Custom RocketLauncher Code

Important: Through a bad implementation of the Rocket Launcher and Bots it doesn't matter what ProjectileType you have set in your modified Projectiles. The bots will always spawn a regular RocketProjectile or SeekingRocketProjectile!

This is the code for that:

class myRocketLauncher extends RocketLauncher config(user);
 
function Projectile SpawnProjectile(Vector Start, Rotator Dir)
{
local RocketProj Rocket;
local SeekingRocketProj SeekingRocket;
local bot B;
 
bBreakLock = true;
 
// decide if bot should be locked on
B = Bot(Instigator.Controller);
if ( (B != None) && (B.Skill > 2 + 5 * FRand()) && (FRand() < 0.6)
&& (B.Target == B.Enemy) && (VSize(B.Enemy.Location - B.Pawn.Location) > 2000 + 2000 * FRand())
&& (Level.TimeSeconds - B.LastSeenTime < 0.4) && (Level.TimeSeconds - B.AcquireTime > 1.5) )
{
bLockedOn = true;
SeekTarget = B.Enemy;
}
 
if (bLockedOn && SeekTarget != None)
{
SeekingRocket = Spawn(class'SeekingRocketProj',,, Start, Dir);
SeekingRocket.Seeking = SeekTarget;
if ( B != None )
{
//log("LOCKED");
bLockedOn = false;
SeekTarget = None;
}
return SeekingRocket;
}
else
{
Rocket = Spawn(class'MyRocketProj',,, Start, Dir); // !! MODIFIED CODE
return Rocket;
}
}
 
defaultproperties
{
}

Discussion

Wormbo: OK, this is clearly not useful. ;) To whoever created this page: Please replace it with a standard class page. If you need an example, look at Pickup.

Bullet: I felt free to remove it although I didn't create it :)

darQ: Should work now, just add your own Projectile Class, posted by sploreg @ http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366804&highlight=RocketProj :)

SuperApe: I agree this page was in need of a real class page. Who would like to suggest a new home for the above custom code?

OlympusMons: Dunno how useful this custom code is, personally Id just remove it. Since that may cause some hastles it might be worth creating a custom class page called MyRocketLauncher then link it from here in the related topics.

SuperApe: Or perhaps give it a unique name and page (descriptive). The code above was just recently modified by darQ, perhaps it could go to a subpage of his personal page. (I'm not touching it)

Graphik: The owner should please move it to a personal page.

OlympusMons: Just so happens Im working with this class myself for a mod, I'll see if I can come up with some kind of work around to the problem above but it'll probably contain a Projectile subclass as well. Hmm dunno what this will do for compatability but the custom class is probably a good idea for people to extend from.
