How would I make a bullet first have 0 mass then wait 2 seconds and then have 0.25 mass?

Or make the bullet 0 mass then slowly add mass.

In a .lua file:

will make your mass go up by 1 every frame.

would make your mass go to 0.25 from 0 after 2 seconds.

I haven't tried this but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks a lot Duh i'll test it out now!


EDIT

Worked.

I have a quick question about this too. If I wanted to have the bullet gib after it reached like, 100 mass, how would I do that?

As long as your bullet can gib, meaning it is a MOSRotating, AEmitter, Attachable, Actor, etc, use this:

You can change the 1 and 100 to whatever numbers you like. Also, if you want to be more sophisticated and not do this every frame but every time period...
Where the 500 is the time delay in simulated milliseconds.

I forgot the "then" after the if condition in the previous code examples, you need that.

Ok, so what I did is copy the Coalition Rocket Launcher, deleted the homing missile parts, and made sure it worked. Then I put the lua file in:


And now it errors, and I don't know why.

The ini variable to change is ScriptPath, not Path. Put ScriptPath = where the red is instead of Path = and it should work.

OK, changed that, but now it says "Cannot match property at line 369," which, assuming that it doesn't count empty lines, is that line.

It counts every line actually, unless you have block quotes (the /* */ things).
I assume you are using b23 since you have the homing rocket launcher, did you accidentally type it or tab it wrong? It should be on the same tab line as PresetName and the capitalization must be ScriptPath.

It's actually b22, just with all the data files copied over from b23 (long story). Does that make a difference? Does it just not count comment lines? Sorry that was phrased so inelegantly.

Anyway, this is what it is now:


Mod folder name is, well, Mod.rte, lua file is Mass.lua.

b23 is the only version that can do Lua, so yes it does matter. If you aren't using b23 you can't use any Lua.

The revolver cannon works, and that uses lua...
Can b23 be used on a non-moderator account on a mac? (It's actually not that long of a story).

I'm afraid I don't follow? As long as you have a registration key you can use b23 (though you might need to upgrade it through licensing.datarealms.com)

Moderator is to Mac as Administrator is to Windows?

If so, There's no "Run as Moderator" button? >_>

You need to attach the script to particle, not round.
