Post subject:  Homing Bullet Sprayer Template
This is a template for a homing projectile and gun, and can be used with any gun that doesn't have self-propelling projectiles.
Everything you need to know in order to use this template is in the README included in the download.

Image

From the README:
When the device is off (default setting) the first object that the last projectile hits will be "marked."
When homing is turned on, all shots fired will home in on the marked object untill it is destroyed.
Toggle on/off homing mode by double tapping the Pie Menu button.

Wonderful scripted, thanks!
Did It lags when back-flipping?

What do you mean by "back-flipping?"

Hey CaveCricket, is there any way to change the input key to switch between modes for the gun? I've had some problems with the pie-menu button for switching, and I wonder if it may be that I use a mouse/keyboard setup.
Anyway, regardless, it may be to the preference of others as well to change it to some other input method.

Well, what do you want it as? It's on the Pie Menu right now so it can be used with the duel weapons mode thing. If you want it on a specific keyboard key like letters/numbers, that would screw things up.

Ahh. Right. Well, ♥♥♥♥. Guesss I'll just have to figure out how to get it to work well for me. Maybe I'm just dumb.... Heh. Well, regardless, it's impressive, and highly appreciated.

I meant when the bullet does that looping for avoid the user, works really great.
I would prefer to use gold-dig key, because when I activate or desactivate it, sometimes I accidentally reload...

Oh. Heh, the "avoiding user" thing is completely accidental. It's not trying to avoid the user, it's just that it has a limit on how sharp it can turn.

For the Gold dig, it wasn't set on that so people can use this with the duel weapon mode template, but it's easily changable.

In "DevicePar.lua" change
Code:
         if self.taptimer:IsPastSimMS(self.taptime) then
            self.tapcounter = 0;
         elseif not(self.taptimer:IsPastSimMS(self.taptime)) then
            if self.tapcounter >= self.tapamount then

               if self.parentgun.Sharpness < 1000 then
                  self.parentgun.Sharpness = self.wepid + 1000;
                  self.soundfx = CreateAEmitter(self.soundonname);
                  self.soundfx.Pos = self.parent.Pos;
                  MovableMan:AddParticle(self.soundfx);
               else
                  self.parentgun.Sharpness = self.wepid;
                  self.soundfx = CreateAEmitter(self.soundoffname);
                  self.soundfx.Pos = self.parent.Pos;
                  MovableMan:AddParticle(self.soundfx);
               end
               self.tapcounter = 0;
            end
         end


to

Code:
         if self.lastgunvel == nil then
            self.lastgunvel = Vector(0,0);
         end
         if ToActor(self.parent).AIMode == Actor.AIMODE_GOLDDIG and Vector(self.parentgun.Vel.X,self.parentgun.Vel.Y) ~= Vector(self.lastgunvel.X,self.lastgunvel.Y) then
            ToActor(self.parent).AIMode = Actor.AIMODE_SENTRY;
            if self.parentgun.Sharpness < 1000 then
               self.parentgun.Sharpness = self.wepid + 1000;
               self.soundfx = CreateAEmitter(self.soundonname);
               self.soundfx.Pos = self.parent.Pos;
               MovableMan:AddParticle(self.soundfx);
            else
               self.parentgun.Sharpness = self.wepid;
               self.soundfx = CreateAEmitter(self.soundoffname);
               self.soundfx.Pos = self.parent.Pos;
               MovableMan:AddParticle(self.soundfx);
            end
         end
         if self.lastgunvel ~= nil then
            self.lastgunvel = Vector(self.parentgun.Vel.X,self.parentgun.Vel.Y);
         end

Great, I'm really grateful :wink:
I'm very sure if crobotech would release someday in future, they will include this script somewhere.
