Help with LineTrace

[Viper]

Is there a way to get the line number from a trace to further change or get the line's information?

Code: Select all • Expand view

FLineTraceData RemoteRay;
LineTrace(angle, 64, pitch, offsetz: height-12, data: RemoteRay);

  if (RemoteRay.HitType == TRACE_HitWall)
  {
      ACS_NamedExecute("ScriptName",0,RemoteRay.HitLine.<lineID>);
  }

<lineID> = ???

Thanks in advance..

Just going through the variables that are defined in the line struct...

RemoteRay.HitLine.Index() return the correct value?

It executes, but I get no printable result.

I'm going to have to use a different method anyways, but I was very happy to get an answer so quick.

Thanks.

This example doesn't work, am I missing something? #define etc?

it's missing the autoactivate part..

Code: Select all • Expand view

   Default
   {
      +INVENTORY.AUTOACTIVATE;
   }


It now works once, when given, then ceases working, no matter how many times you give it to yourself (commands)..

not impressed with zscript

A bad example in the wiki does not mean ZScript is bad. The reason you can't get it to work again is because the item never gets removed from your inventory, so something that executes only when you get it won't ever execute again. That should be easily fixable by simply changing "Fail" to "Stop".

When I typed that example I just assumed the user would "use" it from the console. I've added the invbar stuff to it.

The better solution if you want it to do this immediately on pickup is to change "Use:" to "Pickup:".

(An even better one is to put the script in the actor you're actually using it for, of course...)
