This has been Bugging me...

Well From redrums Charge code, I made it suitable for Prime. But I was wondering, if The velocity returns when self.charge returns to 0.
Look

/*
================
Blaster Firing
================
*/

Code: Select all

void() W_FireBlaster =
{

   local   entity plasma;
   blaster_flash();
   self.currentammo = self.ammo_blaster = self.ammo_blaster - 0;
   sound (self, CHAN_AUTO, "weapons/guncock.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
   self.punchangle_x = -2;

   plasma = spawn ();
   plasma.owner = self;
   plasma.movetype = MOVETYPE_FLYMISSILE;
   plasma.solid = SOLID_BBOX;
   plasma.classname = "missile";
      
// Set the speed of the Plasma

   makevectors (self.v_angle);
   plasma.velocity = aim(self, 1000);
   if (self.charge >= 10)   // Sets the Velocity for When charging the Blaster
      if (self.charge < 20)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 4200;
   if (self.charge >= 20)
      if (self.charge < 30)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 3700;
   if (self.charge >= 30)
      if (self.charge < 40)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 3400;
   if (self.charge >= 40)
      if (self.charge < 50)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 3100;
   if (self.charge >= 50)
      if (self.charge < 60)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 2800;
   if (self.charge >= 60)
      if (self.charge < 70)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 2500;
   if (self.charge >= 70)
        plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 2000;
   else
   plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 4500;

   plasma.angles = vectoangles(plasma.velocity);
   
   if (self.charge >= 10)   // Sets the Different Damages
      if (self.charge < 20)
        plasma.touch = BlasterTouch1;
   if (self.charge >= 40)
      if (self.charge < 50)
       plasma.touch = BlasterTouch2;
   if (self.charge >= 70)
        plasma.touch = BlasterTouch3;
   else
   plasma.touch = BlasterTouch;
   setmodel (plasma, "progs/blast.spr");
   if (self.charge >= 50 || self.charge >= 70)
   plasma.frame = 0;
   else
   plasma.frame = 2;

   setsize (plasma, '0 0 0', '0 0 0');      
   setorigin (plasma, self.origin + v_forward*10 + '0 0 16');
   
// set missile duration
   plasma.nextthink = time + 5;
   plasma.think = SUB_Remove;
   self.charge = 0;
};

Should I have a seperate code that Givees another entity the same charge as the player? Like it passes the charge level of the player onto the entity, and When the entity gets removed, then entity.charge = 0?

Like once self.charge = 0;, Does the velocity return to else or does it stay the same all the time? I am just wondering. Don't know if you quite understand my question. This is just a quick question, and I will delete this thread once it's answered.

Your current code is always going to set the plasma.velocity to plasma.velocity * 4500 unless self.charge is more than 70.

You need to rewrite it like this:

Code: Select all

if(self.charge >= 70)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 2000;
else if (self.charge >= 60)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 2500;
else if (self.charge >= 50)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 2800;
else if (self.charge >= 40)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 3100;
else if (self.charge >= 30)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 3400;
else if (self.charge >= 20)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 3700;
else if (self.charge >= 10)
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 4200;
else
plasma.velocity = plasma.velocity * 4500;

Code: Select all

if (self.charge >= 70)
plasma.touch = BlasterTouch3;
else if (self.charge >= 40 && self.charge < 50)
plasma.touch = BlasterTouch2;
else if (self.charge >= 10 && self.charge < 20)
plasma.touch = BlasterTouch1;
else
Plasma.touch = BlasterTouch;

beware the sv_maxvelocity cvar too!

[Mexicouger]

What's that cvar do. I am hitting nowhere near Maxvelocity for a Projectile.

[ceriux]

max velocity controls every things velocity you need to raise it. i had an issue with a sniper i was designing once.
