That is a good question. I bet the answer is no. But the difference is the current function probably discards sub-zero computational results.

LOL I treid it, instead of them pushed back as usual when you have +impulse instead it flings them in the air and if its a beam weapon you can have a sort of sling shot XD

imb: A weapon with a very small arc that points directly downwards and set MAX_SPEED to 0 when it fires.

The answer is no because if it works at all, it would pull the enemy unit towards the collision point OR it will just flip directions.

kdr: thanks, tried several combinations of BOS/FBI/weapon TDF and one worked ^^ now off to add some magic Lua topping...

So.. What do I need to do to make it keep the turret in place?

I have turret=0 and all the aiming scripts set up and maxangle and main weapon set up, too! Why doesn't it work..?

Keep the turret in place? Just don't script any attacking animation. Make it only shoot at the front? Use WeaponMainDirX and MaxAngleDiffX.

Turret=0 is meant for airplanes, don't use it for other stuff.

Ahhhh, much clearer, now.

Thanks a lot.

HELL YEAH! The factory works! Units and everthing, not a slight problem!

Okay, quite a weird problem...

15000 worker time, and 2 build time, and it takes it about 1 minute to build

Did you set INBUILDSTANCE to 1?

Yeah, sure did

Oh well, if it works with the other buildings I could care less.

Also 15000WT on 2 BT will cause a huge resource usage.

Well, its 300 metal and 1 energy.... I really have no idea what is going on right now...


But, my factory has 100 workertime or so, builds a tank that cost 200 metal, and has a buildtime of 1000... And it works fine, roughly builds one every ~20 seconds (10 second error margin, I forgot the exact number).

Yes but the smallest increment Spring can build is 1/32 of the Workertime, for 16000 workertime that would be 500. If a unit costs 5 metal and has a BT of 1 while being built by something with a WT of 16000 the player ends up paying 2500 metal.

That's why I know its screwed up...

I was talkin to Chris and I said "There is no way in hell it should be taking more than 1/1000th of a second or so!" and, I can't find a fix...

Do you have the resources? I know I had such buildtimes when I didn't set INBUILDSTANCE to 1 and the builder kept adding some "idle value" to the construction (probably used to avoid decay even when stalling).

Resources? metal and energy?

Of course, its one of the first things you can build, so I dunno...

If you wanna see scripts/fbi, I can drop em off in a PM...

Do you have ~250 times the cost of the unit in your storage?

250 times? Nope.

Is there any way to make a transport load units up at a specific part or parts?
