Guns

Basically I was thinking of making a gun which would shoot anyone immeadiately in the users line of fire up to a certain distance (7 or so tiles).

I was wondering how I would do this, and eventually thought of using get_step_to(usr,mob,7) but I am not to sure how to manipulate this to work.

youd have to write a loop that got the get_step of the turfs in front of you

Could you perhaps tell me more? Elaborate a bit?

mob/proc/Line()
    var/turf/T=src.loc
    for(var/i=0,i<7,i++)
        T=get_step(T,src.dir)
        for(var/mob/M in T) src.Shoot(M)

I see, I see... So I'd use the for proc to make the program keep tracking down forward through the turfs until I find a mob?

well that one would keep going down the line even if it hit somebody
mob/proc/Line()
    var/turf/T=src.loc
    for(var/i=0,i<7,i++)
        T=get_step(T,src.dir)
        for(var/mob/M in T)
            src.Shoot(M);return


something like that to stop after hitting a target

I would recommends using hub://shadowdarke.pixelprojectiles

You can use procs like step_to, but the results won't be that realistic.

I see what you mean, and I know how to work it, but it's not what I was looking for. Thanks anyway.
