Request: findprojectile()

[ChibiChibiLuc]

Could a command like findprojectile(id) be added?
I'm looking for something that lets you modify projectiles that have been shot by the 'shoot' command...

i.e. findprojectile(2).destroy();

Projectiles arent treated as NPCs... it would be too hard to impliment that because every client handles the projectiles on their own.... when a projectile is fired, information is sent to each client about the projectile which then fires it.

Yeah, that's what I thought. :/

But aren't arrows and bombs handled the same way?

Then send new information to every client? o_o

z-z I'm mainly just interested in destroying projectiles and reading their params before they hit.

i.e. an NPC that removes any projectile the first param being 'fireball' in a 4 tile distance of the player, then shoots a projectile back using the angle of the one that was destroyed

It would be interesting to pass the projectile to the function that handles the projectile impact. Changing the flying projectile is not possible. You can access the currently flying projectiles by levels.projectiles[] (new scripting engine),

PHP Code:

  TProjectile (TGraalVar):
    angle - float (read only)
    fromplayer - object
    horiz - boolean (read only)
    params - string
    speed - float (read only)
    x - float (read only)
    y - float (read only)
    z - float (read only)
    zspeed - float (read only)

Thanks, just two more things..

Like I said, would it be possible to add a removeprojectile(index) command, like removearrow(index) and removebomb(index)?

And I can't make my NPC read 'params' or 'fromplayer'...
Are they v4-only?
