Hi again,
When I kill an obstacle their "parts" are throw away in the same direction he is facing (I'm using the tosser & tosserAnim script):
C++: 
void tosser(void Bomb, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{ // Tossing bomb with desired speed
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   void candamage  = getentityproperty(self, "candamage");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   void Shot;

   if (Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?               
      dx = -dx; //Reverse X direction to match facing
   }

   Shot = projectile(Bomb, x+dx, z+dz, y+dy, Direction, 0, 1, 0);
   tossentity(Shot, Vy, Vx, Vz);
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "speed", Vx);
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "owner", self);
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "candamage", candamage);
}

void tosserAnim(void Bomb, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz, char next_anim)
{ // Tossing special bomb with speed control and same remap
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   void candamage  = getentityproperty(self, "candamage");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   void Shot;

   if (Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?
      dx = -dx; //Reverse X direction to match facing
   }
 
   Shot = projectile(Bomb, x+dx, z+dz, y+dy, Direction, 0, 1, 0);
   tossentity(Shot, Vy, Vx, Vz);
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "animation", openborconstant(next_anim));
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "speed", Vx);
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "owner", self);
   changeentityproperty(Shot, "candamage", candamage);
}

I think the issue is when the obstacle dies (and fall) he always face the same direction while falling, no matters if the hit comes from left or right:

It's suppose that tires spawned by "tosserAnim" and "tosser" must fall in the opposite direction from the obstacle impact.

The Tires falling code:
Code: 
anim    fall
    loop    0
    delay    1
    offset    22 51
    fshadow    3
    @cmd    tosser "Debris_burning_tires" 0 9 0 0.44 2.5 0
    @cmd    tosserAnim "Debris_burning_tires" 0 20 0 0.48 3 0 "ANI_FOLLOW1"
    @cmd    tosserAnim "Debris_burning_tires" 0 29 0 0.52 3.5 0 "ANI_FOLLOW2"
    @cmd    tosserAnim "Debris_burning_tires" 0 38 0 0.56 4 0 "ANI_FOLLOW3"
    @cmd    spawn01 "Debris_burning_tires_flame" -8 52 1
    @cmd    spawn01 "Debris_burning_tires_flame" 9 48 1
    @cmd    spawn01 "Debris_burning_tires_flame" 10 60 0
    frame    data/chars/obstacles/tires/fall.gif
    frame    data/chars/obstacles/tires/fall.gif
    frame    data/chars/obstacles/tires/fall.gif

It's possible to get the obstacle falling direction (or change the obstacle direction to face the player just at falling)?

Thanks :D .

Did you check this one yet?

O Ilusionista

Thread 'Pain for obstacles + facing'

This is a code to force obstacles to execute different custom animations when taking hit plus based on which side the hit comes from.

== ANIMATIONS ==
  • IDLE
  • FOLLOW1 (for facing right)
  • FOLLOW2 (for facing left)

For memory sake, we need to use two files - one is just to import the second, to avoid the code to be compiled again each time you add on a new entity.

1 - Save both files under your scripts folder as:

• facingpain.c
Code: 
#import "data/scripts/facingpain_actual.c"

void main()
{
    actual_main();
}

• facingpain_actual.c
Code: 
//...

Commonly I flip obstacles in the takedamage event but in certain situations I use this dirFlip script, which works based on the current velocity direction in X axis:

Code: 
void dirFlip()
{//FLIP ENTITY BASED ON THE "XDIR" VALUE
    void self    = getlocalvar("self");
    int xDir    = getentityproperty(self,"xdir");
    int dir        = 1;

    if(xDir > 0){dir = 0;}
    changeentityproperty(self, "direction", dir);
}

This way you will first change the main obstacle entity direction according to his flying direction and then the debris will follow the same.
Code: 
anim    fall
    loop    0
    delay    1
    offset    22 51
    fshadow    3
    @cmd    dirFlip
    @cmd    tosser "Debris_burning_tires" 0 9 0 0.44 2.5 0
    @cmd    tosserAnim "Debris_burning_tires" 0 20 0 0.48 3 0 "ANI_FOLLOW1"
    @cmd    tosserAnim "Debris_burning_tires" 0 29 0 0.52 3.5 0 "ANI_FOLLOW2"
    @cmd    tosserAnim "Debris_burning_tires" 0 38 0 0.56 4 0 "ANI_FOLLOW3"
    @cmd    spawn01 "Debris_burning_tires_flame" -8 52 1
    @cmd    spawn01 "Debris_burning_tires_flame" 9 48 1
    @cmd    spawn01 "Debris_burning_tires_flame" 10 60 0
