Need help resolving Triple Hit Issue

Roderic

I'm making a shooter type game. The shooter can hit one or more targets with every shot. I want to be able to track when the shooter has hit 3 or more targets with one straight shot and I'm stuck. I set up an attribute as the counter.

I can get the count of each hit, but sometimes after hitting one or two targets, it ricochets off something and then hits another target by accident. I don't want to count that one. I only want to count the ones that are hit on the initial shot, straight out, not targets on the rebound.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You could use a boolean that registers when it ricochets off something.

So, if that happens, ricochet = true

Then, when the bullet hits a target have a rule that says 'if richochet = false AND you hit the target, count as 'proper shots'.

Every time you shoot, change ricochet to false.

That might work - give it a go!

Thanks QS, let me give that a shot.
