No, you got it all wrong. Its all about the Racoons. And bucky o'hare.

(Batman was good though as well as ninja turtles.)

OK, so I worked a way around my problem... (by not trying to do it that way, I realised I was being stupid and trying to do somthing I didn't even need) I'm wondering though... is there a limit on the number of threads in a script? Currently I have 4, will going to 5 make it slow down loads if there...

... hmmm, OK, is there some way I can include the code (IE, like in PHP you might do an include of say your page headers, so there all referencing one file? Although in this case I just want to reference a block of code elsewere in the script...)

Yep... more questions for you coding gurus out there... I have a function and I want it to call another function. Example: function script.AimWeapon1( heading, pitch ) --make sure the aiming animation is only run once Signal(SIG_AIM) Signal(SIG_SWING) SetSignalMask(SIG_AIM) if heading < math.rad(180...

Succses! Not the final effect, but I atleast got it to work as expected! Have to remember that when using CExpGenSpawner you have to pass on things like "dir" into the ceg your calling... or it wont work and will bug you for days...

aGorm

Thats one of the threads I was looking at yes... (I do use the forum search you know... ). I can't spot what I've done differently from anyone elses...

http://pastebin.com/nPEN65kh OK, having looked through more examples (namely: http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/source/browse/trunk/mods/zk/effects/barney.lua http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/source/browse/trunk/mods/zk/effects/annabelle.lua ) I thought maybe I was on teh right track, but I still can'...

After a lot of faf I got it to point in the right direction... (put the flare inside another empty object and rotated that parent... only way it seemed to work!) Now I'm wondering... anyone have an example of how you use "CExpGenSpawner" to que up several effects # You can animate an explo...

I noticed rotating the emit peice gave no joy... hence the post. I shall try re-adding/rotating the point in upspring to see what happens.

aGorm

I guess the silence means no one knows an answer...

Hmmm... one problem, the "dir" the effect gets fed seems to be off to one side. How do you change that?

aGorm

Thanks guys... knorke you are legend.

FLOZi, nope this is a one of flare. Why what were you going to suggest? (As I may still need a default one for some guns I expect...)

OK, can someone link me to how you use CEG's? More specificaly, for a muzzle flare? In Lua? Maybe I just sux, but I can't seem to piece together the workings from what I can find here.

aGorm

No problem.

For some reason the dds one looks lighter, but otherwise the same... not sure why teh conversion would do that.

aGorm

::::EDIT:::: Thuther to this... I re-re-exported them adn now they work fine... must have been some weird glitch.

No, (I did have that but i dorted that out...)

This is that (if you look carfully) the bright side of the model (IE thats lit by the sun) is also the side with the shadows. IE, the lit source is on the left, but the light is showing on the right on the models.

aGorm

OK, so you though the questions had stoped right? well your wrong.. I'm back with whole new problem! error.jpg For some reason, after I converted the normal maps to dds, all the normals seem to be backwards... (See how the sunny side is the same as the side with shadows...) I'm assumeing that it's s...

Not to say this isn't the best thing since sliced chorizo Beherith, but what would be the odds of also desaturating the features out of los?? Then it would be even more epic.

OK, so i found the bug. local function walk() [color=#BF0000]Sleep (math.random(100))[/color] Signal(SIG_WALK) SetSignalMask(SIG_WALK) while (true) do For some reason this sleep causes it to trigger? I don't know why though. I was using it to desynce the walk cycles so large groups would look odd, (...
