Shooting

[SergeLo00001]

i made an actor shoot a gun and i got everything done and working except for that i can only clik on the guy to shoot the bullet. Could someone help me with this. I think you have to use filled wired region or something like that. Thanks ahead.

You need to have another actor to receive the clicks. Either make an invisible actor that follows the mouse (like in the 1945 demo), use a background actor (abuse demo) or use a filled region that is parented to the view. Now thee are two things you can do: right click on the actor, say add activation event, mouse button down, and chose your player actor. The other thing is to add a mousebutton down event, script editor, and say

Code: Select all

SendActivationEvent("Player");

where Player is the name of your actor. On your player actor, add an event activation event, and put your script for shooting.

ok, thanks. But what if i made an image in the size ofwhere i want the player to be allowed to shoot in(i called it shootingrange). So if i clik on it the player shoots and all, but what do i do to make it now appear in game mode, becaues when i make it have a parent of the player or the view it's z depth changes to same as its parent so it is always showing up. Is there anything i can do?

On create actor, set

Code: Select all

VisibilityState("Event Actor", DONT_DRAW_ONLY;

or use the Visibility State action with don't draw, but allow events.
