Title: Question about turrets
Post by: Whitelight on September 26, 2002, 07:52:34 pm

I`ve edited the ships table turrets and was wondering what the numbers after the turret stood for (,2.0,1.0) ??? If anyone out there on the board could enlighten me, many thanks...  Just another geek behind his pc


(Example)  $Subsystem: turret01,2.0,1.0

Oh and every time that I have edited a turret, I have not changed this value, i`ve always used the values that were in the table... oops, maybe I should have posted this topic in the modding forum, if so then i`m sorry for any problems I may have caused  the admins ...

The first number is the turret strength and the second is the turret rotation time. The turret strength seems to be dependent on the ship's hull strength - it is probably given as a percentage - and the rotation time specifies how many seconds it takes to do a full 360° turn, although I do not think it has any effect except for barelled turrets. (they tend to have destroyed subobject models and are usually big, e.g. Hecate flak cannons)

though in the future this type of topic would be better to place in the modding forum ;)
