Catapult Script

Hi there,

I'm very new to the scripting world, I'm more of ajust a simple builder, but got very bored one day and built a catapult, but have no clue where to start scripting something like that.

If anyone has a script or could tell me a script, or whenre I could buy one even, that would be great!

thanks in advance

Well, I've seen several catapults that work without scripts at all. Only physics. Depending on your design, it might be enough to just enable physics on the catapult arm.

hmm alright, but any idea how I would make it so it would fire and launch objects/ppl lol

Well, you could drop a massive physical object on one side of the arm. Another possibility would be to use physics functions. llPushObject would likely be useful, both for movement of parts of the catapult itself and for whoever is launcher from the catapult an extra push.

cool I'll deffinatly keep that in mind when I build my trebuchet thanks

but for now just need a regular catapult scrript lol

I successfully built an uber gigantic trebuchet or multi physical object catapult. If you don't know and don't want to know a lot of scripting, but can make catapult shapes, you might try the Domino script in the Domino object in your inventory library.

You can try my Extreme Skydiving Launch Platform on the corner of the Big Crater in LostFurest dAlliez. It only launches avatars UP, and with plenty of warning...

Don't forget a parachute.

Oh, I put it for sale in my skyhook station. If you're parachuting down you can land on the runway and walk in. No source, yet, I'm not sure I want to encourage people to tinker with it. I hadda relog a few times during the development when I threw myself against the walls of the sim and stuff.
