SetThingVel(When On Ground)

Hi!

Code:

activated:
   player = GetSourceRef();
   mode = GetSenderRef();
   if (mode > 1)
      Return;

   PlaySoundThing(clickSound[mode], player, 1.0, -1.0, -1.0, 0x80);
if(mode==0)
{
	if(out==0)
	{
   if(GetInv(player, 4) < 1 && out==0)
   {
      if(GetAutoSwitch() & 1)
      {
         SelectWeapon(player, AutoSelectWeapon(player, 1));
      }
      else
      {
         SelectWeapon(player, 1);
      }
	return;
   }
   // Cock arm back for throw.
   if(preThrowTrack == -1 && prePOVThrowTrack == -1)
   {
      prePOVThrowTrack = jkPlayPOVKey(player, prePOVThrowAnim, 1, 0x14);
      preThrowTrack = PlayMode( player, 38 );
      ActivateWeapon(player, 0, mode);
   }
	}
	else
	{
		if(IsCrouching(player))
		{
			SetThingVel(marble,VectorAdd(GetThingLVec(marble),'0 0 1'));
			PlaySoundThing(bounce,marble,1,-1,10,0x80);
			PlaySoundLocal(bounce,1,0,0x0);
		}
		else
		{
			PlaySoundLocal(shoot,1,0,0x0);
			FireProjectile(marble,beem,shoot,-1,'0 0 0','0 0 0',0,0x60,360,360);
		}
	}
}

Help, how do I make the Italic code work, when marble is touching a surface. Marble looks like this:

Quote:

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
+ball1 none orient=(0/0/0) type=actor model3d=ball1.3DO size=0.025 movesize=0.025 soundclass=ball1.snd height=0.025 damageclass=0x1 damage=100 move=physics collide=1 vel=(0.000000/2.000000/1.500000) physflags=0x227 mass=2 airdrag=0 surfdrag=10 buoyancy=1 typeflags=0x100161 explode=+ball_exp cog=ball.cog
</font>

As it is now, the marble flies if I click fast enough. Please help!

Oh, and also. How do I check to see if marble has collided with something. And specify if it is a thing or a surface...

Hmmm, no idea concerning your first problem. The second problem may be solved this way:

Code:

touched:
 toucher = GetSourceRef();
 type = GetThingType(toucher);
 return;

Not sure if it will work though, as the information in the datamaster is a bit confusing:
"The touched message is sent by an object when a thing touches it. It is not sent by the toucher, but by the object that was touched."

Try using "applyforce" instead of set thing velocity. It will look more realistic, if you're trying to do what I think.

First, though, you might also try reducing your surfacedrag in the template. It seems a bit high for such a small object, and affects an object touching a surface.

Nah, applyforce is not all that greate. I still jump in mid air, and if I click enough times, I speed up and fly. How do I do so that the marble only jumps when it is on the ground. Or touching a surface/thing.

And I added something in the touched message of the class COG:

Code:

# Ball Class
#
# By Edward
symbols

message		created
message		touched

thing		marble		local
thing		player		local

sound		pling=wlkrsht2.wav	local

end
#
code
created:
	player=GetSourceRef();
	marble=GetSenderRef();
return;
touched:
	If(GetSourceRef()!=marble) return;
	PlaySoundThing(pling,GetSenderRef(),1,-1,10,0x0);
	If(GetSenderRef()==player) return;
	DamageThing(GetSenderRef(),GetThingVel(GetSourceRef()),0x1,GetSourceRef());
return;
end

To test if it was working. Didn't hear a thing.

Hmm, you could check it's attach flags. If the 0x1 flag isn't set, it's in the air, right?

Well, you see... The marble doesn't attach itself to any surfaces. It simply rolls over them. Like a grenade, only more slippery...

why not just create a new child template called +surfhit or something. Just copy/edit a template from one of the laser weapons, then remove everything BUT the sound. That way each time it hits something, bingo, a sound.

Put a "Print("blahbah");" command in the "touched" message to see if it's called. It shouldn't be be displayed, and thus, your code isn't executed, since "Touched" isn't called if the surface/thing that was touched has the floor flag set. Try "Entered" perhaps?

Printing something in the touched message didn't work. Touched is not getting the message.
But the firing projectile thingy gave me a little idea on how to make the marble jump when on ground. Hm... Maybe, a +punch replica, only explosion is bigger, doesn't give damage, but gives a little force. Hm... I'll have to think about that one. Right now, bed time...
