LRMs (and other missile) Behaviour
Posted: 01 Apr 2013, 19:04
Bosh.
Weapondefs to change for make Missiles behave differently when :things: happen.
Long Range Missiles (LRM)
#1) Normal Behaviour
Normal firing behaviour when shooting at stuff within radar range with no external influences whatsoever.
accuracy = 2000,
sprayangle = 5000,
weaponVelocity = 800,
#2) Enhanced Guidance via TAG/Narc (aka xLRM)
When target is being affected/hit by a Narc Beacon or TAG Laser.
accuracy = 50,
sprayangle = 50,
weaponVelocity = 1000,
#3) Disrupted Guidance via ECM or out-of-range/radar off (aka xxLRM)
When target is outside of radar range (or the Mech's radar is off), or within the bubble of an enemy ECM source.
accuracy = 5000,
sprayangle = 8000,
weaponVelocity = 750,
Order of Override should be #2>#3>#1, since TAG will work regardless of ECM, and ECM will destroy a Narc Beacon anyway.
Advanced Tactical Missile (ATM)
#1) Normal Behaviour
Normal firing behaviour when shooting at stuff with no external influences whatsoever.
accuracy = 500,
sprayangle = 1000,
weaponVelocity = 1000,
#2) Disrupted Guidance via ECM (aka xATM)
When target is protected by an enemy ECM bubble.
accuracy = 2000,
sprayangle = 3000,
weaponVelocity = 800,
Only these two modes.
STREAK Short Range Missile (SSRM)
#1) Normal Behaviour
Normal firing behaviour when shooting at stuff with no external influences whatsoever.
accuracy = 100,
sprayangle = 0,
#2) Disrupted Guidance via ECM (aka xSSRM)
When target is protected by an enemy ECM bubble.
accuracy = 2000,
sprayangle = 8000,
Again, only two modes.
Arrow IV Artillery Missile
No difference in behaviour, only what it can shoot at; Arrow IV requires a target be designed by either Narc Beacon or TAG Laser in order to fire at and track it. It can still be used as a dumb-fire tactical missile, but will not track a target unless it is designated.
Short Range Missile
No behavioural differences; it's a semi-homing short range "scattershot" missile that is barely guided as it is.
Medium Range Missile
Totally unguided, therefore it is also unaffected by external influences.
