Finding what a vehicle hits
Treynolds416:
So I need a script to figure out what exactly a certain vehicle has hit.
the package part is pretty easy:
--- Code: ---package WtfAmHit
{
function DriftingJeepVehicle::OnImpact(%this,%obj,%col,%pos,%speed)
{
//What now
}
};
activatePackage(WtfAmHit);
--- End code ---
%pos is highly unreliable, the given position is way off from where the collision occurs. %speed is only a scalar value, %col is always 0, and I don't have a clue what %this is.
I could do some stuff with container searches, but that is messy and I wanted to know if there is a cut and dry method before I jump all the way in.
Treynolds416:
Well of loving course I figure something out right after I post a topic.
Turns out the fourth argument in ::OnImpact is actually the velocity vector, not the position. I guess most of the BLF has gotten it wrong, because all of the search results have the fourth argument as %pos.
It probably doesn't help me much, but progress is progress.
Lugnut:
%this is either the datablock of the drifting jeep or the instance of the drifting jeep
I believe %obj is literally the object that the vehicle hit.

%obj is the jeep
Would %this be the datablock of the thing it hit?
Port:
%col is what the object hit.
