sysCreateWeaponFire questions

[Betelgeuse]

sysCreateWeaponFire returns an object. Is that object the shot it creates?

If you use an itmStruct in the first argument will it use the itmStructs item data for the various events that are called because of that shot?

[george moromisato]

Yes to the first question: the object returned is the shot created (though there is not much you can do with it other than get/set its velocity, position, etc.)

No to the second question: Unfortunately, you cannot pass an itemStruct in the first arg. [But it is a good idea for a new feature.]

[Betelgeuse]

can shots store data with the objData functions? If so we can do a workaround saving the itmStruct on the shot and have the events that need the data from a shot that could come from sysCreateWeaponFire check for that.

Does it give a list if syscreateweaponsfire is used with a spread, dual, or repeating weapon?

Can onHit be given shot access so that kinetic weapons can be made to do damage based on relative velocity?

[digdug]

syscreateweaponsfire do not generate any configuration, so a dual weapon do only a single shot

the object returned is the shot created (though there is not much you can do with it other than get/set its velocity, position, etc.)

woah! so we can emulate our own tracking weapons and/or do some effects like bend laser beams
