New page

When the command [[shoot]] is used for RPG it doesn't work correcly, because the actor RPG is hard-coded.

If you already have used it, probably you have got problems, and you report or not it.

Now, let's explain a little about:

RPG shot by player RPG weapon: sizeat 14 14, strength 140~
RPG shot by player Devastator weapon: sizeat 7 7, strength 140/4~, no SMALLSMOKE trail, spawn small EXPLOSION2
RPG shot by Commander and any other actor: sizeat 30 30, strength 140/4~
RPG shot by Overlord: sizeat 42 42, strength 140~
RPG shot by Cycloid Emperor: sizeat 24 24, strength 140~, no SMALLSMOKE trail
<b>Notes:</b>

[[strength]] in case become the projectile damage, original Duke projectiles aren't like the ones from [[defineprojectile]] command.

Devastator strength is not set by actor DEVISTATORBLAST FREEZETHROWER_WEAPON_STRENGTH as you can see in GAME.CON, it is RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH (defined in USER.CON) divided by 4.

So, what you need to do is:

* If you want to one actor shoot the Commander rocket (that isn't the RPG from player) just use default [b]shoot RPG[/b].

* If you want to one actor shoot the player RPG:
onevent EVENT_GAME
ifactor RPG
ifspawnedby MYACTOR
sizeat 14 14
endevent

onevent EVENT_EGS
ifactor RPG
ifspawnedby MYACTOR
{
addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH
addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH
addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH
}
endevent
Note: Addstrength used to opposite the default RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH/4. Change the [[sizeat]] if you want the Overlord like rocket - nothing can be done about Cycloid Emperor rocket, because you cannot kill the SMALLSMOKE trail with sizeat)

* If you want one some actor shoot Devastators:
onevent EVENT_GAME
ifactor RPG
ifspawnedby MYACTOR
sizeat 7 7
endevent
Note: If sizeat is set to 7 7, automatically kill the SMALLSMOKE trail and EXPLOSION2 become small.
