track projectiles

[FrOzEnTaCo]

i would like if someone could make this. it could be to track projectiles from moving or stationary weapons and units like artillery shells or nuclear missiles. and it would be cool to keep the camera over the explosion for a few secs to see the awesomeness :D

Q: What Lua cannot do (yet)?

A: You cannot ...

* changing projectiles, nor detect their positions.

you could however mimick it using the data from the weapondef, would hardly be reliable though.

Possibly highly cpu intensive? I mean, not that anyone would want to track say EMG fire from PeeWees, but even moderately fast firing / spammed projectile weapons...

i think this would be more for tracking nukes, something you could do in OTA

Eh? What kind of info could you get/use regarding nukes in OTA, or are you referring to the big X that shows up on the minimap?

Using T on a nuke launcher or LRPC would make the camera follow the projectiles.
