Help with actionprojectile
 

(BEFORE YOU READ - I searched the forums already and none explained how to make it work right or none had the problem ive been having) I need help with actionprojectile. I put it in the control-npc and it never works when the projectile hits a player or npc. I did it clientside too and put it in a system npc, but it NEVER works. Here is the part of my script (NOTE: The shoot and setshootparams work perfectly because I tested it with actionprojectile2 and it works)

NPC Code:

---

if (actionprojectile) {//THIS ONE DOESN'T WORK!

  if (strequals(#p(2),altairarrowhit)){

    this.ax = strtofloat(#p(0));

    this.ay = strtofloat(#p(1));

    for (this.p = 0;this.p < playerscount;this.p++) {

      hitplayer this.p, 3, this.ax, this.ay;

    }

  }

}

---

NPC Code:

---

if (actionprojectile2) {//THIS ONE DOES! Just hits everyone in the level

  if (strequals(#p(2),altairarrowhit)){

    this.ax = strtofloat(#p(0));

    this.ay = strtofloat(#p(1));

    for (this.p = 0;this.p < playerscount;this.p++) {

      hitplayer this.p, 3, this.ax, this.ay;

    }

  }

}

NPC Code:

---

if (strequals(#p(2),altairarrowhit)){

---

should be

NPC Code:

---

if (strequals(#p(0),altairarrowhit)){

---

helps?

or you can just go

NPC Code:

---

if (actionprojectile) {

  if (strequals(#p(0),altairarrowhit)) {

    if (!nopkzone) {

      hurt 1;

    }

  }

}

that'll do .5 damage. Hope it helps

Re: Re: Help with actionprojectile
 

Wrong.

He is doing it in the Control NPC, that then #p(0) is the landing x, and the #p(1) is the landing y.

You should have it in some kind of system weapon and in clientside...THEN it would be #p(0).

Re: Re: Re: Help with actionprojectile
 

What do you mean "#p(0) is the landing x, and the #p(1) is the landing y."? Those params are set using the command setshootparams. They don't have a designated value to begin with unless you set them.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Help with actionprojectile
 

I generally don't use shoot, BUT here's how it should be setting:
#p(0) = x of projectile
#p(1) = y of projectile
#p(2) = first param of projectile
and so on and so fourth. It's like how if (pm) takes #p(1) as the first param (or rcchat, think it's PM) where it's not the first param as #p(0). Just trust us on this one m8 ;) If it's online on a server let me know and I'll come check it out in about 2-3 hours when I get home and before I go to work tonight.

O, ya learn something new everyday I guess...=)

ALSO
 

The script I posted is clientside, not serverside. Serverside would of had the with (players[i]) stuff. Also, I already put //#CLIENTSIDE in the npc but I forgot to post it here. But it's pretty obvious it's not serverside.

BTW, my server is online and the name is Altair (not visible).

Hmmm I will make a little docu about custom hitpoint system and how to handle projectile impacts in a few hours, need it for Zone and Classic anyway so I can also post it here.

A quick note: on serverside you need to do 'hitobjects', the other commands (hitplayer etc.) don't work

There posted, in a new sticky thread :)

// NPC made by Medabee5111
if (created) {
toweapons Gun Test;
hide;
}
if (weaponfired) {
freezeplayer 0.2;
players[].sprite = 33;
if(playerdir==0){
setshootparams #w,500;
shoot playerx,playery-1.5,,3.14/2,,0,adv_snowball,;
}
if(playerdir==2){
setshootparams #w,500;
shoot playerx+0.01,playery,,3.14*3/2,,0,adv_snowball,;
}
if(playerdir==1){
setshootparams #w,500;
shoot playerx-0.1,playery-0.3,,3.14,,0,adv_snowball,;
}
if(playerdir==3){
setshootparams #w,500;
shoot playerx+0.1,playery-0.3,,0,,0,adv_snowball,;

if(strequals(#p(0),Gun Test)){
lay heart;
}
}

//i made it do lay heart; couse i knew that it would make somthing happen if action projectile worked on the NPC
