Making projectiles do no damage to bots.

[Deadzone]

Could I modify a projectile to deal absolutely no damage to bots?

If so then how would I implement this?

All the bots I use end up taking damage from each other, then they kill each other.

Dont hold me to anything, because Im not 100% sure, but I dont think there is a way to differentiate between an actual client's player object and that of a bot.

I hope you are wrong.

The only time i've seen ANY projectile not harming bots is a glitch where it got killed too many times.

However, it might have something to do with OBJECTID.client or something.

Code: [Select]

package botimmunity
{
   function player::damage(%victimplayer, %attackerplayer, %position, %damage, %damageType)
   {
      if(%victimplayer.getClassName() $= "AIplayer" && %attackerplayer.getClassName() $= "Player")
         return;
      parent::damage(%victimplayer, %attackerplayer, %position, %damage, %damageType);
   }
};
activatepackage(botimmunity);
I think this would work.

Edit because the change in bold will let bots hurt eachother.
Edit because bold does not work in code boxes

-Snip-
I think this would work.

Doesn't seem to be working for me, maybe I'm placing it wrong?

I placed it randomly in the weapon that I'm referring to.

Are you getting a syntax error? I didn't test this at all, but it is short and not too complicated.
What does the console say when it executes the file? What does it say when you attack a bot?

There is, now go away.

It doesn't say anything.

function YOURPROJECTILE::damage(%this, %obj, %col, %fade, %pos, %normal)
{
if(%obj.getClassName() $= "AIplayer")
{
return;
}
return parent::damage(%this, %obj, %col, %fade, %pos, %normal);
}Be aware, however, that this apply to all bots, including tank turrets, cannons, and horses.

Again I must be placing it wrong, it still deals damage to bots.

"function YOURPROJECTILE::damage"

Amade, why are you having the function return the parent?  I thought that normally you would just end with the parent::damage.

Some edits to functions will break things if you simply call the parent, returning the parent is "safer".

You want the whole thing?

[Red_Guy]

mabye try a different function?

function FireMProjectile::onCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %fade, %pos, %normal)
  {
   if(%obj.getClassName() $= "AIplayer")
   {
      return 0;
   }
   return parent::onCollision(%this, %obj, %brick, %fade, %pos, %normal);
  }

Also - dont forget to trace() and echo()  when your debugging.
