Title: LGB's out of nowhere
Post by: gadolinite on 03 Jun 2003, 02:21:28

 ???How is it that you create Laser Guided bombs to fall inside a trigger area (only) during a cutscene?

 ???They just told me to do it in the hot topic 'Destruction Inside Trigger' ???

In your camera script put:

bomb="LaserGuidedBomb" CamCreate (Getpos f1)

where f1 is a named object.   ;)  Or you could put that line in a trigger as well, I believe.  (try it out)

Just write that name (F1) in the NAME field of the trigger itself (not the TEXT field)  :o 8) :-*

 it will hit whatever you've named and  then defined in the camcreate code:


in Tomby's example   F1 = your trigger...

bomb is created at F1

in O'Neil's example  (which won't get you an LGB by the way ;) )

the bomb would be created 50 meters above the unit/vehicle/etc that you named dude

if you skip the setpos stuff the bomb will be created at the feet of the unit named dude

:toocool:

Im sorry I wasn't to specific.... If I understood you correctly the bomb that you camcreated will strike the object you assigned in this case as you pointed out f1

Is this an instant strike?

I was thinking bomb starts at 500m and your camera is on its ass till it hits the target... possible?

 Yeah.. the code you posted  would be an instant strike literally at the feet of poor old F1

if you used the code O'neil gave  it would create your bomb at 50 meters above the named target and then let gravity do the rest....
