"Shoot" Command

[GoZelda]

Can someone explain me the Shoot command, i don't understand it, but i need it for my Playerworld Project.

[Python523]

shoot x,y,z,angle,zangle,power,gani,params

x - the place on the x axis the projectile starts at
y - the place on the y axis the projectile starts at
z - the place on the z axis the projectile starts at
angle - the angle it moves at, use getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir)) to shoot it at the direction the player is facing
zangle
zangle - the verticle angle it shoots at, 0 gives it a 0 slope (basically it will shoot like this ----------------) and pi/2 will shoot it straight up
power - the strength of the projectile, make it 0 and it will move till it hits something
gani - the gani the projectile uses
params - params for the gani

Use 3.14/2. As far as I know pi isn't a built in variable.

i just said pi because if someone doesn't know what pi is then he or she shouldn't script -.-

I am learning new things all the time... Does that mean I shouldn't script?

pi is indeed a built in variable

*checks*
*sees it is*

Well, then I take back what I said about it not being a built in variable. :|

I understand most of it, except for Z and zangle... i tryed to make a script but it soooo sucks

Z angle is the angle that it takes while going up\down. Just play around with it. Use numbers from 0.1 to 2.1 .

K, thanks people. Oh, and pi is 3.14 and another load of numbers behind, it won't stop. so, i DO know that :P

[GoZelda]

K, if have updated, here is the script. It's going fine, except for the fact that it is going the wrong direction! (I use g2k2 gani's now):
// NPC made by Cyrin
if (created) {
}
if (playertouchsme) {
toweapons Bow;
}
if (weaponfired){
if (playerdir=2){
shoot playerx+.5,playery,3.14*3/2,2.1,3.14/5,1,g2k2bolt,30;
}
if (playerdir=1){
shoot playerx,playery,150,3.14,3.14/2.5,1,re_arrow,0;
}
}

Please tell me what i have done wrong.Oh, and thanks Trevor and all of you, you helped me out a lot with the zangle stuff

You cant set a variable like that. more than likely your trying to check what the player's dir is. So use == not =.

[GoZelda]

thnaks, but that isn't the problem. When i'm in 2 (down) the arrows shoots like 0 (up)

[Holyblade_Owner]

angle - the angle it moves at, use getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir)) to shoot it at the direction the player is facing

Did you read what jagen said?

[GoZelda]

didn't work

I played around with it a bit, it works fine now, except for the fact that the arrow lands right in front of me :'( here's shoot thingy:

if (playerdir=2){
shoot playerx+.5,playery,.1
,getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir))
,1.5,1,g2k2bolt,30;
}
