Growing things :D And "If" thyme

[Somtaaw Kith]

Hey i need some help. I'd like to make missile, i mean when it's hit it's spawning small circle which is growing. From (for ex.) size= 0.25 to size= 10 and then when it reach size=10 ist disappeared (for ex. by density= 0).


Also i'd like to know something about thyme "If". I have found something like this
"scene.my.x > 10 ? scene.my.y : scene.my.z" and this "onhutbylaser(e)=>{scene.my.x=scene.my.x + 1 ? ...}"
about second i know that is laser hits scene.my.x is growing but when i try to thyme after "?" for ex. {density=0} ist correct it to "scene.my.x=scene.my.x + 1 (?)({density=0}) ???






please explain simple rule of thumb, and soon you will see automatic flying machine of doom

Not sure of what to do exactly, but the only way of making circles "grow",
is to spawn a circle, delete that, and respawn a bigger one...


as for if scripts,

condition ? {TRUE} : {FALSE}

i got about IF... but about growing i saw scene where you fly airplane and shoot missiles when its hit its makeing BOOM effect and "sonic wave" (circle) is growing

Following code define a function for creating fading away growing tracers:

Code: Select all

Scene.my.addSmoke := (sPos, sSize, sColor, sTime)=>{geval("scene.addCircle({geomID := 13; pos := " + sPos + "; radius := .1; color := [0,0,0,0]; drawCake := false; collideSet := 0; drawBorder := false; density := {sim.time > " + sim.time + "+" + sTime + " ? 0 : 0.005}}); scene.addPen({pos := " + sPos + "; fadeTime := 0; color := {" + sColor + " - [0,0,0," + sColor(3) + "*(sim.time - " + sim.time + ")/" + sTime + "]}; zdepth = 4;  geom=13; size := {2+" + sSize + " * (sim.time - " + sim.time + ")/" + sTime + "}}) ")};

adjust zdepth, density or add vel as you wish...

Holy S**t nice... now i must understand what have u wrote :D

Aha. one question more.. how 2 make that missile will change angle of shot i mean missile will respawn with angle for ex. 180 and when i turn missile launcher to difffrent position it will spawn with angle of laucher.. :D
