[SOLVED]Spawn circle that has inherited variables

[HQTG1]

I couldn't figure out how to word the title any better, but here's what I'm trying to do: I have a laser that spawns a circle on the point that it hits, for use in an engine. I need to have the circle inherit the velocity of the object that the laser is attached to, because the speed of the engine is severely limited by this (Lets say I have a car traveling at 15 m/s, but it can't go any faster because it has to accelerate the circles being spawned in the engine up to that speed.) I know this is really easy using scene variables, but I would prefer not to use them because it makes having multiple cylinders a massive hassle.

Just add set vel (and angvel if needed) of circles:

In onLaserHit:

Code: Select all

(e) => {
  scene.addCirclre({
    pos := e.pos;
    vel := e.geom.vel;
    angvel := e.geom.angvel;
    ...
  })
}

First, before creating the object, get an instance of the object the laser is attached to:

base := scene.entitybygeomid((readable(owner)).geom);

then simply call its vel

scene.addCircle({
...
vel := base.vel
...
})
