Code: Select all

native final void BounceWall(float overbounce, float bouncefactor);


I understand what the second parameter is, but what is the first one ? I would like to make

Why can't I just do

Code: Select all

AmmoUse1 = 10

, put it in a custom DECORATE method and execute it on spawn or pickup ? I get "illegal identifier AmmoUse1" error. I also tried "Weapon.AmmoUse1 = 10".

Okay, thanks to your help, Firebrand, I managed to make Hammer of Retribution use 25 mana (8 shots instead of 5) on lowest skill level. Now what may be a math question:

[code]
95 if (CanSee(link))
96 {
97 float angl

[Firebrand]

The 256 division is to adjust the giant values to something more of an angle, if you make the calculations, it will give you the angles that are being considered on that check.

As for the colon, it means that you are using a value that is defined inside
