Calling "Projectile Bounce"

[Deathwishez]

You know what happens with the event "onProjectileHit -> Projectile -> Bounce [----I----] (1.000)"?

How would I call that event via script?

[Ad Bot]

[Demian]

Non-scripter food for though. Fake a projectile hit?

[Deathwishez]

I plan on doing so, I just don't know how to call the event.

I'm able to do basic triggers and such, but I've never had to decode an event before.

I need to use the default event. Copying it simply won't work for what I intend to use it for.

[Greek2me]

Ah, this is for your speed idea?

Try running a trace when you shoot a gun at a brick with the event.

[Iban]

the bounce event merely recreates the projectile.

[Greek2me]

Yes, but it recreates it faster than it was going before.

[Iban]

okay.

then it recreates the projectile

and then .setVelocity()

[Chrono]

okay.

then it recreates the projectile

and then .setVelocity()

Nope.

[Iban]

Nope.

are you really being that nit-picky

I haven't played in ages, I can't remember exactly, but I think it may delete the projectile, then recreate it, then apply appropriate speed in the appropriate direction. AFAIK there's no way to redirect a projectile.

[Chrono]

delete the projectile, then recreate it, then apply appropriate speed in the appropriate direction. AFAIK there's no way to redirect a projectile.

Correct.

[Greek2me]

And you can't set the velocity above 200, correct?

[Deathwishez]

And you can't set the velocity above 200, correct?

Nope, but the default bounce command can make it go up to the real engine limit (Around 10,000 or something).

I figured I could use a "double bounce" command to make projectiles go at 800 m/s.

If I create a function of my own, it will be limited by the engine, thus I need to use the one that's already there.

You guys see where I'm going with this?

I've done several tests at 800 m/s, and I haven't seen any problems. It's at 3200 or so that it begins to pass through other objects.

[Deathwishez]

Odd. Ever since I explained why I'm doing this, I stopped getting help. :c

[soba]

So you plan on making a weapon that shoots a bullet a LOT faster than the default limit, without having to use raycasting? Because if that's the case, that would be VERY useful in a ton of weapons

[Deathwishez]

Yes.

I'm currently doing several tests with projectiles at high speeds to see where I should set the new limit.

800 m/s seems to be working fairly well. I wouldn't want to go any higher than that.
