 Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky Yeah I just noticed it doesnt work too. Seeing in other missions where bombs do rain, they also had names so I dont think you can get them to disapear.
What you could do is just give the bomb a really high or really low offset making the name not visible. I havent tested that though so unsatisfactory things might happen.

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky Are you sure that you have enough width of the map? I would first placed a bomb on a map, and only then activate it. Code: function Create(self)
self.bombVar = 1
self.bombTime = Timer();
self.bombingTime = Timer();
end
function Update(self)
if self.bombVar == 1 then
if self.bombingTime:IsPastSimMS(500) then -- set to lower number for more bombs
self.bomb = CreateTDExplosive("Standard Bomb", "Coalition.rte");
MovableMan:AddItem(self.bomb);
self.bomb:IsActivated();
self.bomb.Pos = Vector(math.random(200),-20);
self.bombingTime:Reset();
end
end
if self.bombTime:IsPastSimMS(10000) then -- set to higher number for longer bombing time
self.bombVar = 0
self.ToDelete = true
end
end Now it works. But I do not know what function can give map width. The program needs some work.

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky First of all, Vectors work as
(X,Y)
and your giving it the scene's width as the Y value. Also as for our Inconvenience, SceneMan.SceneWidth or SceneHeight dont seem to wanna work, same thing with Scene.Width/Height.
Your better off with what Geti gave you.

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky Stop using self variables when there's no need to keep them stored over updates.

Your better off with what Geti gave you. Actually, Nonsequitorian's way worked. I'm using it instead of the 10000 now. I still don't know how to get rid of the names... Should I just make the preset name a bunch of spaces? EDIT: Actually, then the arrows would still show up...

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky Make them MOSRotatings or even TDExplosives that you activate when spawning them?

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky I've tried that already, it doesn't work.
I uploaded the weapon, if anyone can get the names to disappear that would be great.

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky Also, instead of it being a TDExplosive, you could make it a MOSRotating, and make it gib into all of your bomb stuff

Re: Trying to make bombs rain from the sky self:Activate();
will activate the TDExplosive and therefore make the name disappear.
