Cob/Bos expirence, getting deepeer and feeling myself worse

[smoke_th]

Just a simple questions which i can't break.

1. How can i rotate turret=1; weapon to specific angle and lock it, and then call to fire it from other thread?
OR
2. How can i rotate emit-sfx 204x from [anypiece]; to emit shot to specific angle.

Haaaalp!!!!!! *strikes wall with head*

...
turn your fire point. see gundam.

Filename, or better quick description?
I already tried to rotate
1. entire base
2. piece which from emits

Trouble is if i will specify
QueryWeaponX(piecenum)

it will fire itself, not caused from another weapon like i done
weapon1=dummy weapon with targeting like bomb
weapon2=real weapon burst laser.

it will fire itself, not caused from another weapon like i done

english is hard to follow here.

[smoke_th]

it will fire itself, not caused from another weapon like i done

english is hard to follow here.

I mean - i using dummy weapon with very specific targeting (air bomb)
and when it starts fire i calling second weapon to fire from 3 different points. if i set turret=1 it fires just at center of spot
and if i set turret=0 it fires following unit heading.

I need to rotate this thing and fire it at ~50 degrees down 5 shots which will look like bombing by blaster fire.

see red part of code.
it is what I use to do barrage attack on juagg.

[smoke_th]

and last question. Does your weapon 1 is turret=1; ?

[KDR_11k]

Of course it is.

What should be noted is that emit-sfx only obeys rotations applied in the unit script, not rotations applied in Upspring.

[smoke_th]

Still no effect. I tried everything. Here - parts of the code.

Weapons.tdf part
http://pastebin.com/j8ZaHSrG

Unit itself
http://pastebin.com/aPPmXT5u

I guess problem in using laser-cannon. If i doing like smoth done it still shoots at center of target and only if i press stop it creates normal bombing of ground.

[smoth]

I fire shots out with laser canon all the time... zaku2 look at it's script.

[smoke_th]

Laser shots still affected with target point i placed and flying directly to it (until i not press stop, so unit looses target and remaining shots flying down just from rotated flares) ...ok i will shot the video.

[smoke_th]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBNaDlwSgGs

here. On First time shooting i don't interrupting it so all 5x3 shots flying directly to target. BUT on second time when i interrupting process least 2 shots flying from pre-rotated flare1 2 and 3

[smoke_th]

And my point is NOT to point them to target but to be triggered by launching of invisible bombsack, and striking earth in accurate line like

....o....o...o....o....o...
....o....o...o....o....o...
....o....o...o....o....o...
....o....o...o....o....o...

Not like

[smoke_th]

I WILL TRY IT!!!!

[smoke_th]

and still it aims from it to point i targeted and fires. sweet isn't it?

[smoth]

doesn't for me.

[smoke_th]

I will even make from this one unit mod (based on ba) and lay it here so ppl will able to try this fucker and look how its works.

[smoke_th]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9288177/TESTING.SDD.rar
here smoth. unpack testing.sdd to mods dir (cap 'o' to rescue) and try it.
The weapons which i using in the end of weapons.tdf file

[knorke]

why do you rotate the "flare" firing points if you want "NOT to point them to target"?
