| Summary | 0005045: allow gunship strafe do change direction or limit to a certain angle | ||||
| Description | gunships will strafe in 360° angles around their target when strafing, which often exposes them to more aa fire than necessary. while not strafing at all makes them easier to hit. a simple "change strafe direction" movectrl command would allow lua coders to implement strafing within a restricted angle or leashing bevhaviour. | ||||

|
|
forgot that gunships randomly change direction while strafing already. so a way to read the current strafe direction would also be necessary, or a notification of this event. |

most recent of the {0002693, 0002955, 0003178, 0004518} requests, will probably be looked at as one group |
|
|
Why not implement unitdef tags? This very much falls within that scope. |
|
|
unitdef tags are very hard coded while here it seems like finer tuning may be required (angle of strafing, distance) not to mention you may want to change it while the game is running |
