I'm making a cannon but I don't want to fire the bullets with magnets, and I want to add a 36 bullet limit

Would be great not to read the entire tutorial

[Chronos]

Just read it. It'll help you in the long run.

[mbartelsm]

I'll read it but in the mean time can anybody help me, I want to finish this soon

[mbartelsm]

never mind, but i have this and it doesn't create the tracers

Code: Select all

(e)=>{
    scene.addcircle({
        radius := 0.06;
        density := 12;
        pos := e.pos;
        color := [1.0, 0.9763333, 0.29000002, 1.0];
        drawcake := false;
        attraction := -10000;
        collideset := 64;
        onhitbylaser := ((e)=>{attraction = 0})
    });
    scene.addpen({
        size := 0.11;
        color := [0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.175];
        fadetime := 1.0
    });
    scene.addpen({
        size := 0.1;
        color := [1.0, 0.8333333, 0.0, 0.735];
        fadetime := 0.4
    });
    scene.addpen({
        size := 0.09;
        color := [0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.37];
        fadetime := 0.6
    });
    scene.addpen({
        size := 0.08;
        color := [0.8580386, 0.14300644, 0.0, 0.682];
        fadetime := 0.1
    })
}

I'm an idiot, i forgot the "pos := e.pos"

If you can't be bothered to put in any sort of effort why should we helps you.

@Chronos.
Don't just the Thyme tutorial card actually try and help.

[Nxdt]

Your not exactly helping either.
In the code you need to specify the position of the tracers. Use;

Code: Select all

pos := e.pos

For the nuber of bullets you need to create a varible.
eg;

Code: Select all

Scene.my.Bulletcount = 36

Type that into the console. (Press F11 to open it)

Then create an if statement where if scene.my.bulletcount = 0 then it won't fire.
This should be the completed code;

Code: Select all

    (e)=>{scene.my.bulletcount == 0 ? {} : {scene.addcircle({
            radius := 0.06;
            density := 12;
            pos := e.pos;
            color := [1.0, 0.9763333, 0.29000002, 1.0];
            drawcake := false;
            attraction := -10000;
            collideset := 64;
            onhitbylaser := ((e)=>{attraction = 0})
        });
        scene.addpen({
            pos := e.pos;
            size := 0.11;
            color := [0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.175];
            fadetime := 1.0
        });
        scene.addpen({
            pos := e.pos;
            size := 0.1;
            color := [1.0, 0.8333333, 0.0, 0.735];
            fadetime := 0.4
        });
        scene.addpen({
            pos := e.pos;
            size := 0.09;
            color := [0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.8580386, 0.37];
            fadetime := 0.6
        });
        scene.addpen({
            pos := e.pos;
            size := 0.08;
            color := [0.8580386, 0.14300644, 0.0, 0.682];
            fadetime := 0.1
        })}

Thank you, i just didn't know how to create the "if"

[Nxdt]

Okay, Does it work now?

If statements go like this,

{If}?{Then}:{Else}

> More than
< Less than
>= Equal to or More than
<= Equal to or less than
== Equal to
!= Not Equal to

You haven't put the {} around the statement.

[Mystery]

But for the sake of simplicity it is easier to teach them with the {} Not only that but it make your code easier to read and edit.

[Nxdt]

If people are inserting that into code then the curly brackets wouldn't be around the statement but around everything. People might assume that is right way to write the statement and mess up.
