Hello guys !

I tried to made a heavy-armored bomber, and I do that :

In Rhino :

After texturing :

It is not finished, because I'vo got problems with the turrets : I cant make them usable...I check my script, my weapon tdf...They just dont't fire.

I kinda liked the look of it. It reminds me of WW2 style bombers but in a TA style.

Yeah, I liked the marauder look...(Si I named it 'Marauder'...)
Exepted the turret placement, wich was not very appropriate in TA...Bun they can't fire :(

also, I made a 'custom damage smoke' : when damaged, the aircraft's engines emit smoke. When the damage level increase, the number of engines smoking increase too : first 1, then 2,3 and 4.

This marauder is seriously damaged...

No, it is an old 3DO...

@ Mars Keeper
Well, due to I can't get this ****** turrets working, it can just drop bombs...Not very intresting...

Damn, why can't they shoot ><
This is not my first script (I've done lots of units...), but I can't understand...

My script (Only the fisrt turret shooting script)

Code: Select all

Fire2()
	{
	fire1 = !fire1;
	if (fire1==0)
		{
		show flare11;
		sleep 150;
		hide flare11;
		return( 0 );
		}

	if (fire1==1)
		{
		show flare12;
		sleep 150;
		hide flare12;
		return( 0 );
		}
	}
Aim2(heading,pitch)
	{
		signal SIG_NUM1;
		set-signal-mask SIG_NUM1;
		turn turret1 to y-axis heading speed <400>;
		turn turret1 to x-axis (0-pitch) speed <400>;
		wait-for-turn turret1 around y-axis;
		wait-for-turn turret1 around x-axis;
		START-SCRIPT RestoreAfterDelay();
		RETURN ( TRUE );
	}

Query2(piecenum)
	{
	if (fire1==0)
		{
		piecenum=flare11;
		}
	if (fire1==1)
		{
		piecenum=flare12;
		}
	}

AimFrom2(piecenum)
	{
	piecenum=turret1;
	}
Also, when using the FPS mode, I can see only 'Aiming' (The weapon is not 'to air', for testing...)

Are you sure it's Aim2 and not AimWeapon2? And the same for Query2, AimFrom2 and Fire2. At least the Spring changelog entry says so:
Spring changelog.txt wrote:-Spring can now use up to 16 weapons, use Weapon<1-16> and BadTargetCategory<1-16> in fbi file and QueryWeapon<1-16> AimWeapon<1-16> AimFromWeapon<1-16> FireWeapon<1-16> functions in scripts. Primary,secondary etc is aliased to weapon 1-3 but try not to mix old and new names in the same unit.

Very nice modeling. Still, I can't help but wish it was s3o :?

When you get it working maybe then we can help you make it an S3O, for now it looks teh awsome enough...

no a bad 3d0. There is an epic mod that may be able to use you... prods j5mello and guessmyname.

yeah we could use that for the mod but since thats in cold storage (and its forums on TAU in the boneyards soon) doubt it. Also i moddled a Marauder way back when the mod was in "active development." GMN released his models to the public (and i took em obviously) and im willing to release my aircraft as well but meh.

Also did we get an affirmative about Aim2 etc?

by Gnomre
It's <whatever>Weapon2 etc

AimWeapon2
AimFromWeapon2
QueryWeapon2
FireWeapon2

This is like, ancient news...
