Well, I'm having trouble getting my bullets to ignore me. Couldn't make the push thing work, so I thought id just create the bullets a bit in front of the player right?.. but I couldn't get this to work either. well .. I tryed doing it this way ent_create ("bullet.mdl",player.x + 20, Bullet); and .. that won't work ..

so what CAN I DO ! im lost. . ^ ^ HELP ;P

The reason that you couldn't get it in front of the player is because '+ 20' does not get affected by player rotation.
Try searching for vec_for_angle in the manual and see if you can figure out .

For your other problem, I can't read your script from here, so I have no clue .

How can I use vec_for_angle ? Example?

vec_for_angle(temp, player.pan); //rotate the vector to the player rotation
vec_normalize(temp, 20); //move the rotated vector 20 quants forward
vec_add (temp, player.x); // put it in front of the player

temp will now be in front of the player, regardless of how you turn

vec_set(temp,vector(20,0,0));
vec_for_angle(temp,my.pan);
vec_add(temp,my.x);
ent_create("bullet.mdl",temp,bullet_func);

dont know if its rigth i dont have lite-c

@flits
vec_for_angle resets 'temp', so if you first use vec_set, it will be overwritten by vec_for_angle . Vec_normalize is used to stretch a vector along it's length, so it will be placed [n] quants ahead of where it is facing (in this case, vec_scale will do too).

Well .. It works untill i look up .. then it get wired.. but isn't there any other way to do this with out a trace?

=_O it shouldn't be weird.

So what I understood is that you want to trace from player to [distance in front of the player] and trace for a target? And IGNORE_ME does not work? Presumably you have done something wrong then .

But you can do it many ways without trace, just depends what you want precisely. moving the bullet can be done through c_move or just count up the position with vector calculation. Scanning for entities can be done with c_scan and checking for blocks with c_content (this in combination with c_move). Now you really move the bullet instead of just tracing whether it will hit an object or not. While moving you scan if you hit something. Downside of this method is that it is slower than c_trace.

Yeah .. eh .. What I want I for the bullet model to go from point A to Point B with out hitting the player at all .. and without it being passable. And how should I do that ? Why am i having such a hard time doing this.. ^^ not my day i guess

Ok, then I suggest you try c_move.

This code works:

Code:

---

...
ent_create ("bullet.mdl", my.x, bullet_behaviour);
...

function bullet_behaviour() {
	var covered_distance = 0;
	
	vec_for_angle (my.x, you.pan);
	vec_scale (my.x, 10);
	vec_add (my.x, you.x);
	
	vec_set(my.pan, you.pan);

        //we need to store the you (parent entity) because it will be emptied after the next wait(1)
	ENTITY* parent_ent = you;
	
	while (me) {  
	  you = parent_ent; //search back for the parent entity
	  covered_distance = c_move (me, vector(40 * time_step, 0, 0), nullvector, IGNORE_YOU); //move 40 quants ahead and ignore the parent entity
	  
	  //bullet is stuck on impact, do possible damage and remove
	  if (covered_distance <= 0) {
	    you = c_trace (target.x, target.x, IGNORE_ME); //search for the entity hit
	    if (you) {you.health -= 5;} //If theres an entity, remove health. or whatever you had in mind ;)
	    ent_remove(me); //ptr_remove(me) if you have the newest version
	  }
	  wait(1);
	}
}
