Friggen Lasers!

[perrinoia]

I'm trying to spawn a simple targeting laser in the sky, shooting down at the ground, but it ain't working.

First, I create a cameraTurret 512 meters above the ground, then I try this:

Code: Select all

Projectile::spawnProjectile("targetLaser", "0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 "@ getBoxCenter(%obj), %obj, "0 0 0");

But nothing happens.

Because I don't think I've ever tried to spawn lasers without a gun, before.

I'll search for them, thanks.

Sorry, the file you requested is not available.

Looks like your host doesn't keep files forever.

Can you send them to me?

Oh, I see. I was trying to make the camera the shooter, and the projectile "targetLaser". Didn't occur to me to spawn a bot, or that my projectile name was wrong.

FYI:

AI::getID() should follow AI::spawn()...

Not sure how it works in reverse order.

hmmm seeker laser, which laser is that?

And yea that $ai is weird.

Next time name all your bots Ninetails

Hmm... Well, I'm testing with 1.40 base, so I guess I'd better make it compatible with both.
