Vehicle damage application problem

by Kimberly Unger · in Torque Game Engine · 03/08/2004 (5:45 pm) · 2 replies

Hi;

We are having a problem with inflicting damage on a vehicle that is also our player. When ever a projectile hits the vehicle (onCollision) we call the damage() function and get the error message in the log.

if (%col.getType() & $TypeMasks::ShapeBaseObjectType)
   {
       %col.damage(%obj,%col, %pos,%this.directDamage, "Missile");
   }

P51/server/scripts/rocketLauncher.cs (760): Unknown command damage.
Object (1580) FlyingVehicle -> Vehicle -> ShapeBase -> GameBase -> SceneObject -> NetObject -> SimObject


Can anyone tell me what the error message is trying to tell me and how to fix it?

Thanks

Basically that means that torque cannot find any function named CLASS::damage(), where class is one of the object classes that the error lists. what you need is to name your damage function; vehicle::damage() (Of course if you need different damage functionality between different vehicle classes you could name it FlyingVehicle::damage() or HoverVehicle::damage(), or any other classname for an object thats a member of the vehicle class)

Conversely, if you have a function named Vehicle::Damage() ensure that the file containing it does not have a syntax error in it, thus keeping the function from actually loading.
