Hi cute people.
I'm trying to make a gun fall to the floor without using physics. This code is activated when the gun holder dies:

Code:

---

			vec_set(temp, my.x);
			temp.z -= 900; // trace downwards 500 quants below
			c_trace (my,temp,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_YOU); 
			my.push=0;
			my.passable=off; 
			while(vec_dist(me,target)>5)
			{
				c_move(me,nullvector,vector(0,0,-7*time),ignore_you|ignore_sprites);
				if(my.roll<90)||(my.roll>180){my.roll+=10*time;} // rolls while falling
				wait(1);
			} 

---

But the gun simply rolls 90º, and THEN falls to the floor. It looks very dumb.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

your vec_dist looks wrong. You need to be more specific with the pointers. target is not a pointer, it's just a 3 dimensional vector, so it doesn't need the .x.

vec_dist(my.x, target);

Also, don't use target, as it changes every frame. Store target in a local var[3] before the while loop, and then check with that.

Final code:
Code:

---

var targ[3];
vec_set(temp, my.x);
temp.z -= 900; // trace downwards 500 quants below
c_trace (my.x, temp, IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_YOU); 
my.push = 0;
my.passable=off; 
while(vec_dist(my.x, targ) > 5)
{
	c_move(my, nullvector, vector(0,0,-7*time_step),ignore_you|ignore_sprites);
	if (my.roll<90)||(my.roll>180){my.roll+=10*time;} // rolls while falling
	wait(1);
}

Thanks for the clean-up.
Actually, the problem was that I had put two overlapped guns in the same spot, by accidentaly duplicating a part of the code.
Thanks anyway.
