GENERATOR

Creates copies of a specified template object at a given rate. Class: Generator.oad
  • Activation Mailbox When this Mailbox is activated (value==1) the Generator is active and begins producing objects. If the value of this Mailbox =0 then it ceases to generate objects.
  • Object To Throw This is the object that is created by the Generator
  • Generation Rate This value determines the interval between creation of objects.
  • Object X Velocity When an object is created it’s initial X velocity is determined by this value
  • Object Y Velocity When an object is created it’s initial Y velocity is determined by this value
  • Object Z Velocity When an object is created it’s initial X velocity is determined by this value
Example The Devious Designer has created a grenade thrower that will lob bombs at Playman. The player will be able to dodge the bombs, but he wants it to be tough, so they'll be pumped out at 2 per second.
    • Activation Mailbox The Mailbox will always be set to one, so the Devious Designer points this at mailbox 1.
    • Object To Throw The object that is being thrown is a Grenade.
    • Generation Rate .05 will give the Designer the two bombs per second that he wants.
    • Object X,Y,Z Velocity In order for this to have a nice arc the Designer will have to check the objects Movement | Mass values, and set these accordingly.
