Thrust player in the direction an actor is facing?

Code: Select all

actor SlantedSpringboard 3501
{
//$Category PlatformingTools
//$Title SlantedSpringboard
//$Angled
//$Sprite BBOUA0
	Radius 20
	Height 5
	Scale 1
	+NoGravity
	States
	{
	Spawn:
	  BBOU A 0
	  TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 0, "blue")
	  TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 1, "yellow")
	  TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 2, "red")
	Blue:
	  BBOU A 1 A_CheckProximity("bluebounce","playerpawn",30,1,CPXF_ANCESTOR)
	  loop
	BlueBounce:
	  BBOU A 1 A_ChangeVelocity(15,0,18,CVF_REPLACE|CVF_RELATIVE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)
	  BBOU A 0 A_SetAngle(angle,SPF_INTERPOLATE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)
	  goto Blue
	Yellow:
	  YBOU A 1 A_CheckProximity("yellowbounce","playerpawn",30,1,CPXF_ANCESTOR)
	  loop
	YellowBounce:
	  BBOU A 1 A_ChangeVelocity(23,0,28,CVF_REPLACE|CVF_RELATIVE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)
	  BBOU A 0 A_SetAngle(angle,SPF_INTERPOLATE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)
	  goto Yellow
	Red:
	  RBOU A 1 A_CheckProximity("redbounce","playerpawn",30,1,CPXF_ANCESTOR)
	  loop
	RedBounce:
	  RBOU A 1 A_ChangeVelocity(30,0,35,CVF_REPLACE|CVF_RELATIVE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)
	  RBOU A 0 A_SetAngle(angle,SPF_INTERPOLATE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)
	  goto Red
	}
}

So far I technically have it working, only problem is that it only works if I snap the players movement to match the actor, since A_ChangeVelocity is relative and I can't use the springboard's angle for it as far as I know.

I tried using ThrustThing, but it can't use pointers to effect the player, is there any way for me to do this? I assume there is, i'm just kinda stumped.

You could replace the CVF_RELATIVE flag with some trigonometry functions, like so:
A_ChangeVelocity(15*cos(angle),15*sin(angle),18,CVF_REPLACE,AAPTR_PLAYER1)

I've figured it out quite a while ago, I simply assigned a tag to the player and made it thrust them based on the angle of the actor.
