Making a projectile stick to people

[Trader]

Well, you'd want to use the same particle emitter for the 'stuck' grenade as you have for the projectile.

Done, added it under the projectile

Code: [Select]

datablock ParticleData(hplasmagrenadeStuckParticle)
{
dragCoefficient = 5.0;
windCoefficient = 0.0;
gravityCoefficient = -0.6;
inheritedVelFactor = 0.0;
constantAcceleration = 0.0;
lifetimeMS = 400;
lifetimeVarianceMS = 0;
spinSpeed = 10.0;
spinRandomMin = -50.0;
spinRandomMax = 50.0;
useInvAlpha = false;
animateTexture = false;
//framesPerSec = 1;

textureName = "base/data/particles/cloud";
//animTexName = " ";

// Interpolation variables
colors[0] = "0 1 1 0.5";
colors[1] = "1 1 1 0.2";
colors[2] = "0 1 1 0.5";
sizes[0] = 0.65;
sizes[1] = 0.55;
sizes[2] = 0.65;
times[0] = 0.0;
times[1] = 0.1;
times[2] = 1.0;
};

datablock ParticleEmitterData(hplasmagrenadeStuckEmitter)
{
   ejectionPeriodMS = 3.5;
   periodVarianceMS = 0;

   ejectionVelocity = 0.5; //0.25;
   velocityVariance = 0; //0.10;

   ejectionOffset = 0.2;

   thetaMin         = 0.0;
   thetaMax         = 90.0; 

   particles = hplasmagrenadeStuckParticle;
};

No no no.  You don't need separate datablocks.  Just reference the ones you've already made.

[Masterlegodude]

Hmm, i ain't quite sure how to do that...

[Trader]

Well referencing your old datablocks would mean that once you mount a static shape of your grenade .dts, you also add the same particle emitter of the thrown grenade to the mounted grenade.

A code should help me... I should get an idea of what to do with it
