C coding question?

I have a coding question..
Im in the projectile.cc script.
I want an effect to occur only to the player's bullets not eveyone
else's. I have got this effect to work but I occurs every time a bullet is fired
from any player or bot.
I found a function called isControlObject() in the player.cc script that may be the one I need , but how can I acess it in the projectile script?
I'm still learning with scripting so any help would be great!

Sounds like a simple binary (true/false) applied to that player instance to me. But I wouldn't know because I'm lost in where or how to code anything in TGE. Oh well...

I'm sure you'll figure it out in time. :)

somehow reference the player camera,big waste of time.
Instead I used the getUpdatePriority() function which checks if the one who shot the round is the camera.
Worked like a charm.

I worked it out... I was doing it in the onAdd() function, and I thought I could somehow reference the player camera,big waste of time.

That works... I'd have done it in packUpdate. Since packUpdate has the GameConnection it can easily tell who the player is and make determinations there.

Or just have the packUpdate pack a flag if the server is packing it to the owning player... Then the player doesn't have to know anything.
