LolTargeting

[Forboding Angel]

Look guys, it's about time something was done about this. The sillyness that is spring targeting is to the point of causing real problems. With the lack of suggesting anything better, I suggest adding a tag allowing us to specify aimpoints in the model.

I'm sure there is a better way, but please devs, give us some sort of alternative.

Edit: in case anyone missed the memo, the default behavior would only be overridden if the tag existed.

Edit2: I guess what I am asking for is per-piece targetting

a tag allowing us to specify aimpoints in the model.

units target unit center (set in upspring)
if you move it down, it should fix at least this model.
Maybe there are models where it does not work but this isnt one I think.

Yeah, flozi pointed out the same thing and it works perfectly, but I think it's time to start discussing this, don't you?

I suggest adding a tag

Code: Select all

modelCenterOffset = udTable.GetFloat3("modelCenterOffset", ZeroVector);

I suggest you reevaluate your suggestion.

Quick post before I go to bed, I seem to recall trying that tag recently and it not working. I'll take a look again when I can.

edit: Seems to be working correctly

even if it did work, many things calculate based on hitsphere.. so just moving the sphere can undesired ramifications.

I suggest you reevaluate your reevaluation

But as smoth said, bad side effects.

A tag for Forb's problem would be great. It is already possible to do in upspring.

Here is the line of fire problem:

LLT on the left is allied to the factory in the middle. It cannot shoot the LLT on the right because the avoid friendly check uses the hitsphere.
