Shooting Metadata #16

Closed raymoo closed 5 years ago

raymoo commented 8 years ago

Only really useful with #15. This would give firing another parameter which gets passed to the hit callback if the shot hits.

I am not sure I understand this one, can you give an example use-case?

raymoo commented 8 years ago

You could make a gun that pushes people in the direction of your choice. One way to select the direction could be to press a direction key while firing. You could store the direction in the metadata and then move the target when they get hit.

There have been other issues for "adding" velocity to the player, as opposed to setting absolute velocity (minetest/minetest#2394). I never even gave an implementation though, you could fit the description I gave by attaching the target to an entity and moving the entity in the desired direction (and probably removing it at some point). Though a pushing API would be nice.

With ccf1b02b525116604af7380c3d0395726f2f26f5 it is possible to also include arbitrary gun spec values which will be included the spec table passed to on_hit along with the direction in which the bullet was travelling in. The latter should be useful for knock-back effects, etc.

Please open a new issue if this is not what you meant.
