Projectiles

Did I read somewhere that the Projectile code is broken?? I thought I read that somewhere now I can't seem to find it.

Implementation of specific projectiles got ripped out. Look at class Projectile, defined in engine/game/projectile.h and projectile.cc. You'll need to subclass Projectile to implement your bullets, mortars, and baseballs.

Does that mean that some specific projectiles were not ripped out ? If so, has anyone found which ones ?

No, they are all ripped out. The base projectile class that remains is not used by the T2 scripts, and I don't think instances of it can be used. Rather, you need to derive other classes from it, but I do not know exactly what those classes need to implement in order to be usable. I tried this and had trouble, so I moved my test class to be a child of ShapeBase instead, because the it would have sibling classes (such as Player) that I could mimic. I am not sure right now what the difference is between Projectile and ShapeBase in terms of what they are used for and what functionality their children can inherit.

Anyone know when the projectile system is scheduled to come out?
