Question regarding laser scripting

[Vytas]

Hi. I'm looking for a way when a laser hits an object I can retrieve the information of the laser for example the fade distance etc. I can't figure it out for myself so I hope u guys have a solution for me.

e.laser.followed by whatever else is in the script menu of the laser.

Thank you

[Vytas]

Well I have one question remaining. Is there a way to get an reference too the laser object when the laser hits nothing. for example an object collides with another object and this way it activates the laser

[standardtoaster]

Somewhat, yes.
Make a variable:

Code: Select all

scene.my.rays = 0

In the maxrays part of the laser script menu put:

Code: Select all

{scene.my.rays}

In the onCollide of the objects put:

Code: Select all

scene.my.rays = 1000
//or any value higher than 0

[Vytas]

Ok that's all thank you.

I have a problem with the script I made.

scene.my.laser1 controls how much rays my laser has got and that works. But I want it to switch on and off each time it collides with an object. So i made this:

Code: Select all

(e) => {scene.my.laser1 = 1 ? {scene.my.laser1 = 0} : {scene.my.laser1 = 1}} // this doesn't work
(e) => {true ? {scene.my.laser1 = 1} : {scene.my.laser1 = 0}} //this will activate the laser but not put it off with an other collide ofcourse.


Do u know what the problem is?

[Sniperkasa]

Yup

Code: Select all

    (e) => {scene.my.laser1 == 1 ? {scene.my.laser1 = 0} : {scene.my.laser1 = 1}} // this works.

Ah I see what I did wrong I used the wrong operator.

`Yup, remember to use ==, not =..
= is when you declare an variable
