Rockets being deflected by the laser

[tZork]

Missiles that have health, so they can be shot (based on current SVN code):

greneade secondary (primary dont have health, fixme?) 10 hp
electro secondary: 5 hp
rockets: 30 hp

again you cannot shot your own missiles with direct hit weapons (sg, mg, nex).

Do we know the hp of other projectiles? I tried launching mortars and shooting them with the nex, but I wasn't able to get them to explode.

rockets: 30 (i remembered that one incorrectly, but collision with any other projectile will still trigger a touch event and therefore detonate the rocket)
electro (secondary): 5
mortar (secondary): 10

All other projectiles have 0hp and will either explode if they take any damage or can't be damaged. But only rockets have a volume, so other projectiles can't be hit, they can only take splash damage.

I've tried shooting the nex at the electro balls and it doesn't do anything.

[Sepelio]

You can shoot the electro balls with the blaster to detonate them. I'm fairly sure you can detonate grenades with rockets too.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

A direct laser hit is usually too powerful, it makes the rocket explode. Me, Rad Ished and FruitieX have been playing around in slowmo and high speed - low damage lasers, deflecting rockets by hitting walls when they come close to them... It was lots of fun... All my attempts at deflecting a rocket with a direct laser hit made it explode.

It's not the damage that causes the rocket to explode (laser does 35 damage, but a rocket has 50hp), it's the touch event triggered when the laser projectile hits the rocket...

Oh right, the touch function!

Should've thought about this :/
