Scattergun Problema
2004-03-01, 3:53 PM #1
I have a SP, JK actor with a weapon that I want to act as a scattergun(shotgunish).
I have tweaked this basic code countless times but no success [the fire message]: (the following is its actor cog.)
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# ENEMY2.COG
#
# ACTOR Script - Enemy with scattergun
#
# Is modified from actor_s3.cog
#
# [F_Body]
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co.

But it still shoots the only one weapon tpl I have designated it in the master.tpl
Any ideas? I tried looking at such cogs from SS3 but those are too complex with weapon modes, etc.

Look at the stormtrooper rifle cog. You are'nt spcifying the fire error. It's firing your projectiles, but they are all going along the same path and are at the same spot.

Try using this code instead
Code: 
for(i = 0 ; i < 8 ; i = i + 1)
{
	rVec = VectorSet((Rand() - 0.5) * 15, (Rand() - 0.5) * 15, 0.0);
	FireProjectile(guy, projectile, -1, -1, '0.0098 0.057 0.01', rVec, 1.0, 0x60, autoAimFOV, autoAimXFOV);
}

The variable 'rvec' is of the 'vector' type.

The problem is your having the shots come all from one spot.. Try it more like this:


Code: 
dummy = FireProjectile(guy, projectile, -1, -1, '0.0098 0.051 0.01', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x60, autoAimZFOV, autoAimXFOV);
dummy = FireProjectile(guy, projectile, -1, -1, '0.0098 0.052 0.01', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x60, autoAimZFOV, autoAimXFOV);
dummy = FireProjectile(guy, projectile, -1, -1, '0.0098 0.053 0.01', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x60, autoAimZFOV, autoAimXFOV);
dummy = FireProjectile(guy, projectile, -1, -1, '0.0098 0.054 0.01', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x60, autoAimZFOV, autoAimXFOV);
dummy = FireProjectile(guy, projectile, -1, -1, '0.0098 0.055 0.01', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x60, autoAimZFOV, autoAimXFOV);
return;


I'm not sure though.. O_o

[Edit: Didnt Format the Code correctly.. o.o]
