Input Event - onTorchHit

[eddierocks2000]

Anyways, I'm making an RP of some sorts, and it uses the new Torch Item a good deal. I thought an input event for using the torch on a brick would make for a interesting new experience.
Here's the problem:
I can't script worth stuff.

I know this goes in there somewhere:

function TorchjWeaponImage::onPreFire(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   %obj.playthread(2, armattack);
}

function TorchjWeaponImage::onStopFire(%this, %obj, %slot)
{   
   %obj.playthread(2, root);
}

function torchProjectile::onCollision(%this, %obj, %col, %fade, %pos, %normal, %client)
{
And i'm pretty sure I got the code for the event right too, I just don't know the format or where to insert these codes.
if(%col.getClassName() $= "fxDTSBrick")
   {
      $InputTarget_["Self"] = %col;
      $InputTarget_["Player"] = %obj.client.player;
      $InputTarget_["Client"] = %obj.client;
      if($Server::LAN)
      {
         $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = getMiniGameFromObject(%obj.client);
      }
      else
      {
         if(getMiniGameFromObject(%col) == getMiniGameFromObject(%obj.client))
         {
            $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = getMiniGameFromObject(%col);
         }
         else
         {
            $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = 0;
         }
      }
      %col.processInputEvent(onTorchHit,%obj.client);
   }
}
If anyone can insert this into the Torch script so that it works, please do so.

Thanks, here's the Torch script if you don't already have it.

That is pretty helpful.
I'll mess around with that later.

So i've been plugging in stuff to this code over and over and can't get it to work.
I honestly don't know what i'm doing but here's what I have:

registerInputEvent(fxDTSBrick,onTorchHit,"Self fxDTSBrick" TAB "Player Player" TAB "Client GameConnection" TAB "Minigame Minigame");

function TorchjWeaponImage::onHitObject(%this,%obj,%slot,%col,%pos,%normal,%shotVec,%crit)
{
   parent::onHitObject(%this,%obj,%slot,%col,%pos,%normal,%shotVec,%crit);
   if(%col.getClassName() $= "fxDTSBrick")
   {
      $InputTarget_["Self"] = %col;
      $InputTarget_["Player"] = %obj.client.player;
      $InputTarget_["Client"] = %obj.client;
      if($Server::LAN)
      {
         $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = getMiniGameFromObject(%obj.client);
      }
      else
      {
         if(getMiniGameFromObject(%col) == getMiniGameFromObject(%obj.client))
         {
            $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = getMiniGameFromObject(%col);
         }
         else
         {
            $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = 0;
         }
      }
      %col.processInputEvent(onTorchHit,%obj.client);
   }
}

I've tried using the projectile instead of the image, and onCollision, instead of onHitObject.
I thought it worked, and it registers the event in the input list, but it never has any effect.

So when i'm testing it, ill put:
onTorchHit --> Player --> Kill
But when I hit it nothing happens.

Help please.

I also tried this approach:

registerInputEvent("fxDTSBrick","onTorchHit","Self fxDTSBrick" TAB "Player Player" TAB "Client GameConnection" TAB "MiniGame MiniGame" TAB "Owner(Player) Player" TAB "Owner(Client) GameConnection",1);
function fxDTSBrick::onTorchHit(%obj,%client)
{
   $InputTarget_["Self"] = %obj;
   $InputTarget_["Player"] = %client.Player;
   $InputTarget_["Client"] = %client;
   
   if(%client.minigame == %obj.getGroup().client.minigame)
   {
      $InputTarget_["MiniGame"] = %obj.getGroup().client.minigame;
   }
   
   $InputTarget_["Owner(Player)"] = %obj.getGroup().client.Player;
   $InputTarget_["Owner(Client)"] = %obj.getGroup().client;
   %obj.processInputEvent("onTorchHit",%client);
}

Same problem.

Try modding some other stuff like the onpickaxehit events.

Try modding some other stuff like the onpickaxehit events.

I know how to do that, and have before.
But then the torch loses the emitter, and burn function.

[eddierocks2000]

Still here.
Still need help.
Please.

Problem: Although the event registers, it has no effect.

[eddierocks2000]

There has to be someone who cares enough to help me out...

[eddierocks2000]

Honestly now, I doubt this is very complicated at all.
