AcidGun

[mentalhunter]

I am making this gun, and i want it so that the target will explode as soon as its fatness reaches 255.
How to do that? till now i have the timer etc set, but i just don't know how to make it explode as the target reaches 255 fatness. Till now i got this:

Code: Select all

var bool bLighting;
var float DelayTime;
Var pawn p;

Function PostBeginPlay()
{
Super.postbeginplay(); 
    SetTimer(1.0,True);
    
}

{
      simulated function ProcessTouch( Actor Other, Vector HitLocation )
      {
            local int hitdamage;
            local vector hitDir;
                  
            if (Other != instigator && StingerProjectile(Other) == none)
            {      
                  if ( Role == ROLE_Authority )
                  {                        
                        hitDir = Normal(Velocity);
                        if ( FRand() < 0.2 )
                              hitDir *= 5;
                        Other.TakeDamage(damage, instigator,HitLocation,                                                
                              (MomentumTransfer * hitDir), 'shot');                        
                              
                  }
                  Destroy();                  
            }
      }

      simulated function HitWall( vector HitNormal, actor Wall )
      {
            Super.HitWall(HitNormal, Wall);      
            if (FRand()> RandRot;
            if( Region.zone.bWaterZone )
                  Velocity=0.7*Velocity;
      }
}

Uhm, i couldn't find the code function when i posted this question, can an admin fix this?

[Pitbull]

Fixed your post for you. For inserting code use the button that has the # sign on it.  ;)

[mentalhunter]

Alright, thanks

I'd wrote smth like this:

Code: Select all

var bool bLighting;
var float DelayTime;
Var pawn p;

Function PostBeginPlay()
{
Super.postbeginplay(); 
    SetTimer(1.0,True);
    
}
    
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
auto state Flying
{
      simulated function ProcessTouch( Actor Other, Vector HitLocation )
      {
            local int hitdamage;
            local vector hitDir;

            if (Other != instigator && StingerProjectile(Other) == none)
            {
                  if ( Role == ROLE_Authority )
                  {
                        hitDir = Normal(Velocity);
                        if ( FRand() < 0.2 )
                              hitDir *= 5;
                        Other.TakeDamage(damage, instigator,HitLocation, (MomentumTransfer * hitDir), 'shot');
                                if(Pawn(Other) != none)
                                {
                                   SetOwner(Other);
                                   GoToState('Growing');
                                }
                  }
//                  Destroy();
            }
      }

      simulated function HitWall( vector HitNormal, actor Wall )
      {
            Super.HitWall(HitNormal, Wall);      
            if (FRand()> RandRot;
            if( Region.zone.bWaterZone )
                  Velocity=0.7*Velocity;
      }
}

state Growing
{
Begin:
 if(Pawn(Owner) != none)
 {
   Pawn(Owner).Fatness += 20;
   Pawn(Owner).Health -= 2;   //health is integer  - no floats allowed !
   if(Pawn(Owner).Fatness < 255) GoTo('Begin');
   Pawn(Owner).TakeDamage(1000, instigator, Location, vect(0,0,0) , 'shot');
   SetOwner(none);
   Destroy();
 }
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
simulated function Explode(vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal)
{
}

simulated function AnimEnd()
{
      Destroy();
}

//

didn't test it, so it may containt errors.

[mentalhunter]

K, thanks alot. I think i can fix those errors who may appear.

EDIT: If the proj hits the pawn, it gives me an error about the growing state:

Code: Select all

[Jâçkrâßßit]

don't let that loop runaway  ;D

a For loop might work best with this


EDIT

Code: Select all

state Growing
{
Begin:
 if(Pawn(Owner) != none)
 {
   Pawn(Owner).Fatness += 20;
   Pawn(Owner).Health -= 2;   //health is integer  - no floats allowed !
   if(Pawn(Owner).Fatness < 255) GoTo('Begin');
   Pawn(Owner).TakeDamage(1000, instigator, Location, vect(0,0,0) , 'shot');
   SetOwner(none);
   Destroy();
 }
}

If your shooting this gun at someone else, shouldn't it be Pawn(Other) and not Pawn(Owner)?

[mentalhunter]

Well, i just copyd the code, didnt looked in it he. Now i did, and it doesnt work. those expression errors. I usual don't get any errors when im coding, so i don't really know how to fix most of em.

[mentalhunter]

Come on, there must be someone who knows this

[Raven]

Forget to add one thing - sleep

Code: Select all

state Growing
{
Begin:
 if(Pawn(Owner) != none)
 {
   Pawn(Owner).Fatness += 20;
   Pawn(Owner).Health -= 2;   //health is integer  - no floats allowed !
   if(Pawn(Owner).Fatness < 255)
   {
      Sleep(0.01);
      GoTo('Begin');
   }
   Pawn(Owner).TakeDamage(1000, instigator, Location, vect(0,0,0) , 'shot');
   SetOwner(none);
   Destroy();
 }
}

should work fine. Why not Pawn(Other) ? Because in state Growing you don't have variable other which could store reference to pawn we just hit. Of course you can add such var, but why not use 'owner' to store reference to pawn ?

[mentalhunter]

Cool, thanks. Ive almost exactly got what i asked for, the only thing thats wrong is that it doesnt explode if the health reaches 0, in fact the health jsut keeps on counting down lol.

I added a Health thing the same way as the Fatness, i dont know how else to do it.
I added the effect:

Code: Select all

state Growing
{
Begin:
 if(Pawn(Owner) != none)
 {
   Pawn(Owner).Fatness += 20;
   Pawn(Owner).Health -= 2;   //health is integer  - no floats allowed !
   PLaySound(Sound 'AGrowing');
   if(Pawn(Owner).Fatness < 255)
   {
      Sleep(0.01);
      GoTo('Begin');
   }
   if(Pawn(Owner).Health< 0
   {
      Sleep(0.01);
      GoTo('Begin');
   }

   Pawn(Owner).TakeDamage(1000, instigator, Location, vect(0,0,0) , 'shot');
   SetOwner(none);
   spawn(class'AcidExplosion');   
   Destroy();
 }
}
