detect where projectile hits wall?

[JkWhoSaysNi]

is there any way to send the x/y of where the projectile hit a wall (or player) back to the NPC that sent it?

PHP Code:

function onactionProjectile2() 


I think you need to add in the setshootparams the x/y of the position it was sent from

ah, thanks.

While I'm on the topic is there any way to speed up projectiles? Really, I want one that fires very fast.

[Chandler]

Yes

shoot x,y,z,angle,zangle,power,gani,ganiparams; shoots a projectile 

[JkWhoSaysNi]

But I've got that already.

I take it power is the speed? I changed it, but with it changed, it doesn't hit destroy when it hits walls.

I've always wanted another type of shoot command with a gravity param .

Anyways, if I remember correctly, the power parameter has different effects depending on the gravity.

I've tried setting gravity high and low, it has an effect and while I can get it to change speed, I cant get it to hit walls at faster speeds. It just flies right over them.

If you set the power of the projectile then it will not work as a classic arrow anymore (which stops at tile walls), it will then fly over them except you place blocking npcs there.

Ok thanks. I really need it to hit the walls.

To be honest I'm probably abusing shoot() anyway. I'm using it from a light to determine which area should be light and which should be shadow in a level. Speeding up the projectile would speed up the process but ah well, it only needs to be done once per level.
