"shoot" questions

[wild8900]

What flags would I use to hurt the player? How do I track the x and y position of the bullet?

When a projectile hits, it calls actionprojectile on the player/NPC.

You can set it's parameters with 'setshootparams' before the projectile is shot.

How do I use setshootparams?
and do I use actionprojectile only on serverside?

EDIT:
ok, I can get actionprojectile to work with ncs but how do I use it for players?

[Raeiphon]

Simple.

Make a -System npc and have actionprojectile trigger an event in -System (e.g serverside) and have that do the rest.

E.G -
//System NPC
if (actionprojectile) {
// use your params here, so:
//I dont know the syntax for hurt :O
hurt playerx,playery,#p(0)*2;
}

I seem to have small problems with shoot, it fires alright but the bullets/projectiles dont hurt the player.

Then after a lot more script...

Unless that has to be a serverside action?

playerhearts can only be modified serverside, I believe.
