Hightrajectory tag

[Caydr]

It's been brought to my attention that the current hightrajectory system is very inflexible. In the case of a unit with multiple weapons (on an engine that supports up to 16, not unlikely), all of them must be either high or low.

There needs to be a way to define this on a weapon-by-weapon basis in
the FBI. I suggest it's done as follows:

Weapon1=gaussgun;

Weapon2=Plasmagun;
hightrajectory2=2;

Weapon3=bigartillery;
hightrajectory3=1;

Weapon4=plasmagun;
hightrajectory4=2;

This way, weapon 1 is always firing low-arc. Weapon 3 is always firing high-arc. Weapons 2 and 4 use a single toggle switch as it is now, to define whether they fire high or low.

Should help on my mod if it works, humans will use a lot of weapons, the artillery should defend itself, if only slightly, lol

Chainguns aimed up would suck

I second this, mucho important for Gear Commander to work right.

hmm, not a big deal, the Trajectoryheight is 100% because you can better controll the arc. Honestly hightrajectory needs to be phased out and instead we need to be able to use Trajectoryheight on all weapon types

Or not.

high trajectory has the advantage of being able to be setup as a toggle, but yeah it definately needs to be set up in a per weapon basis.. and Hightrajectory would be nice as a universal weapon tag

Also important for multi-weapon ships for 1944.

[Caydr]

I think that's at least the fifth "someone make a patch" post I've seen from him in recent weeks >_>

it's my new motto

So smoth how does the trajectoryheight work? What kind of tag is that, weapon or unit?

[smoth]

Goes as a weapon tag. look at the weapon the guntank fires.

It is written like: Trajectoryheight=1;
The above is 45 degrees btw.

Anyway, you may need: smoketrail=1;
So the game will classify it as a missile and it will work.
