Bullet Code?

[Abion47]

Try this in the OnAction function of the map script:

Code: (Select All)

void OnAction(int alAction, bool abPressed)
{
    if (alAction == eAction_Interact && abPressed)
    {
        // Check to see if player is holding a gun object. This value
        // would be updated when the player picks up, draws, or
        // holsters the gun in the corresponding callbacks for those events
        if (mbHoldingGun)
        {
            // "Fire" a bullet in the direction the player is looking with a max range of mfGunRange
            cLuxClosestEntityData pData;
            if (cLux_GetClosestEntity(mpCamera.GetPosition(), mpCamera.GetForward(), mfGunRange, 0, true, pData))
            {
                tString sEntityName = pData.mpEntity.GetName();
                
                // Handle gunshot on entity with the name stored in sEntityName
            }
        }
    }
}

Rather than fire an actual object (i.e. my previous suggestion), this should simplify the solution by just doing a simple ray trace to see which entity would be in the way of the gun.
