I noticed that the walls of the scarab deflect bullets. How can I apply this effect to other surfaces?

i figured this out once but i cant remember. It had something to do with numbers, possable enum, that would determain the surface type of an object. I think the string is that you see saying the surface type might be more for reference than purpose. Since i dont remember how to change the indevidual surface type you could just effect the projectile's collision output on its said materials. You just have to mess with the enum, i warn you though that the name they say are different than what actually happens due to a simple order mix up in the plugin.

sorry if you dont get any of that.

i think i know where this might be. i believe its in the foot tag for the weapon your using, then swap all the effects to the right one in the foot tag, I THINK, but if not that, i believe its a value in the html of things of the vehi, bloc, scen, etc.

I think I understood that. Basically, I need to adjust the projectile's effect on the surface I want to be deflective. The same principle as plasma grenades sticking to certain surfaces (obviously not the same technique)?

lol, he's getting active

And still no medal below his name, what's up with that?

Anyway, I tried messing with the beam rifle's proj, and it refuses to deflect more than once. It hits the first wall, deflects, hits the second, and then dissapears.

ask mr. murder, from his nightwinder mod, he did do that

Yeah, it turns out the plugin was labeled wrong. 4 is indeed reflect.



Now I just need to slow the projectile down a bit. Thanks for your help, everyone.

you might need to increase the "health" of the projectile in order for it to bounce farther. A projectile will only go as far as you specify so you have to up the value in order for it to last longer. On a side note its not a smart idea to test this inside a coag base, the bullets went every where.

Yeah, I increased the life of the projectiles. Strangely enough, I was doing this on Coag.

at the bottom of the proj tag are two floats you need to change parallel friction and perpendicular friction set them at 0 then change the explosion to when at rest.
then it bounces like mad and sticks a target to detonate.
