Vehicle::oncollision

[Burger]

I want to make sort of a crash up derby mod, but I can't get this to work. I kinda winged it, so I need to know what wrong. I get no syntax errors.

Code: [Select]

package CarCrash
{
function vehicle::oncollision(%vehicle,%obj,%col)
{
if(%vehicle.getvelocity() >= 10)
{
%vehicle.addhealth("-10");
echo("The car crashed!");
parent::oncollision(%vehicle,%obj,%col);
}
}
};
activatePackage(carcrash);

It starts with %this

vehicle is not a class (or not one you are looking for).  You have to use something like wheeledVehicle or flyingWheeledVehicle .

Thanks to both of you, will try it now. I'll post back if I need any more help.

I'm guessing the new problem lies in the getvelocity() part. Am I doing that correctly, because I'm not seeing that stuff being echoed, which is a sign it is working.

You should know variable names are interchangeable by now.

Most commonly it's %this and nothing else.
I'm not sure if Burger would understand.

I just thought the names of args don't matter. whatever, thats over with now, I have the new problem now. :(

This is true; don't listen to much of what Kalphiter says, since he just thinks he knows what he's talking about.

WheeledVehicle and FlyingWheeledVehicle inherit from the Vehicle class but because Torque polymorphism and inheritance is a joke, it often won't register these functions depending on when you define them.

Put an echo at the top of the onCollision to make sure it gets called first, otherwise try switching to WheeledVehicle.

Not seeming to work still. Code as of now:

Code: [Select]

package CarCrash
{
function wheeledvehicle::oncollision(%vehicle,%obj,%col)
{
echo("The car crashed!");
%vehicle.addhealth(-1000);
parent::oncollision(%vehicle,%obj,%col);
}
};
activatePackage(carcrash);

parent::oncollision(%this,%obj,%col);
}
};
activatePackage(carcrash);

It especially works if you don't make up variables, %vehicle.

I never said it HAS to be %this, dumbass.

Well, I tried I fixed that, but I've used that already and it didn't work. There is obviously something wrong with the oncollision part because not even the echo is working.

Sorry, just making sure you didn't forget to change %vehicle.
