FireProjectile

Ok, what I'm trying to do is make it so I can use a variable in fireprojectile. But it comes up as y_vec being = 0.
My code:

y_vec = 1;
weappos = FireProjectile(player, posghost, -1, -1, '0 y_vec 0.0 ', '0 0 0', 0, 0, 0, 0);

I also tried:

y_vec = 1;
weappos = FireProjectile(player, posghost, -1, -1, '0, y_vec, 0.0 ', '0 0 0', 0, 0, 0, 0);

Anyone got any ideas?

AFAIK, you cant use variables in vector strings. Use something like this:

Code:

y_vec = 1;

variable = vectorset(0, y_vec, 0);

Weappos = Fireprojectile(Player, Posghost, -1, -1, variable, '0 0 0', 0, 0, 0, 0);

You need to assemble a complete vector. So, use 'Vectorset()' to compile one.

Fairly easy stuff. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

Ahh poo. I knew I was doing something wrong... just didnt realise it needed to be a vector. Thanks very much.
