Projectile Components

Code locations (what's this?):

• Cosmoteer.Bullets.BulletComponent
• Cosmoteer.Bullets.BulletComponentRules
• Cosmoteer.Bullets.IBulletComponent

These components are made only for projectiles (typically shot from weapons), not for parts you can build.

For more details, click on the component's name.

Components and inheritance

Name	Category	Short description (click a component for more details)	Code Reference (what's this?)	Inherits from
BoxPhysics	🧲Projectile physics	Makes the projectile's collision shape a rectangle. Used by missiles.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Physics.BulletBoxPhysics	BulletPhysics
CirclePhysics	🧲Projectile physics	Makes the projectile's collision shape a circle. Used by bullets and mines.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Physics.BulletCirclePhysics	BulletPhysics
Physics	🧲Projectile physics	Parent class for managing the physics of a projectile. Not used by beams.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Physics.BulletPhysics	-
Acceleration	🧲Projectile physics	Moves the projectile in a direction, more over time.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Physics.BulletAcceleration	BulletComponent
TargetHoming	🧲Projectile physics	Causes the attached bullet to rotate towards its target.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Physics.BulletTargetHoming	BulletComponent
DeathByLifetime	💀Projectile death	Destroys the projectile after some time. Can presumably be used as a trigger without destroying it.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Death.BulletDeathByLifetime	BaseBulletDeath
DeathByEnemyProximity	💀Projectile death	Destroys the projectile near enemies. Can transform it. Can be used as a trigger without destroying it.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Death.BulletDeathByEnemyProximity	BaseBulletDeath
SpawnBullets	🎯Hit effect	Spawns projectiles.	Cosmoteer.Simulation.HitEffects.SpawnBulletsEffectRules	HitEffectRules
BulletSimpleHitRules	💥Hit rules	What happens when the projectile hits.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Hits.BulletSimpleHitRules	BulletComponentRules
BulletPenetratingHitRules	💥Hit rules	What happens when the projectile hits. This one can penetrate parts.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Hits.BulletPenetratingHitRules	BulletComponentRules
AnimatedSprite	🎨Visuals	Renders an animated sprite on the projectile. It makes it visible by having visuals.	Cosmoteer.Bullets.Graphics.BulletAnimatedSpriteRules	BulletComponentRules

Miscellaneous

These are not components, but you may still want to know about them to use projectile components.

FrameOfReference

An internal enum at Cosmoteer.Bullets.BulletFrameOfReference. Inherits nothing. Possibles values :

1. Grid : "The frame of reference will be the background grid, i.e. zero velocity."
2. Inherit : "The frame of reference should be the frame of reference of the object that spawned the bullet. If the spawner object is a ship, the frame of reference will be the ship's velocity."
3. Bullet : "The frame of reference should be the bullet's current velocity."
4. HitObject : "The frame of reference should be the hit object's velocity at the time of impact."

Hit

Hit : an internal class at Cosmoteer.Bullets.Hits, for when projectiles hit things, or even nothing.

Notes

• Projectiles can only have 1 Physics component. Choose one between BoxPhysics and CirclePhysics .
• The ion beam is not a real projectile : ion_beam.rules is referenced by the BeamEmitter part component in ion_beam_emitter.rules to fetch the values it needs to work with this code :

  BeamEmitter : <./Data/shots/ion_beam/ion_beam.rules>
  {
  	Type = BeamEmitter
  	//...
  }
