Post subject:  Sticky Projectile Script Template
A lot of people asked me in the past concerning my method of making Lua'd sticky projectiles, which I would then reply with a cut-down script of some old mod's script that would be difficult for them to use. After a while, I made a simple script template that would allow easy editing of the sticky feature, but forgot to release it when I made it. So here it is.

First off in the script, there is a section labeled "Variables you can edit," which contains variables that you can edit to change the sticky properties.

Next, there are areas where I marked "Custom Script Chunks," where you can stuff in whatever script pieces you want.

All in all, it's meant to be easily editable by anyone, whether or not they know Lua.

Beautiful.
If nobody uses this in the fire contest, I'll be downright baffled.

I'm thinking of throwing this and the multiple fire mode at each other for the contest.

This does not work when the gun is spawned through the build menu or by Lua.

The Lua is on the projectile of the weapon, so it spawning it in different ways shouldn't have any effects.

Are you getting any Lua errors? What dies your script look like?

It's when the gun is spawned in different ways, I.E: combining it with the dual weapon mode template.

The error is something like:
Code:
ERROR: No overload of 'SceneManager:CastMORay' matched the arguments (SceneManager, const Vector, Vector, nil, number, boolean, number)
candidates are:
SceneManager:CastMORay(const Vector&, const Vector&, number, number, boolean, number)


What I think is happening is that the gun is being given some bad ID and this is confusing the code where the bullet deals with the parent ID, which in turn messes up the MORay that requires it.

Nope, I got it in the meantime. Thanks anyway.

Try changing "self.ignoreparent" to false and see if anything changes.

No, no, don't worry, I fixed it.
