Different effect hit character vs terrain
by Matt Monforte · in Torque Game Engine · 12/02/2006 (11:21 pm) · 2 replies
I'm looking to do some blood splatter/cloud effects for when the projectile hits a player. This means the effect would have to be different then if the projectile hits terrain. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Then in the projectils onCollision you get a reference to the object the projectile collided with.
You simply then do something like:
etc.

What I did for Air Ace was to add a "material meta info" field to every object in the world (I think it was on SimObject level) - this is done in engine code, but you might be able to fake it in script.Then in the projectils onCollision you get a reference to the object the projectile collided with.
You simply then do something like:
// Spawn explosion
// To our disposal we have:
// dirt, rock, building, metal (tank, train, whatever), plane, and water
// dirt being default
// Spawn particle emitters based on water or object hit
if (%col.getMaterialInfo() $= "water") {
spawnExplosion(%pos, "0 0 1", 0, "TracerWaterExplosion");
} else if (%col.getMaterialInfo() $= "plane") {
spawnExplosion(%pos, "0 0 1", 0, "TracerPlaneExplosion");
} else if (%col.getMaterialInfo() $= "metal") {
spawnExplosion(%pos, "0 0 1", 0, "TracerMetalExplosion");etc.
