Something wrong with aircraft + turrets
Posted: 11 Mar 2007, 21:56
I'm having a lot of trouble with a new unit not aiming straight, an aircraft with turrets. So I tried changin a land unit that works properly normally, into an aircraft in the FBI, it starts to aim wrong:
I think there is something up with heading/pitch aircraft get. You see the red arrow is what its aiming like, while it should aim along the green vector. The entire BOS script is also included so you can see there is nothing wrong there.
Of course I still might be wrong since a lot of mods have air units with turrets that seem to work right. The thing is that the air units stay pretty still in those mods, and this units FBI was setup so it does loops etc. So I suspect it gets the trigonometry confused up somehow by flying like this. Note that it's not doing anything fancy at the moment in the picture but still gets it wrong. If heading/pitch isnt relative to aircraft orientation, it would be aiming wrong if upside down for example, so I could expect this. But it's almost upright.
