Weapon scripts

WEAPONERY:

following exemples are designed for being a vehicule with 3 weapons

(ex: a tank with a vertical missile launcher a turet canon a front flamer )

keep in mind the fact that weapon1 is the sight ,

that make the unit will move at weapon1 range if order allow roam

(other weapon will not make the vehicule move )

here the list of 3d model piece needed (can be jusqt some empty :

 local turet3,gun3 = piece ('turet3','gun3')
 local tir3 = piece "tir3"
 local turet2,gun2 = piece ('turet2','gun2')
 local tir2 = piece "tir2"
 local tir1 = piece "tir1"
 local aim1 = piece "aim1"
 local aim2 = piece "aim2"
 local aim3 = piece "aim3"

UNCONDITIONAL WEAPONS

function script.AimWeapon1()
return 1
end 

function script.FireWeapon1()
end

function script.AimFromWeapon1()
return aim1
end

function script.QueryWeapon1()
return tir1
end

weapon with turret

function script.AimWeapon2(y2,x2)
  Signal(4)
  SetSignalMask(4)
  Turn(turet2,y_axis,y2,2)
  Turn(gun2,x_axis,- x2,2)
  WaitForTurn(turet2,y_axis)
  WaitForTurn(gun2,x_axis)
  return 1
end 

function script.FireWeapon2()
end

function script.AimFromWeapon2()
return aim2
end

function script.QueryWeapon2()
return tir2
end

weapon with limited rotation turet

(the turet will turn only if target is between -0.5 to 3 radian mean on side)
this can be done with elevation too

function script.AimWeapon3(y3,x3)
  Signal(8)
  SetSignalMask(8)
  if  
    y3<3   
  and 
    x3>-0.5  
      then 
      Turn(turet3,y_axis,y3,2)
      Turn(gun3,x_axis, - x3 ,2)
      WaitForTurn(turet3,y_axis)
      WaitForTurn(gun3,x_axis)
      return 1
      end 
end

function script.FireWeapon3()
EmitSfx (tir3,257) Sleep(50) --this unmandatory make smoke at shooting point
end

function script.AimFromWeapon3()
return aim3
end

function script.QueryWeapon3()
return tir3
end

• Signal(1) & SetSignalMask(1) are using ^2 if ever you need more than 30 of them you must use table names
  • the folowing UnitDef tag are involved :

highTrajectory=0,

weapons = {[1]="verti_missile1",[2]="canon2",[3]="flamethrower3",

slaveTo=0.0,

mainDir={0.0, 0.0, 1.0},

maxAngleDif=180.0,
