When the [[shoot]] primitive is used for the RPG, it might not work as you expect, because the RPG is hard-coded. If you already have tried it in your code, you probably have gotten these errors and may have reported them to no avail. Now, let's explain a little about the RPG specifics: Player's RPG: sizeat 14 14, strength 140~ Devastator: sizeat 7 7, strength 140/4~, no SMALLSMOKE trail, spawn small EXPLOSION2 Fat Commander's RPG (default): sizeat 30 30, strength 140/4~ Overlord's RPG: sizeat 42 42, strength 140~ Cycloid Emperor's RPG: sizeat 24 24, strength 140~, no SMALLSMOKE trail '''Notes:''' :In EVENT_GAME and EVENT_EGS, setting the [[strength]] of hard-coded projectiles will change their damage amount, not their own hitpoint amount. :The Devastator's strength is not set by this block of code: actor RPG RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH enda actor FREEZEBLAST FREEZETHROWER_WEAPON_STRENGTH enda '''actor DEVISTATORBLAST FREEZETHROWER_WEAPON_STRENGTH enda''' actor COOLEXPLOSION1 COOL_EXPLOSION_STRENGTH enda actor TRIPBOMB TRIPBOMB_STRENGTH enda :Instead, it is RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH (defined in USER.CON) divided by 4. DEVISTATORBLAST's tilenum is the second frame of FREEZEBLAST's full tile set, so there is no purpose for this actor. If you want your actor to shoot the Fat Commander's rocket (not the RPG shot by the player), then just use the default code: <code>shoot RPG</code>. However, if you want your actor to shoot the RPGs shot by the player, Overlord, or Cycloid Emperor, or the Devastator, then put this code into your CONs: gamevar tilenum 0 0 gamevar picnum 0 2 gamevar spriteid 0 2 gamevar x 0 2 onevent EVENT_GAME getactor[THISACTOR].picnum tilenum switch tilenum case RPG ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the Devastator>''' sizeat 7 7 ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the player's RPG>''' sizeat 14 14 ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the Overlord's RPG>''' sizeat 42 42 ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the Cycloid Emperor's RPG>''' sizeat 24 24 break endswitch endevent onevent EVENT_EGS getactor[THISACTOR].picnum tilenum switch tilenum case RPG ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the player's RPG>''' { addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH } ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the Overlord's RPG>''' { addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH } ifspawnedby '''<the name of the actor to fire the Cycloid Emperor's RPG>''' { addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH addstrength RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH } break case SMALLSMOKE getactor[THISACTOR].owner spriteid getactor[spriteid].picnum picnum ifvare picnum RPG { getactor[spriteid].xrepeat x ifvare x 24 killit } break endswitch endevent '''Note:''' Addstrength is used to do the inverse of the default division of RPG_WEAPON_STRENGTH by 4. '''Note 2:''' If the RPG's [[sizeat|size]] is set to 7x7, then the game will automatically kill the SMALLSMOKE trail and the EXPLOSION2 actor will become small. [[Category: Tutorials]]
