Shooting bug?

The shooting effect does not work (most of the angles are wrong)

[Jeff]

Did you try it under the HWA beta?

I had an issue in the normal version trying to use decimal angles -- they don't work like that in the normal version (I think)

[Jarzka]

It's normal MMF2 build 248.

[Jeff]

So I would suspect the angles not using the decimals.

[Jarzka]

No.

I used Dir( "Active" )* 11 instead of Dir( "Active" )* 11.25 and it doesn't work.

One of the muzzle blasts works but others don't.

It's a bug, and nothing to do with decimals.
Creating the red lines relative to the other objects is messing things up somehow.

When you create the red lines, make their position absolute - ie. not relative to the other objects. If you need 4 lines, you must have 4 "create object" actions. Then, immediately after, set their position. This fixes the problem.

eg.)

1) Every Second
* create line object at 0,0
* create line object at 0,0
* create line object at 0,0
* set line position to 0,0 from diamond object
* set line angle to diamond angle

2)...

Unfortunately, it won't help you a lot, as you'll still need to use a fastloop because the number of red lines you need to create won't stay the same.

[Jarzka]

Hmm, I'll try it and let's see what happens

Anyway I think Clickteam could fix this...
