Post A gib timer for AEmitters acting as rounds?
I have a gun here, whose round type is an AEmitter, edited from the revolver cannon. I am satisfied with it, except for the fact that its slugs go on until their lifetime runs out, but they just disappear. I'm looking for a way to set it so the slugs gib when the lifetime runs out, rather than disappear. The round types are AEmitters. I've tried fooling around with the Impulse cannon things, but I'm familiar with neither Lua or TDExplosives. I'll give you the rte this is in if you need it for testing.
(TL;DR:Need a script for an AEmitter round that makes it gib into its designated gib things [stated in the round] after a certain amount of time)
Thanks for the help.

Easy peasy;

Code:
function Create(self)
   self.lifeTimer = Timer();
   self.lifeTime = 400+math.random(-200,200)
end

function Update(self)
   if self.lifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.lifeTime) then self:GibThis();
   end
end


Replace the "400+math.random(-200,200)" with the desired lifetime of the AEmitter in milliseconds, say... 2000 or whatever. You'll probably want to set it slightly less than the actual .ini-specified LifeTime just to be on the safe side.

(There's probably a slightly more efficient way to set it by getting the lifetime from the ini itself somehow, but I'm not sure. self.LifeTime instead of self.lifeTime, maybe?)

I just had to change the math.random function to -1,1, because it wasn't working otherwise. Anyways, thanks so much. with it gibbing in the air, I can even kill my own teammates. c:

You didn't need to keep that part, you know. You could just use;

Code:
self.lifeTime = 2000;
