Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion A grenade perhaps?

Also a shield thing that instead of actual protection would cause all MOPixels to steer away from the user would be cool. I think I could code both pretty easily, although the shield thing will need some lag limiting stuff to it.

Maybe rather home in on actors that they are close to, homing in on actors they face would suck.

They wouldnt explode but do some scary ♥♥♥♥ to them with emitters. It would also allow them to attack multiple targets. Also that repeller thing sounds interesting. How would it work and whats that about the lag youre talking about?

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion I'm thinking that maybe it can emit some air particles that slow down the incoming particles.

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion I'd just lua all MOPixels with some negative gravity, or if that's too laggy, cause a constant acceleration away from the device. But it would be active even when dropped so that might suck a bit.

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion Plasma thingy: Code: function Create(self)
end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
local diff = math.sqrt(math.pow((actor.Pos.X-self.Pos.X),2) + math.pow((actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y),2))
if diff < 30 then
diff = 30
end
if diff < 300 then
local diffx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X
local diffy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y
local ang2 = math.atan2(self.Vel.Y , self.Vel.X)
local ang = math.atan2(diffy , diffx)
if math.abs(ang - ang2) < 0.7 then
self.Vel.Y = -(actor.Vel.Y - (50 / diff * math.sin(ang)))
self.Vel.X = -(actor.Vel.X - (100 / diff * math.cos(ang)))
end
end
end
end Shield thingy: Code: function Create(self)
end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Particles do
if (actor.ClassName == "MOPixel") and (actor.HitsMOs == 1) and ( not(actor.PresetName == "nameofjetpackparticlehere")) --not sure about ClassName, ask TLB if this doesn't work. Prevents lag by not gravitating undangerous junk.
local diff = math.sqrt(math.pow((actor.Pos.X-self.Pos.X),2) + math.pow((actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y),2))
if diff < 50 then -- the smaller the value the sharper the bullets turn when they are close
diff = 50
end
if diff < 200 then --maximum range
local gravitymultiplier = 25 -- use this to adjust gravity to a fitting value
local diffx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X
local diffy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y
local ang = math.atan2(diffy,diffx)
actor.Vel.Y = -(actor.Vel.Y - ((gravitymultiplier / math.pow(diff,2)) * math.sin(ang)))
actor.Vel.X = -(actor.Vel.X - ((gravitymultiplier / math.pow(diff,2)) * math.cos(ang)))
end
end
end
end There's propably a few typos again. Added some comments to the shield so you can tweak it to not to be too strong. Edit: whoops, doublepost. Fixed a typo in the shield also. Edit2: fixed the plasmathingy.

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion You just increased the amount of bombs in BW by 2! I'll go sprite and code these right away!

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion you might also want to include MOSParticles in the shield repulsion thing, what with shrapnel and fire and whatnot.

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion Yeah, it would work better if it would affect items and particles MOSParticles and Emitters and MOSR that are not pinned., but not actors. It would be like a dynamic bubbleshield.
Also I realized since Piipu came up with something cool as a repeller device, it sort of renders the reverse field that just sends them back where they came from instantly. Both of them are the same thing, except Piipu's is much more cooler. I hope if wont turn out too laggy, but if its will and its unbearable, I'll just turn it into the reverse field device I just mentioned.
Edit: What does "diff" stand for in your code, Piipu? Difference in range or something? Just curious.
EditEDIT: I'm taking the code to the Lua section, I posted the latest codes, but neither of them work. : (

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion Hey wait, that'd also increase the power of gunfire when firing from inside the thing... schweet!

Not as much as the accelerator device, but yes it would. I'd be interesting to see if this could protect you from a nuke blast... Hmm... Piipu's code just gave me an idea. Right now I wanted the accelerator to increase mass as well as velocity, but the problem is that loose terrain particles became even more powerful and soon I had cool vertical holes in my map. Not what I intended but now I know how to fix it. Thanks again Piipu!

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion Hey wait, the code piipu posted... would it gradually slow down and reverse the particles or just instantly send them packing? From my rudimentary knowledge of Lua it appears that the particles would instantly be sent away to me.... Hmmmm, going to have to learn more Lua before I can concretely say anything...
I'd personally prefer gradual slowing down than instant rebounding...
Hmmm.... I'm not actually sure...

Re: Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries! ))AAL Discussion It's that slowing down thing. diff is the distance between the things that are gravitated. I made the plasma thing compatible with my luaguns scene and tried it there and it worked. I must have done something to the code then.
