Push and Pull

Lambda · Post by **Lambda** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 7:19 pm

I've seen and played mods where you can push and pull objects with projectiles. I know how to make a push force, but I'm really interested in being able to make a pull force, so anybody wanna tell me how?

It has something to do with projectile speeds. Or So I've Heard.

Speed has to be extremely high or something... or something like 1e5 I dunno.
What you could do is make the projectile shoot backwards from a certain distance ahead, this would limit the range of use though.

i believe someone over at modhalo did it, hes not telling anyone though. I remember him saying something about a turret which shoots 2 projectiles and hes able to stop something from moving in mid air. Also i think conure did it once, so ive heard.

Sadlly th origanal topic is gona, but here is how do it.

Malolo420 wrote:Make the weapon have a bottomless clip, around 35 for a rate of fire, 5 projectiles per shot, the bullet damage do 0.0001 damage, and 0.5 force Make the projectile initial speed 1E+14 and final 1E+15.
Then put max range for 99999.

That should work.

that makes a float gun, which is kinda cool.

On mac the pull gun (1e+14) only works as a lift gun, if a Windows user hosts it will pull though.
Push gun is pretty self explanatory.

Works for weapons, if that's what you're going for.

Post it on a tutorial.

anyone care to explain WHY that works? I'm interested.

This in no way represents the real reason but this is a theory.
The bullet goes so fast that it actually jumps through the vehicle partially and hits the other side thus causing it to pull towards you.
Just one idea, would also explain a fault in Macsoft's port to mac that causes the bullet to only hop half way through and cause it to lift.

That's actually what I was looking for. Do you know of any way to do that with PC, I've been expierimenting to no avail, and I'd rather turn my attention towards finding a way to make respawning AI.

Maybe making the AI spawn from an Item Collection?
Go into HHT and open the item collection tag, then try swapping the weapon to an AI. It may work.

Doubt it would be anything but a lifeless biped.

probably would work if it was an actv instead of a bipd

Yeah, that was my first thought, but spawning an actv through that gave me an exception, which actually surprised me. After that I tried editing [weap] tags, hoping that having the weapon reference the actv be the same as the actv referencing whatever, but of course it's not.

Still working on it. Got another Idea.

EDIT: HAHAHAHAH IM A MAD-SCIENTIST.

Nahh jk, but I got it to work. You'll all be happy to know my new mod will have respawning AI, using only tools on the PC, no CE work at all.
