Picked up a medikit that you REALLY need!

Code: Select all
//Map scopes outside of the script so we can access and modify it anywhere else in the currently imported library, use arrays if you want it to be used by multiple actors and give each their own variables.
int ActorTID; //TID of actor
int ActorVel; //Velocity of actor
script "util_uniquetargtid" (void) //Execute only once so it doesn't continue changing it
{
ActorTID = UniqueTID(); //Choose a unique TID that isn't used by other actors
SetActivator (0, AAPTR_TARGET); //Set the activator to be the target
Thing_ChangeTID(0, ActorTID); //Assign the unique TID to the activator, which is currently the target
}
script "util_checktargvel" (void)
{
ActorVel = GetActorVelX(ActorTID); //Check velocity of our activator / target
}
Apparently yes, but possibility of that strongly depends on kind of pointers relation. One of the best deco info transferring link proveds by AAPTR_MASTER + A_GiveToChildren.4page wrote:Is there a way in Decorate to access another Actor's properties using Pointers? Like if I wanted to find out an actor's X velocity, could I find that out using pointers, or is that something that can only be done from that specific actor's Decorate code?
You don't need to give it a TID. For the most part, passing 0 as the TID in ACS scripts uses the actor that called the function.LOZ_98 wrote:I don't know if it can be done using only DECORATE but a quick and dirty way I used to do this was using both DECORATE and ACS scripts and setting its activator to the pointer I want, giving it a UniqueTID and using GetActorVelX/Y/Z to get velocity for that TID... ...Then you can do other actions based on the ActorVel variable (new scripts that check the variable, modifying existing scripts....etc)
