| Summary | 0001868: Vlaunch rockets that are emitted upon ground attack do not get the aiming from the unit | ||||
| Description | They just fly up, and come down randomly. If you force attack an enemy unit they work as advertised, but if you force attack ground, the emitted rockets just fly around and come back down (usually on the unit that fired it, or somewhere close by). | ||||

Sooooo, this ever gonna get some lovin? |
|
|
testcase? |
|
|
Oh yeah I guess that would help... Durr, my bad. If you load up evo and build the hover missle arty you can see it happen. /give 1 emissiletank |
|
|
This is broken again :-( Missile gets emitted, but if the target was a force attack on the ground, the missile just circles around and hits the unit that emitted it. |
|
|
What does this mean? Do you emitsfx missiles and if so why? I cannot reproduce with ZK StarburstLauncher weapons. |
|

I emit them so that I can have delayed launch times easily instead of having 2 weapons and doing silly chaining. The upshot is that the script is much cleaner, but the caveat is that with starburst missiles, if you force attack on the ground, the emitted missile just sorta does it's own thing instead of heading towards the spot where the attack command was given. This also happens if the weapon is fired (plus the emit) and the target goes out of los and radar range. The emitted missile will go do something strange and the regular weapon will hit the ground where the attack order is shown (because the attack order is moved to the ground if the unit is no longer in radar range or los. Here is the script so you can see what is being done: https://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/source/browse/trunk/evolutiondev.sdd/Scripts/emissiletank.bos |

Arugh, I'm am so sorry. I tested again and it works properly. However, it is possible to break the behavior. Issue an attack on ground, then right after the weapon is emitted hit esc or stop and it will do the screwup thing. |
|
|
I wasn't aware that was suppose to work. If you emit with a unit as the unit's target does it home? |
|
|
Yep, it's pretty cool, and renders the need for fancy script stuff to delay the other launch, obsolete. The other neat thing is, if you have say a starburst launcher with like 32 ports (which evo did at one time), that need to be delayed on launching, you can do it all with emits and have homing and stuff like that at a much lower script cost. Of course with one unit... who cares, but imagine you have 50 of these guys at one time. It's a little bit of an impact and I figure that every little bit helps *shrug*, plus, it's just plain easier to script ;p |

"I tested again and it works properly." ok |
