$Swarm for primaries?
I was just wondering if any more work was going to be done on the $Swarm field to make it applicable to primary weapons and not just turrets' weapons and secondaries?

Re: $Swarm for primaries?
I guess since this is around and it involves swarm weapons... :nervous:
What fields do I modify by chance to increase the RoF in which a missile salvo is released? i.e.: Tornado salvos launching their salvo faster than Hornet salvos.

 
Re: $Swarm for primaries?
If your using the $Swarm field (ie. hornet style) you add +SwarmWait: beneath it, while corkscrew missiles such as the tornado have a whole different set of fields, it's all listed in the weapons.tbl page in the wiki

Make sure your entries in the table are in proper order

Re: $Swarm for primaries?
Okay, I got them working now, which is odd because I already did put them in the right order.
Now I try to make a proper Macross style Itano Circus swarm.
...With Helios torpedoes... ;7





Kidding.

The GTA are indeed nubs for not being able to fire their torpedoes in salvo.
