Making moving inanimate objects summon other moving innanimate objects

[Deus Ex Machina]

(There's a reason why this title is very long)
It's so this post will contain nothing!

[Silverthorn]

erm.... what do you mean by that?
are you talking about dead people summoning other stuff?

[Deus Ex Machina]

No.
I want to make it so that when thrown, Freeze' ice sword will summon another ice sword.
Said ice sword will move along the xyz axis.

[YinYin]

still not very clear
but if you are talking about bringing one objects z movement to the one it spawns - thats impossible

youll have to do sth like freeze' icicles with a 'mother' object - but even there the icicles dont move the direction you pressed
(zmovement is only set by either AI/player or hit_j in type3 objects - there however it is only either up or down)

Put a opoint in the throwing frames, du'h

[Deus Ex Machina]

Don't take me wrong here, Lauli, but I think I'm not completely incompetent :/
Well, YinYin answered my question (sorta)
(that it's impossible :/)
UnSolved Indefinately, i guess.

EDIT:
Wait, YinYin,
I meant that I want it so that the 2nd ice sword mirrors the movement of the 1st.
And since the 1st moves along the z-axis, I want the 2nd one to do that too.

yes thats what ive been talking about
i still dont get what you really want to achieve with this

could it be solved by making the icesword spawn itself another one holding it - and dropping it once its back on the ground?

[Deus Ex Machina]

No, that won't work.
I can't even get the sword to move along an uncontrolled zaxis, so my plan's busted indefinately :/

[YinYin]

well they would move together and become seperate objects as soon as they get hit or drop

[Deus Ex Machina]

They don't have to be separate, it'll disappear after about 20 TU's.
