C-Trace - 03/04/17 10:34

I am experimenting with c_trace. All the examples i find are those where c_trace is activate and used by a weapon.

How would it work if i want to have my player a continues c_trace above him that sticks with the player ?

many thankx for the help

just put the c_trace on the player's action main loop and use offsets from player.x for your trace vectors

Could you provide an example in the weapons it uses from weapon point to an enemy. I need more from my x to my.z + 50

thx anyway for your reaction

something like this:

Code:

action player_action()
{
	...
	
	VECTOR from_vec,to_vec;
	var trace_dist;
	
	...
	
	
	while(me)
	{
		
		...
		
		//Set the from vector
		vec_set(from_vec,my.x);
		
		//Set the to vector
		vec_set(to_vec,vector(0,0,50)); //trace to my.z+50
		vec_rotate(to_vec,my.pan);
		vec_add(to_vec,my.x);
		
		//Trace
		trace_dist=c_trace(from_vec,to_vec,IGNORE_ME);
		
		if(trace_dist>0) //Something was hit
		{
			...
		}
		
		...
		
		wait(1);
	}
	
	...
	
}
