Tank Laser script

[mold999]

im building a tank, and as its main cannon it has a laser. how can i script the laser so that when it hits another object, that object's attraction goes to -1000?

thanks in advance

What have you tried doing?

[mold999]

im trying to use e.geom.attraction = -1000, but it still wont work. also, this is another slightly less important part, can i get the laser to have a timer, so it comes in bursts instead of a long stream?


thanks

Your script actually works. Are you sure you're putting it in the right box?
About the bursts, I can think of doing it with a mechanical cover wherein it just lets the laser through at an interval, but with scripts, I don't really know. It's possible though.

thanks, you really helped

[mold999]

is there a way to make the ground unaffected by the laser? I hit it, and my tank blew to pieces

Don't double post and smiley spam please.

Anyway, you can turn off the collision between the plane and the laser, or you can use a variable check.
