Code: When a Bullet is made, it flys until it collides with a Player or wall.
obj
    Bullets
        icon = 'Effects.dmi'
        name = "Bullet"
        New()
            ..()
            for(src)
                spawn(1)
                    step(src,src.dir)
                continue
        Bump(turf)
            del src
        Bump(mob/Player/M)
            if(M != usr)
                usr.score += 1
                del src


Problem description: The bullets only move when another is created and they go through Turf and Players.

I know its pretty shoddy, but its hand-made.

1. It doesn't bump. Reason? It doesn't havd density. (How can, let's say a shadow, bump?)
2. What the hell did you do to that New() proc.

1. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But now it crashs because it thinks the Turf is a mob.
2. I made it, what else?

Sigh
obj
    Bullets
        icon = 'Effects.dmi'
        name = "Bullet"
        New()
            ..()
            walk(src,src.dir) // It has no dir at default, really! :(
        Bump(a)
            if(ismob(a)
               var/mob/M=a
               if(M != usr)
                  usr.score += 1
                  del src
             else del src

Well, actually I haven't showed you the Shooting code... that has the direction in. And this topic is now useless, I'm using a system I found for bullets, and it works. Its bigger, but it works.

Nice try anyway, and I gave bullets my very first self-made attempt.

A few problems:

  • No put usr in proc. Ungh.
  • The bullet's New() proc needs to be passed two vars: its location and the shooter. From the shooter it needs to pick up its direction, and to set an owner var to use in Bump() so you know whose score to increase--because usr is wrong there.
  • You're merely overriding Bump() twice. There's no such thing as making one version for turfs, another for mobs. BYOND is not a strongly typed language, so it's going to go with the last version of Bump() you defined. Since M can be a turf, obj, or mob then, anything your projectile touches will give you a point.

Wrong. Until you get rid of the things Lummox mentioned (such as the usr abuse) then it will never be solved.

Solved was the only word I could find.


Its finished. Done by self.
