To transport rotation? Not to piece rotation?
And why a FBI tag? This should be the default. Transported units have no reason to follow translation only and not rotation.

Why isnt melee possible?

Ok, say we have a short range laser. This can be used to fake a melee attack. Combine it with a timed animation and you get interesting results. However there are issues.
- 1:
line fire works great because it can go exactly at the target of the melee attack without extending past the unit. This has issues
- 1a: the units in spring fire at the edge of their max range so sometimes the unit will not hit but swing right outside of range.
2:
to target a unit the unit does not use the outersphere as a target instead the unit needs to hit center. This means two things will happen..
- 2a: if the unit is mobile it will just move once bumped and never actually stop to get hit because the attacker is pushing to the center of the target which results in an anoying chase.
2b: If the unit is stationary (I.E. a building) the melee attacker will stand there right on it's target without ever attacking(because it will not be able to reach center with it's range).
2c: The melee unit cannot attack anything with a hitsphere center that has distance that is beyond the attacker's melee weapon range...

Can someone give me a muzzle flame tutorial?
I tried to do it by looking at all of Smoth's stuff, but it didn't work, even though I made sure everything I had was lined up
Edit: Fixed

Do you know about the resources.tdf in /gamedata folder of your mod? All the textures need to be in there.

Yup, I got it, and some recent help, it works :D
I won't show pics, I don't care to release much info bout mah mod.
Now then, another quite serious question...
Modding is fun as hell after you learn all of the shit and the workarounds, huh!?
I got a ton of SFX in today, and it looks hawt!

Can you make a map with a hardness of -100 or 0?
Posted: 06 May 2007, 10:10
by Ishach
You can make maps with negative hardness and it means explosions create hills rather than craters.

Code: Select all
[arty_rocket]
{
Name=Rocket Artillry - 120 MM;
//Misfits
Ballistic=1;
Model=Rocket1.s3o;
turret=1;
RenderType=1;
//Sounds
SoundHit=IMPACT6;
SoundStart=SHOT02;
areaofeffect=300;
StartVelocity=50;
WeaponAcceleration=10;
WeaponVelocity=1000;
//Firing and Bursting Settings
tolerance=100;
Range=4000;
ReloadTime=30;
//Missile and Torpedo Weapon Settings
edgeeffectiveness=.5;
SelfProp=1;
Smoketrail=1;
accuracy=2000;
[Damage]
{
default=500;
}
}
Why won't mah Smoketrail show up? Do I need to texture one? IF so, thats badass...

Use the one from simbase as a template, if you want (weapon name is ssm)

ballistic weapons currently can't have smoketrails

I removed that (A while before you all told me that) and it still didn't show up...

Missiles are lineofsight=1, if you want them to fly in an arc use TrajectoryHeight=1 (can be any float value but some will give the weapon issues with hitting anything).

Is there any easier/shorter way to do the script for firing 12 weapons from twelve areas with 1 firepoint.. Currently all twelve rockets are launched indiscriminantly, and I want them to be fired in a succession. I don't think I wanna do it the peewee way

Low reload time weapon and scripted ammo can do that and you don't need any burst weapons.

Thanks a lot rattle...
And, for some reason, this won't make my tanks base budge.. an inch...
Code: Select all
FirePrimary()
{
emit-sfx LightTankShellShoot from barrel;
turn base to x-axis <30> NOW;
turn base to x-axis <0> speed <30>;
}
I used the 30 to see if three was too small of a leap to see, but my tank refuses to jump, damnit...
It fulfills its emit, but refuses to jump...
BTW, any other info that might be needed.. It has no turret, and has a 10 degree or so fire arc, with just a 1 in the z angle.. Not really much more info that might be needed...
Posted: 19 May 2007, 08:19
by KDR_11k
10 degree firearc means you're screwed if the map is uneven in any way. Yes I know it sucks and I'd like that to be the horizontal arc only but well, can't do anything about that.
Is there perhaps some other function turning that piece?
Posted: 19 May 2007, 16:21
by Snipawolf
It fires plenty enough, just no jumping...
Nope, nothing else is turning that piece, I even put it in the origin in back just for this specific reason.. I'll see if I can export the script from UpSpring and see if that does anything different...
Oh, and the angle is actually 15...
