Recoil?

[Hece]

Is there any way to make recoil whitout ACS?

A_Recoil?

I'd recommend the ACS method though because it's much more flexible.

Only if you don't know what you're doing. :V

Okay it still involves ACS but I'm pretty sure A_SetPitch will be able to be predicted easier by Zandornum soooo.

A_SetPitch is not even on Zandronum. It's kind of unclear what he asks for, really. You can use SetActorPitch for the pitch one or what Dark-Assassin said for the kickback.

By "flexible" I mean you can give your recoil its own function and do stuff like I did and make it so players can scale or toggle it based on their prefrences. :V

A_Recoil?

A_Recoil (force * cos(pitch))
Because the current one does not account for pitch. At all.

A_Recoil?

A_Recoil (force * cos(pitch))
Because the current one does not account for pitch. At all.

...That'll send people backwards or forward depending on whether they're looking up or down.

[Ijon Tichy]

no, cos starts at 1, so it works
cos(45°) == sqrt(2) // == -0.125 pitch
cos(-45°) == sqrt(2) // == 0.125 pitch

[XutaWoo]

Oh, okay.

...you'd still want to use an ACS script or wait for A_ChangeVelocity, because it doesn't make sense to have three-dimensional recoil that only affects the player on the two-dimensional plane.

I also use ThrustThingZ with 8x the force and with sin(pitch) instead of cos(pitch).
