Is it possible to use DamageActor only with actor pointers?

[FranckyFox2468]

Simple question really, i am simply wondering if it is possible to use DamageActor without the use of any TIDs and simple use actor pointers. Cause the wiki page is not exactly clear on that information.

For instance a projectile runs a script that uses damageactor, makes its target (which is the projectile launcher by default) the inflictor and the tracer the target.

Assuming the projectile is the activator of the script, pass 0 as both tids. Both of the pointer fields now relate to the projectile:

• Victim (what the function calls "target"):
  • AAPTR_DEFAULT: projectile damages itself.
  • AAPTR_TARGET/TRACER/MASTER: projectile damages its target/tracer/master.
• Inflictor:
  • AAPTR_DEFAULT: projectile is the inflictor.
  • AAPTR_TARGET/TRACER/MASTER: projectile's target/tracer/master is the inflictor.

So based on that, you function call should be like this:

Code: Select all

DamageActor(0, AAPTR_TRACER, 0, AAPTR_TARGET, ...);

Ah alright, thanks. That really clears things up.
