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.

Code:
function Update(self)
    self.RotAngle = 0;
end

Crude and ugly, and quite likely to produce some weird results.

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.

Thanks, both. I'll test this out. :)

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.
