Disable Vehicle following

[Xwad]

Hi i want to disable the heatseeking on weapon 36. I mean disable that the projectile cant follow the vehicle. I have a script but it dosent work.

  
-- this would stop projectile from being created if it wants to target someone 
function disableHeatSeek() 
   if getProjectileTarget(source) then 
      cancelEvent() 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientProjectileCreation",root,disableHeatSeek)

addEventHandler ( "onClientProjectileCreation", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( getProjectileType ( source ) == 20 ) then 
            destroyElement ( source ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

Put it on client side.

addEventHandler ( "onClientProjectileCreation", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( getProjectileType ( source ) == 20 ) then 
            destroyElement ( source ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

Put it on client side.

If youre going to destroy a rocket it will actually explode, possibly killing the player firing it. I'd change the dimension first.

Thanks but i have a porblem. When i shoot the car and its not targeted (green) then i can shoot but when targeted (red) then the projectile is blowing up in front of me.

Well, didn't know that. If so, use that

addEventHandler ( "onClientProjectileCreation", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( getProjectileType ( source ) == 20 ) then 
            setElementDimension ( source, math.random ( 2, 999 ) ) 
            destroyElement ( source ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

[Xwad]

its not working:/ it is blowing in front of me again

[WhoAmI]

I have no idea how to do that, sorry.

[Xwad]

addEventHandler("onClientProjectileCreation", root, 
function() 
    if getProjectileType(source) == 20 and getProjectileTarget(source) then 
        setElementPosition(source, 0, 0, -2000) 
        destroyElement(source) 
    end 
end)

I made the same thing and just cancelled the explosion event

But it had issues because the explosion was not cancelled for other players AND the new created missile was not synced with other clients, so I had a serious sync issue. I did not continue developing this since then due to lack of time but I will continue soon.
