While you're at it, can you make all weapons capable of being fired and traveling underwater?

waterbounce tag?
groundbounce tag = bounce on ground (GB tag)
waterbounce tag = bounce on water (WB tag)
GB +!WB = ground bounce, water boom
!GB + WB = ground boom, water bounce (dam busters, anyone?)
WB + GB = ground bounce, water bounce
As for the timer, there is a weapontimer tag...

What about something that bounced on he ground always? As in if it hits water it pretends the water isnt there and bounces on the seafloor?

or even better when it hits water it sinks slowly and bounces slower and all till it splodes

I finally got this to a point I am happy with it. Committed to svn.

You added flighttime to the cannon, when the time runs out will the shot explode immediately or the next time it touches the ground?

It will explode immediately after running out of time. Perhaps I should change that?
I'm also thinking about adding min/max bounce angle, and/or the ability to call a CEG on a bounce.

ability to explode and bounce away would be cool, too (scorched earth and leap frog bullet anyone? ^^)

Timed fuse is good. Works for bombs too, right?

Yes, keep it timed and add in the call for a CEG. I would like that greatly. I already have some weapons that could have used this.

CEG call added. Tag is bounceExplosionGenerator.

Can you add a trail-like CEG while yo`'re at it? I mean, let us attach a CEG to a projectile that gets fired in an interval set with a separate tag.

Will this work for all weapon types, ilm?
Posted: 27 Sep 2007, 00:35
by ILMTitan
It will work for projectile weapons, such as explosive projectiles (ballistic things like plasma and bombs), missiles, OTA style lasers, emg's, flame projectiles, and possibly other things I am forgetting.
It will not work for hit scan weapons, like beamlasers, lightning guns and melee weapons.

Flighttime on bombs seems weird, I've tried a flighttime of 6 and the bombs wouldn't go off until about 30 seconds later.

How does NumBounce listed in the
http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Weapon_Variables page affect this new idea?
Posted: 29 Sep 2007, 08:56
by ILMTitan
It's part of this patch. NumBounce is the (maximum) number of bounces a projectile can do.
