It shakes strangely sometimes. I'd coded like that and then the same problem, at last I gave up and tried another way like "self.RotAngle = -(self.Vel.X / 32) * 0.5".
About the shield, I've written some codes to make it check if a MO is flying toward you, reflect the MO to correct direction instead of multiply its speed by -1.
for particle in MovableMan.Particles do local pardist = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.parent.Pos,particle.Pos,self.mapwrapx); local judgeX = (particle.Pos.X - self.parent.Pos.X) * (particle.Vel.X - self.parent.Vel.X); local judgeY = (particle.Pos.Y - self.parent.Pos.Y) * (particle.Vel.Y - self.parent.Vel.Y); local PX = particle.Pos.X - self.parent.Pos.X; local PY = particle.Pos.Y - self.parent.Pos.Y; local VX = particle.Vel.X - self.parent.Vel.X; local VY = particle.Vel.Y - self.parent.Vel.Y; local UV = -((PX*VX) + (PY*VY))/(PX^2 + PY^2); local NX = 2*PX*UV + VX; local NY = 2*PY*UV + VY; local paVel = math.sqrt(VX^2 + VY^2); ------------Another Method --local angP = math.atan((particle.Pos.Y - self.parent.Pos.Y)/(particle.Pos.X - self.parent.Pos.X)); --local angV = math.atan(spY/spX); --local paVel = math.sqrt(spY^2 + spX^2); --local angCA = angP - (angV - angP); --local flip = (-1 * spX) / math.abs(spX); ------------ if particle.HitsMOs == true and pardist.Magnitude < (58 + (paVel / 12)) and particle.PresetName ~= "Particle CutTool-X" then if judgeX < 0 or judgeY < 0 then if particle.ClassName == "MOPixel" then self.counterpar = CreateMOPixel(particle.PresetName); elseif particle.ClassName == "MOSParticle" then self.counterpar = CreateMOSParticle(particle.PresetName); elseif particle.ClassName == "MOSRotating" then self.counterpar = CreateMOSRotating(particle.PresetName); elseif particle.ClassName == "AEmitter" then self.counterpar = CreateAEmitter(particle.PresetName); end self.counterpar.Vel.X = NX + (30 * NX / math.sqrt(NX^2 + NY^2)); self.counterpar.Vel.Y = NY + (30 * NY / math.sqrt(NX^2 + NY^2)); ------------Another Method -- self.counterpar.Vel.X = ((math.cos(angCA) * paVel) + self.parent.Vel.X) * flip; -- self.counterpar.Vel.Y = ((math.sin(angCA) * paVel) + self.parent.Vel.Y) * flip; ------------ self.counterpar.Pos = particle.Pos; self.counterpar:SetWhichMOToNotHit(self.parent,-1); self.gloweffect = CreateMOPixel("X-CutTool Shield LittleGlow","X-Region.rte"); self.gloweffect.Pos = particle.Pos; MovableMan:AddMO(self.gloweffect); particle.ToDelete = true; MovableMan:AddParticle(self.counterpar); end end end
Feel free to take and adapt it for your great tank ^_^

Re: Tank project (3rd prototype)
Might want to add sounds to the flamer and incendiary grenades, and possibly map out the buttons a little better? I realize it will be difficult to find the right keys, but maybe 'r' 'f' 't' and 'g', just so its closer to 'wasd'.

I was just thinking the same.
Or you could do what Darlos did on DarkStorm and let the keys be easily customizable.
EDIT:
Sometimes while shooting with the MG the shield blocks the bullets. And the tank started shaking strangely and for a long while when I moved upwards.
EDIT:
I realised that the problem with the MG happens while moving forward and shooting, and it also happened to me (like once) that shooting the main cannon and moving forward resulted in the explosive exploding in front of me.

Also suggest to do this. Very useful and not hard to achieve (in my experience).

The tank wobbles, and you need to change the weapons so it's more user friendly.

Re: Tank project (3rd prototype)
Firing particles with negative mass at it makes the shield increase it's shield (I made a grenade which uses only negative mass particles, and it shield went to 254% for a short time).
And it doesn't have awesome gib sprites? D=

A bit of wobble and whenever the body touchs something the terrain gets disintergrated :l

I think this is definitely going to be one of the longest scripts in CC's history: 489 lines, if you see any errors in my code please tell me.
In my mod there's a Lua of 501 lines, and the AI script of Independent.rte has about 800 lines of code. I think it's not realistic that a shield reflect object by just multiply by -1, and most Lua-made shield in CC can't judge whether the target paritcle is flying toward you or not(though it's easy to code out). That's why I write the code at last reply in this post.

Re: Tank project (4th prototype)
This' my first, overpowered little mod, a combination of many other mods. I just dare not to release it because of worrying about my poor English, which can't support me to write the readme file clear enough.
Now one final thing I realised that makes generally the tank hard to control and aim, and it is its constant gliding/sliding. The tank doesn't actually stops, it is always moving, making aiming (specially on angled terrain) very complicated.
Maybe it's just me, but that is the biggest flaw it has since the beggining and I just noticed that.
