Some event questions.

[FrogFreak]

I have 2 questions about eventing.
1.What is the variable event and what does it do?
2.When you set a spawn projectile on a brick there is 3 boxes wich set the velocity of the projectile but what is the perpose of the other 3 boxes on the other side.
If this is in the wrong section I apologize.

1.Variables are such as - Onactivate>self>ifrandomdice>[20]-[1]
Onvariabletrue>player>addvariable>Wood-[1]
Onvariabletrue>client>displayVariable>Wood
Onvariabletrue>self>fakekillbrick
Thats one of my events for variable rpgs :D
2.What?

[FrogFreak]

For question number 2
On activate>self>spawn projectile>[][][](projectile)[][][]<(this is what i'm talking about)
Does that help?

I think the other three boxes have to do with the projectile size.

[Sandvich]

Those I dont know,i just like to relay them and fill them all with 1 :D

[FrogFreak]

No...they don't have anything to do with projectile size...there already is a slider made for explosion size.

The boxes on the left of the Projectile drop-down list i think is the direction and the ones on the right is the spread

[kakashi11]

the boxes on the projective event are X Y and Z, i don't know if that's the right order but X Y Z are left+right, up and down, and sideways( i think sideways, maybe corner)

I think the other three boxes have to do with the projectile size.

ERR wrong

The other three boxes justify random directions on the X Y and Z planes.

[FrogFreak]

Soo...If you set numbers for all 6 boxes the projectile will radomize the x,y,z velocities between those nubers put in the boxes? (does this make sense?)

[laremere]

It sets the spread, so if you have 30 for x in for direction, and 5 for x spread, the projectile will range from a x of 25, to a x of 35.

[rerere284]

I think if you set the second three to 100 100 100 then if you use onactivate it shoots the direction your facing.

[FrogFreak]

Okay thanks!:D

I'm pretty sure they all set force. The boxes on the right just set random force between 0 and the number you set.

The first 3 numbers are the velocity of the projectile in X, Y and Z directions that will create the single vector the projectile will travel along in 3D space. The next 3 numbers are the range the X, Y and Z velocities will fall within. If you enter 5 0 0 5 0 0 for the direction, it may travel at any velocity between 10 and 0 along it's x axis. The above example creates "spread" along 1 axis- or a variable maximum range. 500050 would make the bullets all travel the same distance forward but at different angles, creating a line shaped spread. 500055 will make a circle shaped spread where the bullets all travel the same distance forward but at different angles. 500555 will create a sphere shaped spread. If you could fire the bullets and plot where the stopped on a 3D matrix, you would eventually get a solid sphere.
