Hi Folks
remember in OTA it didnt matter where you positioned your llts and sentinels..(or any gun for that matter) i mean no matter location they would still work..
im makin a mini mod for spring atm and would love to be able to make it like it used to be in the OTA days..
what im wanting to know is can I change the info in weapons.tdf to do this ? or something along similar lines.....

im really not sure what you mean. ive never encountered llts or hlts not working.

yes if they are side by side...
if the HLT is in front of the LLT the llt wont shoot...
it would in OTA.

noselfdamage=1;
CollideFriendly=0;
AvoidFriendly=0;
this should do it.. put this is all weapon descriptions.

well it works but kills the blocking llt

is it hitting the llt or is the shot hitting the ground near the llt hurting it?
If it is firing through and hitting the llt then collide friendly may be broken....
anyone else have any ideas on this?

not really but this isn't what you want. Report this as a bug in the development forum so they fix it before the next release.

Beamlasers ignore collidefriendly. Make them use beamweapons instead.

Yeah, change the Beamlaser tag to a Beamweapon tag, thats what OTA used anyway.

LUA fine, but how do I do it ?
also the tsg beamweapon=1 doesnt work on annihilators or guardians...

Guardians fire Plasma shells, if I recall...

Its a whole damn scripting language you need to learn, and it wont even do anything until the next version of spring is out (hopefully soon).
I dont know anything about it. Ill try to get a reply from someone who does.

could do a hax on the experience counter. make it only move in 1 unit steps, and only when it gets a kill. no idea how to do that
