Spring RTS Engine

I am a new bee and this is my 1st post here.

i have done the 3do file and the 'download' build menu entry.i copy cob&bos files from other units and made a little change on them: this is only a single-piece unit,so i think scripting might not be where the problem is.

then comes the fbi file in UNITS dir.

This is my fbi file:i made it mostly by coping and editing ARMLANCE fbi.

}

then comes the hpipacker packing the files into .ufo

in game:
i can build this unit. it can fly. But it simply refuses to attack. i also tried "hoverattack=1;" but it still wont work.

by controlling this unit in FPS mode(press 'c'), i found it always target at somewhere very very high,and the statues is alwayse "aiming"

what i want to know is:whether exp_hvyrocket work in the air, or should something special be done like adjusting the 'attack run lenth' or some other parameter etc.

Try using a fighter, then a gunship, as a template. Not a bomber.

thanks, it goes well

just set it with another script edited from armfig and change weapon type from 'turret' to 'line' and it works

there is no "line" tag for weapon tdfs o.O, all you need to do is put "turret=0;". but i guess the default value of the "turret" tag is 0, and it simply didn't read your "line" tag.
