Help! Rocket ROTT

[ShagaDoom]

I managed to make the missile of one of the rocket launchers of the ROTT game. But I have a serious problem.

 

 

 

When the explosions meet elevations, other floor levels, the explosions are generated above them, even when the rocket is launched at another elevation level.

 

 

 

They also cross walls. In ROTT the remaining explosions were not generated, if they were blocked with walls, but the ones that had enough space were generated.

 

 

 

And this is exactly what I need done. Maybe I'm occupying the wrong properties. That's why I need the help of all of you.

 

Here he gives you the details:

Beforehand thank you very much!

I believe it's due to the very small hitbox and the NOCLIP flag, the explosion actor won't collide with anything basically an can almost spawn everywhere

You are very good at this! Precisely the noclip caused the explosions to go up the elevations. Thank you very much.

 

 

But still the problem of crossing walls persists. I tried different types of hitbox and it's still the same.

The code spawns explosions at some offsets from the normal explosions. If there is a free space at that offset, it will spawn there, no matter on hitbox size and no matter if there is something (wall) between the origin and the spawning destination.

 

Preventing this spawning behind wall is not easy. Don't know how to do that without ZScript.

The only way I can think of is to let the nearest explosions to spawn the other explosions and since you want them to be spawned at 30 units away from each other, give them a radius of at least 15.

 

So that if 1 explosion would be spawned in a wall, it won't be spawned and so the explosions that it should've been spawned also won't spawn.

Something like this to be more clear:

		RPGX B 0 A_Explode(50,150,1,0,30)

And so for the other 3 "PicaBoom" actors.

I know, tons of actors, but if you don't want to enter acs realms or something else, I think this is the best solution for that

A kind of bug occurs, even if it shows some improvement. I've been playing with variations and it's getting closer and closer to what I'm looking for, even though the main problem persists. Anyway, I know it's hard to fix but not impossible. Thanks for all the help!
