Need help, iTorque coding.

#1 Hi Thomas,

We'll be happy to help. So first things first, can you describe the code that you're already using? If you click the "MarkupLite is enabled" link, you'll see how to add tags to make code in your posts more readable.

Once we see what you're attempting to do, we'll be able to provide better help.

Cheers.

#2 I am using the FaceTouch.cs file from the provided tutorials and games. This behavior allows the object to face the direction that the mouse cursor(touch) is.

The issue I'm having is having the projectile go to the same area.

Here is the coding I am failing with:
I hope I am adding this to the thread correctly. I see that there is a linearVelocityX for direction, but what would I change that to? Are there other areas to modify as well?

function TimerShootsAdvBehavior::fire(%this)
{
   if (!isObject(%this.projectile) || !%this.owner.enabled || !%this.isToggled)
      return;
   
   %projectile = %this.projectile.cloneWithBehaviors();
   
   %position = %this.owner.position;
   
   if(isObject(%this.muzzleFlash))
   {
      %this.muzzleFlash.setVisible(!%this.muzzleFlash.getVisible());
   }
   if(%this.muzzlePoint > -1)
   {
      %muzzlePoint = %this.owner.getLinkPoint(%this.muzzlePoint);
      %position = %muzzlePoint;
   }
   %projectile.setPosition(getWords(%position, 0, 1));
   %projectile.setLinearVelocityX(%this.projectileSpeed);
   
   %this.schedule(%this.genDelay(), "fire");
}

#3 setLinearVelocityX is just the velocity along the X axis.

You'll want to use

setLinearVelocityPolar(%direction, %speed)

#4 I got it working. I had to change the code to:

%projectile.setLinearVelocityPolar(%this.owner.rotation, %this.projectileSpeed);

Thank you for your help!!
