class cog probs

this class cog is supposed to make the projectile explode whenever it hits a thing, its works to some extent but not all the way. it will explode on contact with things that are archi but not things like weapon pickups and most importantly the player... so any help on revising this so it works would be appreciated, thanks.

You don't exactly need something like this. You could just make it the 'explosion=template' part of the projectiles template.

Touched doesn't run when the player touches your object? Can you post the template? I want to test that.

Not too sure that this will work, but try taking out the class cog and using a weapon with 0x309 typeflags. It should do what you want, but make sure it works correctly with all types of things.

Voilà! Remove the first bit from the flag.

Your projectile won't collide with items because items won't collide with it. I suppose you could put a pulse in the class to cog to check for items if that's what you need.

And just for the record, JED is a damned nuisance. Whenever I save a level, I have to open up the jkl and fix the things JED screwed up. I'm going to tell CA / Alex...
