Skilltarget used for synched damage?
2004-01-30, 5:25 PM #1
There's this system I use where you damage someone on touch.

The way it works is I have a sendtrigger in the touched: message that defines who gives the damage, who takes the damage, and how much damage is dealt, each as params.

...So I was fiddling around in Datamaster and I wondered - is there any possible way I could do this with SkillTarget?

My touched: message is as follows:
Code: 
touched:
sender=getsenderref(); //what was touched
source=getsourceref(); //what touched it

//printflex(getcurweaponmode(source));

if(getcurweaponmode(source) > -1 && getcurweaponmode(source) < 1)
{ 
  damagething(sender, 15, 0x2, source);
}
return;


...When I touch something while firing it kills ME, and the thing I touch is unharmed.

Please, for God's sake tell me it's a simple error and I'm just overlooking something obvious.

Maybe it's returning you as the sender instead of the other dude? I'm taking a guess.

Darth Slaw could be right [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] - is the "touched" message in your player's cog or an actor's class cog, because the nature of sender and source will be different depending on who/what sends the message (obviously [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]).

Unfortunately, I know what I mean to say (and the idea I've got in my head) but I'm failing to express it due to fatigue [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]. I'll post back when I can phrase the point I'm trying to get across properly... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]
