Would someone enlighten me?
Bushwacker:
After being ignored on the VBB, here's my question (for the millionth time it seems):
What the heck does that +Zadd: part of the beam section do anyways?
Setekh:
Where is Shrike when you need him?
Bushwacker:
Yeah, and what was he saying about the $Swarm: thing on a capship turret? Did he put it in the cannon part in weapons.tbl (as I suspect) or did he graft it in the ships.tbl section for the actual turrets? (doubtful, but anything's possible)
Setekh:
I think he put it in the weapons.tbl. But as I remember, the swarm only works for turrets that are a separate subobject, otherwise they only fire straight without aiming, along their normal. But don't quote me on that, I don't know exactly what I'm talking about.
Bushwacker:
I think I know what you're talking about. Give the laser a $Swarm: 3 or the likes, then put that on a multipart turret (ie turret01a thru turret05a on an Orion) and it fires the lasers in salvoes of three shots. Stationary turrets just shoot straight out since they don't have any way of altering the firing vector...I'm starting to get it, but maybe Shrike should tell it as he did it.
