Turrets

Here is my Project:

Working on Turret at the Moment.

Works fine if only one.

The problems come with many...

It is obvious to me that the problem is that i don't use instance variables.

But i can't figure out how to use them on this one.

Edit:

What would happen when there are more than one target for the Turret? Would it F*** up?

Replace "Every tick" with "For each 'turret'"

Hm.. Now it is only one turrent that fires arrows at a time. The others Don't

Instead of "every 1 seconds" use a instance variable for a cooldown time between shots.

Here is an example of multiple turrets and multiple targets:

In the example the turrets target the closest player within range. I didn't work it out but it could be modified so that only the first object in range will be targeted until it is out of range.

that is exactly what i needed ! Thanks ! <img src="smileys/smiley41.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

But it is supposed to become a multiplayer game. By using Delta-time won't one players Turrets Shoot faster than the other depending on the Frame Rate? Or is the Game alone defining the framerate?

Nope, using Delta-Time makes it frame rate independent.

Can someone help me modify Rojo example so that the arc does not go over angle 270-90 (half a circle basically). I've been trying to do it by trial and error but its just not working out. I would like it so that the turret will only fire and detect within angles 270-90, if another player instance is in angles 91-269 it will ignore it. I've also tried the turret behavior but it doesn't seem to work when you enter in 180 into the arc field, so I need to do this manually using events.

Thanks

RockmanZero here you go

Many thanks Podpathos, can't believe it was so simple, seems I was going about it the wrong way with groups and the between angles event.
