This function returns the target of the specified projectile.
Syntax
element getProjectileTarget ( projectile theProjectile )
OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
- Method: projectile:getTarget(...)
- Variable: .target
Required Arguments
- theProjectile: The projectile element which target you want to retrieve.
Returns
Returns the element which is the projectile's target if the projectile is valid and can have a target (like a heat-seeking rocket), false otherwise.
If the projectile is a satchel charge, returns the element at which it is glued to (or nil if it isn't glued to any).
Example
This example allows a player to send projectiles at other players.
function projectileCreating(command,targetPlayer)
local x,y,z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer()) -- Get the position of the player
local target = getPlayerFromName(targetPlayer) or nil -- Get the target, or set it to nil if no target specified
local theProjectile = createProjectile(getLocalPlayer(),20,x,y,z+50,1.0,target)
if (target) then
outputChatBox("Created projectile's target: "..getPlayerName(getProjectileTarget(theProjectile)))
else
outputChatBox("Created projectile with no target")
end
end
addCommandHandler("rocket",projectileCreating) -- Bind the 'rocket' command to projectileCreating function
