[SOLVED]OnLaserHit/OnHitByLaser

[tatt61880]

Hi,

I've been trying to use OnLaserHit/OnHitByLaser, but neither seem to work. I used this code...

(e)=>{e.this.color = [0, 0, 0, 1]}

...in OnHitByLaser to change the target's colour, and it didn't do anything. I copied the script into the OnCollide text field and dropped an object on the target, and the colour changed fine! Does anyone know what's wrong? Is it a bug, or am I just missing something very obvious?

Thanks

I think it's supposed to be e.geom.color or e.laser.color instead of e.this.color, I haven't messed with laser scripting for a long time, so it might have changed since then

Thanks! e.geom.color worked perfectly, and e.laser.color changed the colour of the laser - handy to know. Again, thank you!

Now I've got another question... does anyone know how to measure a laser? I can't time it since it's instantaneous, and the only other way I can think of is scripting the laser to shorten bit by bit until you don't get an OnLaserHit... but that is a bit beyond me. Does anyone know another way?

I'm making a scene to do that, you need either a Kprobe style unit or another laser (im using another laser, i cant make probes proper to save my life) so i have one laser in my unit, which is taking the e.pos(0) and e.pos(1) of where it hits (which is a circle inside the unit infront of the laser) and a laser on the units outside fires at an object, then using some math you can work out the distance between the two objects.

hope that makes sense lol, i still dont know how to use the .math feature, so i'm not sure how im going to get the direct range yet, but i can get a co-ordinate output.

0.o Yikes... I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to do any of that, I think I'll just stick to my limited little ways...
