I dont think he wants it player destroyable(at least not through random gunfire), but killed by an event instead

That is correct, I don't want players to be able to destroy it. I hadn't thought about changing the spawnflags, how would I deal damage to it manually through script?

I know how to make a script object explode, but is there a way to make it "explode" like a crate, with no explosion, just the breaking apart effect? I have a wooden structure that I want to break apart like a crate at a certain time in script, and I don't want to have to split it up into segments ...

Ahh cool. I think I found it just by experimenting, not sure if .2 seconds is really a game frame or not, but whatever. Making the net notsolid did the trick, I can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks for all your help.

Yes bd, my weapon was actually already facing 0 before I made this post, so I did not have to move it. Forward vector still made the rock go straight backward, but that was not a problem. If I wanted to I could still use forward vector, I would just use a negative multiplier (ie * -20). The problem ...

Ok, one last question. If the velocity you set really is the change in origin over 20 game frames, does that mean that the speed could potentially change depending on how the individual's fps is? Since I have my rock moving at 2000 units per second through the waypoints until I turn on physics, I'd ...

I did a lot of experimenting with this. My first real problem was actually dealing with the type of siege weapon I made. I made a trebuchet, with a swinging net that launches the rock. I tried many different combonations of vectors and for a while was frustrated because the rock always seemed to ...

Here is the code for the exploderchunk script, he did indeed use physics, and some properties to set vectors. I don't understand how he set the initial speed though.


phyvel local.vec:
self physics_velocity ( local.vec )
wait 0.2
self physics_on 1
self physics_velocity ( local.vec )


end ...

Yeah, I tried having my rock move along a specified waypoint, and then turning physics on in midair, but then it behaves exactly like that func_falling rock, it just stops, falls, and bounces. I even tried turning on physics before launching the rock, and having my siege weapon physically move it ...

Ok, forget how to turn physics on for the rock, I know how to do that. I need to know how to give it a starting velocity and cardinal direction. I tried turning on physics after I released (unbinded) it from the siege weapon, and it stopped in midair. I also tried turning on physics before I started ...

Bdbodger, what luck. I just did a search on physics to find out how to do just what you said with the rock, and I found this topic that I forgot about. How do you turn on physics for the rock? I have found that this is really my only good option now. I used physics to create the path acurately ...

I have a siege weapon i've made, and it throws rocks along a waypoint path that I've made (the path is calculated exactly for gravity, pretty cool actually). But I want to be able to rotate the siege weapon and not have to make a new path for the rocks. I want the path to rotate with the weapon, I ...

I've already tried to bind a waypoint to an object, no luck, so I'm not sure if I'm just doing it wrong or if it's not possible at all. The waypoint just doesn't move for some reason. If it's not possible, is there something I could use that is movable/bindable? I'm basically just trying to be able ...

yeah that's what I figured, darn

Basically that, can you do more complex math in script like sin, cos, tan, and what would be the syntax for it?
