Oh, okay.

What was the current issue with it? It shouldn't be shooting skyward anymore.

EDIT: Okay, worked fine for me as the gun on the Air Raid plane (which is emit-sfxed when you press the fire button).

And no kdr, it was never fixed, despite my whining and bitching about it for years now.
Cannon (anything that didn't trigger another weapon)
Aka plasma.
Shoots a ballistic projectile. Unlike the DGun it aims properly. Can't be emit-sfxed properly, maybe a ballistic DGun can fill that role.
Yes, it does work...
And I only started emitting particle weapons after I tied the explosion weapons with 2048 which created an undesirable blob particle effect. It seems weapons with their own particles/lasers do not spawn the default blob particles, but are terrible for causing a impulse push.

The documentation I was going off of was get set cob page en Français and is probably 3+ years old so I was unaware of an explosion emit, which was what I needed in the first place. It is on the new cob documentation tho, but the rest of the set/ get are not?

btw bob, it sounds like you need to use "Impulsefactor"

As in impulsefactor = 0, << no impulse. You can fiddle with the value to get it where you want it.

"explosion" weapons are cannons (called plasma by TA). Anything without a weapon type (explicit or implicit) becomes a cannon.
