Re: Melon Racer You'd have to have the actor that fired it stored anyways, and you can check whether an actor is alive or not.

You don't get a goal if you don't go through the water first. It's cheat prevention. And I was thinking for the teleportation, when the grenade exploded, it would release an ultrashort-lifetime particle, and your actor's Pos. Would always equal that Particle's.Pos. Just don't fire two TelePortation Grenades at once

Just don't fire two TelePortation Grenades at once Psst. You can use "if(SceneMan:FindAltitude(melon.Pos) > melonheight+somesmallnumber)" instead of timers to prevent double jumps better.

Re: Melon Racer I don't get that line of code.
Would'nt it prevent me from jumping while I'm on top
of a hill, but enable jumping while I'm in a valley since
it just measures altitude?
Anyway, I think the timer works pretty well for what it is supposed to do.

Re: Melon Racer It gives you the distance from that vector to the nearest ground directly below it.
With a timer, you can jump off a tall place, and jump in the air where the ground "should" be.

Re: Melon Racer Wow, that really is useful! I'll try tomorrow.
Would you by any chance know how to do
proximity/distance measuring and moving/creating areas?

Re: Melon Racer I think the rotation problem is because when an object spins its angle keeps getting higher, and the variable eventually reaches its limit and stops. Maybe if you set it so if the rotation = 360 then it will be set to 0 it will work?

Re: Melon Racer I want to make this sprite into a melon trap. Clone walks over a trip and a door opens that dumps a F**kload of melons on him.
Bwahaha.

Re: Melon Racer Just out of curiosity, why exactly is it that you change the brain's mass each lap? Oh, and I found a fix for the frozen rotation. The rotation seems to freeze at about 800, so I'd assume it's 810 as it's a multiple of 90. So, just add in these lines anywhere in the Lua: Code: if Melon1.RotAngle > 810 then Melon1.RotAngle = 0 end
if Melon1.RotAngle < -810 then Melon1.RotAngle = 0 end
if Melon2.RotAngle > 810 then Melon2.RotAngle = 0 end
if Melon2.RotAngle < -810 then Melon2.RotAngle = 0 end

Re: Melon Racer why not just set it to 0 at 360/-360 instead of 810? it seems more logical since 360 degrees is the first integer which also = 0 degrees Code: if Melon1.RotAngle >= 360 or Melon1.RotAngle <= -360 then Melon1.RotAngle = 0 end
if Melon2.RotAngle >= 360 or Melon2.RotAngle <= -360 then Melon2.RotAngle = 0 end

Re: Melon Racer That works too. I was just having it reset at the number that seemed to be a problem.
