Activator Projectile check?

Post by Ravick »

Hi there.

So, I'm making a wall that must be hit by a special projectile (wich TID is 13763) to active a script. It should not work with any other projectile.

I've tried this*:

Code: Select all

If  ((SohUmaVezKCT3==true) && (ActivatorTID()==13763))
But it seems to not get the projectile's TID. Is there a way to a script to check wich projectile hit the wall that did call it?

Thanks in advance!

* That 'SohUmaVezKCT3' bool var is alread true when player gets there. I'm sure it is not the problem.

It could be that the engine is considering the shooter of the projectile as the activator. Try setting the [wiki=Map_definition#MissilesActivateImpactLines]MissilesActivateImpactLines[/wiki] flag in your map's definition.

Yes, it was the case. I've used Printbold to see áctivators for the script in different tests, and I could see that the MapSpot that is used to create the projectile via ACS was being considered the activator.

Thanks, Blue Shadow.
