Again With the Projectile Questons...

[Sett]

OK I'm Designing a proj. that will only 'Destroy()' when it hits a wall.

ie. it will hit/kill many players/bots

my problem is the vector var.s HitLocation and HitNormal

the Sub -function ProcessTouch (Actor Other, vector HitLocation)
has HitLocation

while Sub - function HitWall( vector HitNormal, actor Wall )
has HitNormal

The problem- Sub -function explode- needs both
I've tryed temp var... and Explode(HitNormal,HitNormal);

And also what HitLocation and HitNormal actually do?

Is there any coded proj. that has the same behavior, that I could
view?

Okay, to my knowledge:

HitLocation is a vector that gives the exact point in space of the hit, just like a location vector;

HitNormal is actualy used more as rotator(hitnormal), to determin the rotation of the location hit, usualy for spawning effects that are flat on the wall, such as decals.

from decoration>dripgenerator>drip2

function Landed( vector HitNormal )
	{
		HitWall(HitNormal, None);	
	}

	simulated function HitWall (vector HitNormal, actor Wall) 
	{
		Destroy();
	}

Im sure there are also plenty of projectiles using a similar format. Also look at the projectile class.

You can use

Normal(HitLocation - Other.Location)

to find an approximate HitNormal in ProcessTouch() or you can just pass in vect(0,0,0).
