Projectile
Base projectile class. Uses the ProjectileData class for properties of individual projectiles.
Physics
Point3F
Starting position for the projectile.
Point3F
Starting velocity for the projectile.
Source
int
ID number of the object that fired the projectile.
int
The sourceObject's weapon slot that the projectile originates from.
bool
Public Static Attributes
bool
Disables rendering of all instances of this type.
bool
Disables selection of all instances of this type.
Public Functions
void
presimulate(float seconds)
Updates the projectile's positional and collision information.
Detailed Description
Base projectile class. Uses the ProjectileData class for properties of individual projectiles.
Physics
Point3F initialPosition
Starting position for the projectile.
Point3F initialVelocity
Starting velocity for the projectile.
Source
int sourceObject
ID number of the object that fired the projectile.
note:If the projectile was fired by a WeaponImage, sourceObject will be the object that owns the WeaponImage. This is usually the player.
int sourceSlot
The sourceObject's weapon slot that the projectile originates from.
bool ignoreSourceTimeout
Public Static Attributes
bool isRenderable
Disables rendering of all instances of this type.
bool isSelectable
Disables selection of all instances of this type.
Public Functions
presimulate(float seconds)
Updates the projectile's positional and collision information.
This function will first delete the projectile if it is a server object and is outside it's ProjectileData::lifetime. Also responsible for applying gravity, determining collisions, triggering explosions, emitting trail particles, and calculating bounces if necessary.Parameters:
| seconds | Amount of time, in seconds since the simulation's start, to advance. // Tell the projectile to process a simulation event, and provide the amount of time // that has passed since the simulation began. %seconds = 2.0; %projectile.presimulate(%seconds); |
note:This function is not called if the SimObject::hidden is true.
