Post subject:  Weapon makes actor invincible to certain particles
I need a script that can be attached to a weapon which makes the actor and weapon invincible to "Particle Heavy Digger". Thanks.

EDIT: Also, I would like something like the homing missile script accept it targets the firer after 500 ms.

EDIT2: Also the homing missile script make the missile gib when it gets within X range of it's target.

Try something like:

Code:
function Update(self)   
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
      if dist < [insert distance here to simulate it hitting the guy] then
          car = CreateMOSRotating("Actor Position"); <------this could simulate the position of the actor.  make it pinned obviously
          car.Pos = actor.Pos
          car.Vel = 0
          MovableMan:AddParticle(car);                                 
          self.ToDelete = true
       end
   end
end


Then attach a script to that MOSR or whatever you want to make it and make it something like this:

Code:
   function Update(self)
       for particle in MovableMan.Particles do
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
      if dist < [insert distance here] and (particle.PresetName ==  "Round Heavy Blast" or particle.PresetMan == "Round Very Heavy Blast") then
         particle.ToDelete = true   
     end
   end
end




Tell me if this works. What it does is creates a particle when the bullet gets a certain distance from an actor. Then, the attached particle has a script that deletes any heavy digger rounds when they get a certain distance away. Tell me if you get any errors or itt doesn't work.

Diggers live to short to be captued by lua, btw. Impossible, unless you did create intercept and added lua to the diggers.

Code:
   

function Create(self)
   local curdist = 30;
    for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
   local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
   local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
   local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
   if dist < curdist then
       curdist = dist;
       self.parent = actor
   self.Team = self.parent.Team   
   end
    end
end


function Update(self)
       for particle in MovableMan.Particles do
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
      if dist < [insert distance here] and (particle.PresetName ==  "Round Heavy Blast" or particle.PresetMan == "Round Very Heavy Blast") then
         self.parent.GetsHitByMOs = false   
     end
   end
end


Maybe this will work to simulate him not getting hit...idk

The particle invincibility script isn't working and I'm not quite sure how to use the first script you posted.

No... attach the first script to a bullet.

Attach the second one to the "Actor Position" particle.

Make the script of the actor position the code of my last post. May not work, but I'd try.

I'm confused. I'll just post the mod.

Oh and uh, CaveCricket, why do you need it be invincible to that particle only?

(The above might not work...)

Digger lazers are undetectable by lua.

Code:
function Update(self)
   for particle in MovableMan.Particles do
      if (particle.Pos - self.Pos).Magnitude < 40 and particle.PresetName == "presetnamehere" then particle.HitsMOs = false; end
   end
end
That would work best I believe. There's still the matter of them particles being too shortlived. They exist for 2 frames only, but this method causes them to be harmless on the second one.

This isn't going to fix the problem with Lifetime, but it's best to use MovableObject:SetWhichMOToNotHit for having particles just ignore one MO.
