Making projectiles bounce of walls

[Galdiuz]

I'm making a projectile system, and now I want projectiles to bounce of walls (Similar to the hook in Pudge Wars). How do I create this?

 

[bLu3_eYeS]

I think it checks if hook entred there and it stops it then creates a dummy at position of stopped hook and orders the dummy to hook th angle you want . I am not 100% sure

Yah, but the problem is how I'm supposed to get the angle.

Sorry for double post, but i solved it

 

[HydraRancher]

How did you solve it?

You could create a point at the change in cliff level and from there, create 4 more points surrounding it in a plus sign shape and checking their cliff levels.

Edit: grats

Can you share it to me?

I also had that problem

:thup:

@Conal: I did that first, but it made my projectiles only bounce in 90 degrees turns, so I used another way, which i will explain below.

First, I made regions at all cliffs, and then named them Wall+Direction(N,S,W,E)+Number (Ex. Wall E1). Then in my projectile system I made a trigger that works like this:

First check if the projectile is in a wall region (Atemp_aloc), and if true, check which direction the wall is facing. Then, take this fomula:
[Opposite direction of the wall] + ([Direction of the wall] - [Facing of projectile])
If the wall facing east, this would be (180.00 + (0.00 - (Facing of Atemp_unit))). I hope this explains things to you. :thup:

That's comlicated, I'm sure there was an easier way.

 

[xXGauntletXx]

Shouldnt the

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of Atemp_unit) for (Owner of Atemp_unit) at Atemp_aloc facing (0.00 + (180.00 - (Facing of Atemp_unit))) degrees

line instead read:

Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of Atemp_unit) for (Owner of Atemp_unit) at Atemp_aloc facing (180.00 - (Facing of Atemp_unit)) degrees

? Why bother having that 0 in there?

It is for "Editability"/ easy C n P that kind of stuff.
