emit projectile

Post by Erik »

A simple function to spawn a projectile
parameters: weapon,unitID(the weapon acts like fired from that unit), initial position and physical properties(velocity), target etc.
Rather odd that this doesn't exist already.

You could make a dummy unit and arbitrarily manipulate it's pieces to emit a projectile from anywhere on the map.

That would make the invisible unit the attacker and lead to bugs(experience not given etc.) and also not give good control over the starting physics.
It shouldn't be too overly difficult adding a function for that i guess?
