Projectile

Base Class: SceneObject

Overview

Projectile is a special kind of object used, mainly, to check if something is hitted when a character weapon shoot. When it hits a surface of an object it sends a message to the hitted object, so, using script, you can code the response of the object to the hit. In other words projectile executes at every frame the RayPick operation during its travel.

Parameters

Speed	(float) Speed of the projectile.
Power	(float) Damaging power of the projectile when it hits an object.
defaultPS	(string) Default particle system prefab that has to be spawned when projectile hits a surface.
DefaultDecal	(string) Default decal prefab that has to be spawned when projectile hits a surface.
impactPSs	(string) List of particle system prefabs to spawn for every material archetype. See Material properties.
impactDecals	(string) List of decal prefabs to spawn for every material archetype. See Material properties.

Note

If an impactPS or an impactDecal is not specified for a given archetype material default contactPS and contactDecal of the hit material (See Material properties) are spawned if exist, if not defaultPS and DefaultDecal are spawned if exist.
