[Weapon] Weapon with dvz?

[Gad]

Ok.
I know I can use hit_j: 50+- to operate dvz in balls. I belevie it's just for objects with type 3. (correct me if im wrong)

What if I want to move a weapon in Z direction on spawn? Type 4
I tried to use hit_j, but it didn't seem to work.

you can let a ball create the wepons. since you can control the z of balls, it should work.
or do you need weapons to move after creation?

I want to move object after a spawn.

I take it that you want to do something similar to Woody's D>A except that the character throws weapons?
What if the 1st frame of the thrown weapon is a ball frame like 3000 with hit_j, and then the 2nd frame goes back to being a normal weapon frame, would it retain the momentum of its z-movement? Or basically what mfc said, except you make the ball transform into the weapon.

I'm afraid not. The way hit_j: works (as far as I'm aware) is simply moving the object up or down by whatever specified, it doesn't actually change the velocity of the object. On top of that I think hit_j: only works this way in type: 3 object (balls).

I may have a solution, but it will require modifying the executable. There may be a solution involving data changing only, but it would most likely be buggy.

[Gad]

hit_j doesnt even work on this object, regardless to the state

so i would need to use transformation state, which gives a simple mess, also as Someone else said - seems like hit_j doesn't add a value to the vector but simply moves the object


I want my character to grenades in few directions at once and facing: xx doesn't seem to look fancy, so I will probably have to go with type: 3 object with hit_Fa settings, but this won't allow the grenades to be picked. So i basically will need to spawn balls, which go down with dvy, then, after hitting the ground they spawn another grenades, pickable, which explode after some time.

If you can live with a slight delay and a lot of fine tuning you could use the facing in combination with an invisible ball that blocks the weapon movements only (itr kind 14). The blocking object could move along x and z to give each weapon from the facing a different offset (kind of like a shutter opening from one side) - however they would still all appear at the same time. If pulled off optimal the whole process should run completely invisibly during a wait 1 duration.

Alternatively you could try to spread them out on the z axis with a well placed weapon specific whirlwind itr.

edit: again this may be more trial and error than you are willing to put up with - maybe I'll throw some samples into the timer thing.

[Gad]

I will try using whirlwind itr, which is probably the best idea for now. The whole rest seems kinda hard to be configured.

I wanted to make it with type 3 hit_j, but I need it to go to the certain frame at hitting ground, so I need to use hit_fa, which autmatically makes the 'ball' chase enemy a little. goddamit

simple way: make it a regular ball and use dvy to do the up and down movement. give the ball a hit_a timer, which will lead it into a frame with hit_Fa right before it touches the ground(to allow ground hitting). hope you understand
