Make object loose HP on impact

[pixel_legolas]

I have a sword with a collision object around it called SwordTip.

I want to make a box have 100 HP and when I hit it with the SwordTip collision object makes it loose HP. Is it hard? Any snippets? I looked at network_character, exploadable, raygun etc but so much codes to patch together

PS. I managed to load a sword for the character by using

LoadObject sword.opr
ObjectName Sword
ObjectParent Bip01 Prop1

And also when I gave it a collsion object I have managed to make it so when the sword hits a physics box it actually moves it

I have no idea, hopefully someone else does. I am guessing it might go into the controller script for the sword in the following section?

//------------------------------------------------------------
//
//   void CollisionCallback( Object@ object, Object@ otherObject, ObjectCollide@ collide, ObjectCollide@ otherCollide, const Vector& in worldPos, const Vector& in normal)
//
//      Called whenever an object collides with another object.
//
//   Parameters:
//
//      object - The object that this controller is to act upon.
//      otherObject - the object that we have collided with
//      collide - the specific collision object that was hit
//      otherCollide - the specific collision object in the other object that was hit
//       worldPos - the specific location of the hit
//      normal - the normal of the hit itself
//
void CollisionCallback( Object@ object, Object@ otherObject, ObjectCollide@ collide, ObjectCollide@ otherCollide, const Vector& in worldPos, const Vector& in normal)
{
   
}

Heartcode example has this almost exactly.

Also shows how to have something only happen once when the buttons pushed.

Well imported the exploding barrel that has all of these things. But I can't get it to work with the sword. I have to hit the barrel with the character body to make it explode

The default weapons system has support for melee weapons.  Basically melee weapons are similar to projectile weapons, in that they do a raycast to see if/what the weapon hits.  For melee weapons, basically the raycast is much shorter, so the weapon only collides with something close to the player.

If you look at the SimpleFPS template (or add the SimpleWeaponPack as an object template to your project, you will find an example 'knife' weapon.

The magic line in the knife.opr file that differentiates it from a projectile weapon is this one:

ControllerSetting ShotMaxDistance 0.3

This basically defines the range of the melee weapon.

quite logical but haven't looked at it yet, will do
