  Script: Force actor to never spin around [Probably solved]Hello peoplepersons,
Is it possible to script having an actor not spin around when hit by something heavy? I'd like to see my mechs take on missiles and the like and just stand there soaking it up instead of turning into a wheel and spin out of the screen.  I could increase the mass to insane levels, but I think everyone would have an idea what that does. Last edited by Gotcha! on Mon Sep 19, 2011 12:50 am, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: Script: Force actor to never spin around Code: function Update(self) self.RotAngle = 0; end Crude and ugly, and quite likely to produce some weird results. |

Re: Script: Force actor to never spin around Let me make that a bit nicer.
Code: function Create(self) self.maxSpin = 3; end function Update(self) if math.abs(self.AngularVel) > self.maxSpin then if self.AngularVel < 0 then self.negativeNum = -1; else self.negativeNum = 1; end self.AngularVel = self.maxSpin * self.negativeNum; end end Untested BTW. |

Re: Script: Force actor to never spin around [Probably solved] Here's another solution.
Code: function Update(self) self.AngularVel = self.AngularVel * 0.75; end 75% of your angularvel every script update. Which looks sturdy enough to get hit by an RPG and didn't budge. |
