the c_move won't move my entity!!!

hello! I'm working (for my excercises) on a spaceship shooter.
See below, the code relative to firing, please:

Code:

---

...
...
			if(key_ctrl && firing==0) {
				firing = 1;
				ent_create("fuoco.mdl",vector(my.x,my.y+32,my.z),fuoco);
			}
...
...

---

my is related to the spaceship. And see this following code:

Code:

---

var firing = 0;
var s_laser;

sound laser <laser1.wav>;

function event_fuoco() {
	firing = 0;
	ent_remove(my);
}

function f_fuoco() {
	temp.x = 0;
	temp.y = 12*time;
	temp.z = 0;
	c_move(e_fuoco, temp, nullvector, IGNORE_YOU); // THIS DON'T WORKS...
	s_laser = snd_play(laser,30,0);
	waitt(3); //
	firing = 0;
}

action fuoco {
	e_fuoco = my;
	e_fuoco.enable_block = ON;
	e_fuoco.event = event_fuoco;
	e_fuoco.scale_x = 0.066;
	e_fuoco.scale_y = 0.066;
	e_fuoco.scale_z = 0.066;
	f_fuoco();
}

---

I'll only see the fire identity appearing but don't move upward... Any idea?

Thank you!

Have the oringinal script that, too?
Code:

---

 
function f_fuoco() {
	temp.x = 0;
	temp.y = 12*time;
	temp.z = 0;
	c_move(e_fuoco, temp, nullvector, IGNORE_YOU); // THIS DON'T WORKS...
	s_laser = snd_play(laser,30,0);
	waitt(3); //
	firing = 0;
}

When you run the game (or something other) a error message appears?
Sorry for my bad english,

Pinkhead

No errors appears during gameplay.
The WAITT(3); is used to make a delay of firing when you hold down the ctrl key....

Oh sorry, i don't know that waiTT(3); exist...
I'm not a expert.
Test it so: Maybe it works.

Code:

---

var firing = 0;
var s_laser;

sound laser <laser1.wav>;

function event_fuoco() {
	firing = 0;
	ent_remove(my);
}

action fuoco {
	e_fuoco = my;
	e_fuoco.enable_block = ON;
	e_fuoco.event = event_fuoco;
	e_fuoco.scale_x = 0.066;
	e_fuoco.scale_y = 0.066;
	e_fuoco.scale_z = 0.066;
	f_fuoco();
}

function f_fuoco() {
	temp.x = 0;
	temp.y = 12*time;
	temp.z = 0;
	c_move(e_fuoco,temp,nullvector,IGNORE_YOU);
	s_laser = snd_play(laser,30,0);
	waitt(3); //
	firing = 0;
}

the difference by wait() and waitt() is:

wait(n) - waits for n frames
waitt(n) - waits for n ticks

Ah ok,
Does my new code work right?

Hi,

you need a while loop in your script.
Without a loop your c_move instruction is called only once.

Example:
Code:

---

function f_fuoco() {
	s_laser = snd_play(laser,30,0);
	while(my) { // repeat as long as this entity exists
		temp.x = 0;
		temp.y = 12*time;
		temp.z = 0;
		c_move(e_fuoco, temp, nullvector, IGNORE_YOU); 
		wait(1); 
	}
}

yes Fenriswolf! I've missed the loop... Doh! Now works! Pinkhead thanks!

Thank you very much guys!!! :)

Yeah the loop, i forgot it.
Good Luck by your work, ato!

Thank you! I'll post to you a screenshot in this day

Hello!
As promising to you, is there a screenshot of my project. You can see the firing replication and moving



Thank you again!
