Hi there,
ive got a question and i dont know for what i should search so i will post my problem now.

I´ve got a Tower. It´s a lasergun who is static implented in a station. If a entity comes nearer the lasergun should rotate to the enemy if he´s friendly the lasergun only follows, if he is unfriendly it should begin to fire...

AT the moment i´m scanning that with these command lines:

Code:

---

action geschuetzturm
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(vec_dist(my.x, menu_patroule.x) < 200) //is that a good solution?
		{
			// What here?
		}
	wait(1);
	}
}

---

I hope you can help me!

greetings!

ADD:

I´m using bones to animate the lasergun. I want to rotate the main on the tower and all of its children!

Also ich glaube schon.
jetzt musst du halt in diesen bereich alles scripten was der geschützturm überhaupt machen soll.

ob er den spieler attackieren soll oder etwas ganz ganz anderes machen soll.
Lies dir dazu einfach die AUMs 55,56,57 durch.

can't help you with the follow-only-bad-guy part, cause I don't know what your bad guy is, but I have some code for a tower rotating towards a player:

Code:

---

action geschuetzturm
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(vec_dist(my.x, menu_patroule.x) < 200) //is that a good solution?
		{
			vec_diff(temp,menu_patroule.x,my.x);
			vec_to_angle(temp,temp);
			my.pan += ang(temp.pan - my.pan)*0.1*time_step;
		}
	wait(1);
	}
}

try that...
