Bullet impact sparks on ground, interriors, etc. HELP NEEDED

#1 Well it wouldn't call it to the engine, it would call it to the server... I would say that you would need to have the server find out where it hit, and have it exec the function on the bullet.

#2 Ron Nelson has this code, he sent it to me, see if he'll send it to you.

#3 Thanks, been messing with it a bit and got it to work but I'm not sure if the code is the best, I'm not really much of a coder but here's what I pieced together:
To add different "sparks/explosions" for the bullet impacting on each surface, after of course having the explosions defined/written in my FX Pack scripts I made functions in my rifle.cs for each impact that I needed, terrains, interiors, etc., once again I don't know if this is the best way but it works:

if (%col.getType() & $TypeMasks::TerrainObjectType)
{
%explosion = new Explosion()
{
dataBlock = "BulletDirtExplosion";
sourceObject = %this.sourceObject;
sourceSlot = %this.sourceSlot;
client = %this.client;
position = %pos;

};
MissionCleanup.add(%explosion);

}


if (%col.getType() & $TypeMasks::InteriorObjectType)
{
%explosion = new Explosion()
{
dataBlock = "galilExplosion2";
sourceObject = %this.sourceObject;
sourceSlot = %this.sourceSlot;
client = %this.client;
position = %pos;

};
MissionCleanup.add(%explosion);
}


With BulletDirtExplosion and galilExplosion2 being my different bullet "sparks" written elsewhere. I don't know if there is a better way or not to do this so please let me know if anyone knows if this way is clean or not

#4 Well my other game team members probably won't be real happy with me sharing it, but you know what? I am the only programmer and SDK owner on the team so I am gonna do it anyway.

Here is a resource I just released for it.

Chris you amy want to look at it as well, I added some extra stuff to it and made some improvements since I shared what I had done with you.

Somebody is gonna owe me a beer for this.

#5 Awesome! Thanks

#6 Haha thanks Ron, I just need to get it working with TGEA.

#7 Well I am working on that Chris, just trying to get my Sytem setup for TGEA now since you have setup a bunch of other stuff just to get the basic crap to compile.
