Title: $Substitute: does not work on turrets?
Post by: Spoon on February 22, 2011, 10:38:24 am

I'm getting this crash when giving a capital ship a weapon that has substitute defined
Assert: position != NULL
File: weapons.cpp
Line: 4966
'LSF Challenger 1' is trying to fire a weapon that is not selected

And from the debug log:
ASSERTION: "position != NULL" at weapons.cpp:4966
 'LSF Challenger 1' is trying to fire a weapon that is not selected

Hmm, I will have to take a look at it when I get home.  Unfornatly, I never tested the feature with capships.

Doesn't work with beam weapons either

What is the expected result of using beams with this system.  Because beams work so differently from every other weapon I am not sure if it is doable.

Because of how the engine handles turrets I am consulting with SCP as to what we figure will be the best solution.

Any progress on this?
I've recently tried to make a realistic ZSU-23-4 style turret and ran into this problem.

Not really.  Primarily because I don't have time until August to actually sit down and actually spend the time to work on this.

Also, nobody answered my question about the expected behavior of substituting beams.

Substituting beams would fire a beam down the turret normal?
If only it were that easy...

:D

I didn't really want to have to rewrite the entire weapons code...
