 8)
   {
   $times = 0;
   return;
   }

   %x = (getRandom(-7,7) - 0.5) * 3.141592653;
   %y = (getRandom(-7,7) - 0.5) * 3.141592653;
   %z = (getRandom(-7,7) - 0.5) * 3.141592653;
   %velocity = %x SPC %y SPC %z;

   %p = new projectile()
   {
   dataBlock = %projectile;
   initialVelocity = %velocity;
   initialPosition = %position;
   sourceObject = %obj;
   sourceSlot = %obj.client.player.lastFragslot;
   client = %obj.client;
   };
   $times++;
   %this.schedule(400, "LaunchWave", %p, %waves);

   MissionCleanup.add(%p);
   }
  }

--- End code ---

i think you messed up the code boxes, and not sure how to do projectiles, although i can look over basic things, and isn't the schedule function supposed to be:
schedule(delay, 0, function name, arguments);?

If that's the case, then the example I used for the schedule(); (bushi's homing vector) is wrong. :/

%waves is always set to one, because I only want to spawn one projectile at a time. The launchWave function is meant to be run a certain number of times, then stop running. By increasing $times by one each time it is run, this can be done. However, I need to reset it once it reaches 8 or whatever I end up setting it to.

EDIT: Tested your function, it doesnt work :/

schedule works 2 ways:

1) schedule(delay, 0, function, args)

2) object.schedule(delay, function, args)
- this calls function' on object

takato14 - put some echo() statements in your code to see whats going on.

Once you get past trivial scripts, the "compile and pray" method doesnt work anymore.
