Pos (Position) Scripting

[acerjojo12]

I was working on a roket that comes out of an AA turret. But when the rokets spown the all come at pos := [-0.50000000, 5.2500000]; I want them to fallow the turrent and not spawn at the starting point after the turret is gone and left. Here is my code for give its extreem longness

So can anyone help me?


(Edit, Thanks for your posts, but I want the spown location to fallow the moving turret. I want to somehow have the spown cords to change as the cords of the turret do. Is there some code for that?)

[monstertje3]

pos := [-0.50000000, 5.2500000];
quoted from your script, you should alter this (into something like pos:= e.pos;)

Oh, and could you try to type regular english, really helps.

It looks like you used the copy-paste method for spawning. You could try to learn some Thyme to write a spawn script from scratch, or try to make the rocket on the place you want, and then use the copy-paste method. To give the rocket velocity you can change the variable (vel := [10,0] for example).

The older (pre-v2.0) code scene.my.pos = e.pos will work--just keep in mind that you have to update it every step/frame; the best way to do this is with an alternating collider or with a laser.

Just for some context, e.pos is a relatively powerful command, and as its name suggests, gives you the position ('pos") of an event ("e").

I think there is a new way to read the position as of v2.0, but I still need to do my homework on the new additions to thyme.
