  Added guns to dropship: Guns then shoot down dropshipHello people,
Probably a really easy question for you brainiacs. I had this old script lying around. I think Abdul originally created it, for which I have my thanks.  I used it to put two turrets/guns onto a dropship. Code: function Create(self) self.Turret = {}; self.Turret.Team = 0; self.Turret[1] = CreateACrab("Raptor Gun Mini"); MovableMan:AddParticle(self.Turret[1]); self.Turret[1].Offset = Vector(25,25); self.Turret[2] = CreateACrab("Raptor Gun Mini"); MovableMan:AddParticle(self.Turret[2]); self.Turret[2].Offset = Vector(-25,25); end function Destroy(self) for i = 1, #self.Turret do if MovableMan:IsParticle(self.Turret[i]) == true then if self.Health < 1 then self.Turret[i]:GibThis() else self.Turret[i].ToDelete = true end end end end function Update(self) if self.AngularVel > 0.45 and self.RotAngle > 0.45 then self.AngularVel = 0.45; elseif self.AngularVel < -0.45 and self.RotAngle < -0.45 then self.AngularVel = -0.1; end for i = 1, #self.Turret do if MovableMan:IsParticle(self.Turret[i]) == true then self.Turret[i].Vel.X = 0; self.Turret[i].Vel.Y = 0; self.Turret[i].RotAngle = self.RotAngle; self.Turret[i].Pos = self.Pos + self:RotateOffset(self.Turret[i].Offset) end end end All works fine, except the turrets shoot down the dropship they're attached to. (Fun to watch.) Even if I change "self.Turret.Team = 0" to "self.Turret.Team = 1", which would be the red team. Does anyone know how to modify this script so that the turrets only fire at enemies? Or perhaps someone has a much better script for this kind of action? Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Re: Added guns to dropship: Guns then shoot down dropship Or if that doesn't work, use SetWhichMONotToHit.

Re: Added guns to dropship: Guns then shoot down dropship @Coops9753: Done. No difference though.
 @Roast Veg: No idea what to do with that, sorry. @Mehman: That gives an error and removes the guns. |

Re: Added guns to dropship: Guns then shoot down dropship I removed the line
Code: self.Turret.Team = 0; and replaced it with Code: self.Turret.Team = self.Team; |

Re: Added guns to dropship: Guns then shoot down dropship Code: SetWhichMOToNotHit Sets this MO to not hit a specific other MO and all its children even though MO hitting is enabled on this MovableObject Arguments: A pointer to the MO to not be hitting. 0 means don't ignore anyhting. Ownership is not transferred! For how long, in S, to ignore the above. Negative number means forever. In general: self.bullet:SetWhichMOToNotHit(self.shooter,-1); In that case, you need to shoot bullets by lua, or check when fire, find the bullet then set it not to hit the parent. that sucks. Maybe you can try like: self.ship:SetWhichMOToNotHit(self.gun,-1); I'm not sure if it works. |
