Cloning objects on the fly?
Author
Hello everyone. Well, once again I have encountered a problem. I am creating a small subhunt clone, and I am having trouble with firing multiple depth charges, namely that I don''t know to make them work. So far, the part of the main game loop that relates to this ship looks something like this:
if(Spacebar is down) // fire the torpedo
{
// set position of the depth charge to that of the ship
Set_Position (ship_pos_x and ship_pos_y);
// set the downward velocity
velocity = 4;
}
if (Space was pressed)
{
Draw_Depth_Charge ();
}
With the code like this, I can only fire one depth charge. How could I make it so that if space has been pressed more than once, It will draw another depth charge? I know the answer is probably rather simple, but I am rather high on jellybeans, and my brain is not functioning correctly. Thanks, your "wannabe" friend.
You might do something like this:
struct weapon { float x, y, z; BOOL active; // note set all active to FALSE } depth_charge [ 25 ];int dch_count = 0;// a globalif ( Space Bar is Down ) { Set_Position( ship_position_x ,ship_position_y ); // of depth_charge [ dch_count ].x, // depth_charge [ dch_count ].y velocity = 4; depth_charge [ dch_cnt ].active = TRUE; if ( dch_count++ > 24 ) dch_count = 24; }// end ifIf ( Space was pressed ){ // loop through the active depth charges drawing the // active ones for ( int count = 0 ; count < 25 ; count++ ) { if ( depth_charge [ count ].active == TRUE ) Draw_Depth_Charge( depth_charge [ count ].x, depth_charge [ count ].y ); }// end for count}// end for Space
I sent you an E-MAIL, not sure if you got it.
It went:
Sorry to hear it did''nt work for you.
I can''t do much without seeing the code.
I assume you where adjusting the view matrix for
each missle drawn. But I don''t know how your code
was laid out ? I used similar code for multiple pixel
explosion algorithms.
Can you E-MAIL it me ?
