Ohh thank god. I was reading the article imagining some monstrous hacked-up piece of crap. Reassuring to know it's that simple. Plz update the wiki.zwzsg wrote:That article is way too much unneccessary complicated. I have no idea why people comes up with such confusing explanation when in reality it's oh so simple.
WeaponMainDir1 is the coordinate of a vector showing the axe of the cone.
MaxAngleDif is the angle of the cone.
If you aren't familiar with vectors, let's just say that WeaponMainDir1 is the coordinate of a point, and that the weapon has to be fired toward that point.
A 90 degree forward cone would look like:
WeaponMainDir1=0 0 1;//x:0 y:0 z:1 => that's forward!
MaxAngleDif1=90;//90° from side to side, or 45° from center to each direction
To precisely choose your main direction, you could simply move an empty piece around in UpSpring, and copy back its coordinate (while keeping in mind UpSpring invert axis x and z).

what is the meaning of hightrajectory=2; ?
Also is maxangledif is to limit turret aiming range ? (so I can make side turret of a ship that wont shot to otherside crossing the superstructure ?)

Maxangledif16=150;Correct. Sign here: http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=5037 and maybe that'll get fixed.centurion-1 wrote:Got it to work now, I think, but the turret still aims at the targets in a 360 degree radious, but it only fires in the frontal cone? Is this correct?
the main reason i didn't want the 360 degree aiming is that the Gears are only supposed to be capable of swiveling their torso in a 180 degree forward radious. Also, the gear just stands around dumbly now when faced with enemys in the rear quadrant, it doesnt understand to turn around and face the threat.
