DOH! I just copied/pasted. Is that going to work if I remove the pernthsees though?

[Azimuth]

if you change projectiledata to whatever you projectile datablock is yes

[AGlass0fMilk]

Code: [Select]

package iceBow
{
function ProjectileData::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
   parent::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal);
   %col.lastDatablock = %col.getDatablock(); 
   %col.setDatablock(Icebowarmor);
   %col.schedule(3000,setDatablock,%col.lastDatablock);     
}
};
activatePackage(iceBow)
That will freeze them for 3 seconds. Then you could do some other cool stuff like make an ice model, and then mount it on the player, but I don't know if you would want to do that.

Why dont you do like the Tranq make them stun like the skis

[AGlass0fMilk]

Then it would just be another stun-gunbow.

Not only would it be

Then it would just be another stun-gunbow.

Itwouldn't be like being frozen.

You forgot the ";" on the activatepackage(blah);

[Space Guy]

%col.setTempColor("0.66 0.75 1 1",3000); will colour the player a light blue for the three seconds.

You should change ProjectileData to Icebowprojectile or every weapon will freeze players.

You should check if the player is a standard player type (uses m.dts), so the various types of turret and Horses cannot be frozen.

Ok, thanks for all of your help! I think I learned a bit more about scripting and now I got the bow to work. Now I want to know what the function would be to make players take damage over time like burning. Also, how could I mount a burning emitter without using an image to a player alongside with the burning

To sum it up:
I need help making a fire bow burn players and mount a smoke emitter to them without using images/states or whatever.

[AGlass0fMilk]

In order to mount an emitter on a player, you must use images, and states. That's what emotes do. But you could use the built in Burn function As for the burning, you could do something like:

Code: [Select]

package Burnbabyburn
{
   function FireBowProjectile::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
   {
      Parent::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal);
      if(%col.getType() & $Typemasks::PlayerObjectType)
      {
         %col.burn(10000);
         burndamage(%col);
      }
   }
};
activatePackage(Burnbabyburn);

function burndamage(%obj)
{
   %obj.damage(%obj, %obj, 5);
   schedule(1000,burndamage,%obj);
}
Or something like that, I don't feel like writing that right now. It prolly won't work completely well, there are some errors with it.

[heedicalking]

@Glass. What would be wrong with it?

[AGlass0fMilk]

I think the schedule would continue even after they die.

[heedicalking]

Ok Glass, it chars them but it doesn't burn them over time. Is there something I could do with scedules to simulate burning by making it do damage every 2 seconds?
