[warped garden]

Hey. I am making a shotgun but the scattering is very hard for me. could you guys help me?

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

I have now a scattering of 2 blocks high

I want like 4 blocks weigh and 3 blocks high

[glossy vapor]

!c shoot

[wintry egret]

Command: Shoot

Group

entity

Syntax

shoot [<entity>|...] (origin:<entity>/<location>) (destination:<location>) (height:<#.#>) (speed:<#.#>) (script:<name>) (def:<element>|...) (shooter:<entity>) (spread:<#.#>) (lead:<location>) (no_rotate)

Short Description

Shoots an entity through the air, useful for things like firing arrows.

Description

Shoots an entity through the air up to a certain height, optionally triggering a script on impact with a target.

The launch has three modes: arc, lead, and direct.

The "arc" mode calculates a launch arc to exactly hit the target location.
If you want to use this, specify the "height" argument as how high the arc should go, in blocks.
Do not specify "speed" or "lead".
You can optionally specify a custom "gravity" (hidden from syntax line intentionally) if you know what you're doing and really n...

(just pulling this for myself)

well, first things off, why are you inputting two origins?

second, your current scatter is hardcoded - guns do not work like this in real life
and even in other games with hardcoded scatters, may i draw a parallel of counter strike's recoil patterns, the pattern is not symmetrical, as yours

third, your current scatter is doing the red - doing the green would be more intuitive imo

so mostly design choice questions; once we get through this i'll help you get to what you envision

How Would u do the 2nd one

[little latch]

what i would do is make a beam, and just repeat it a few times with the second point having a random_offset

!t random_offset

[wintry egret]

Tag: <LocationTag.random_offset[<limit>]>

Returns a copy of this location, with the X/Y/Z offset by a random decimal value up to a given limit.
The limit can either be an X,Y,Z location vector like [3,1,3] or a single value like [3] (which is equivalent to [3,3,3]).
For example, for a location at 0,100,0, ".random_offset[1,2,3]" can return any decimal location within the cuboid from -1,98,-3 to 1,102,3.

should look like that

How can I make a beam

[prime sparrow]

Check out the forums for some examples of particle beams. You should find what you need in the Wands post. 👍 https://forum.denizenscript.com/resources/

[glossy vapor]

daxz meant a beam with .points_between

!t points_between

[wintry egret]

Cannot Specify Searched Tag

Multiple possible tags: <LocationTag.points_between[<location>]>, <LocationTag.points_between[<location>].distance[<#.#>]>.

[prime sparrow]

Yes that is exactly the example I pointed him towards.

[glossy vapor]

easier to just link the tag :>
