Rocket Aiming

[redrum]

Lets say I wanted to fire a rocket into the ground.
How would I change this code?

Code: Select all

void() W_FireRocket =
{
   if (deathmatch != 4)
      self.currentammo = self.ammo_rockets = self.ammo_rockets - 1;
   
   sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/sgun1.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);

   msg_entity = self;
   WriteByte (MSG_ONE, SVC_SMALLKICK);

   newmis = spawn ();
   newmis.owner = self;
   newmis.movetype = MOVETYPE_FLYMISSILE;
   newmis.solid = SOLID_BBOX;
      
// set newmis speed     

   makevectors (self.v_angle);
   newmis.velocity = aim(self, 1000);
   newmis.velocity = newmis.velocity * 1000;
   newmis.angles = vectoangles(newmis.velocity);
   
   newmis.touch = T_MissileTouch;
   newmis.voided = 0;
   
// set newmis duration
   newmis.nextthink = time + 5;
   newmis.think = SUB_Remove;
   newmis.classname = "rocket";

   setmodel (newmis, "progs/missile.mdl");
   setsize (newmis, '0 0 0', '0 0 0');             
   setorigin (newmis, self.origin + v_forward*8 + '0 0 16');
};

Change

makevectors (self.v_angle);
newmis.velocity = aim(self, 1000);
newmis.velocity = newmis.velocity * 1000;

to:

v_forward = '0 0 -1';
newmis.velocity = '0 0 -1000';

Thanks!

In PlayerPostThink, I want to add a line of code that says:

if (my health is less than 10 and I launch a rocket)

How would I do this?

Code: Select all

if (self.health < 10 && (self.??????) )

I can't figure out the launch the rocket part.

[Lardarse]

Better way to add the check is when you fire the rocket (which is in the rocket firing function), and then check for low health there.

Here's the correct code:

Code: Select all

if (self.health < 10 && self.weapon == IT_ROCKET_LAUNCHER && self.button0)


This says: If my health is less than 10 AND my current weapon is the rocket launcher AND I'm pressing the fire button, then I'll do the function in this statement.

[Preach]

Won't that return true even after the frame that the rocket has been fired, so long as the player holds the fire button down?
