Title: Quick question about fighter flak
Post by: Sesquipedalian on March 06, 2004, 03:56:18 am

If one were to put the "Flak" flag on a secondary weapon, would it work?  Moreover, what are the rules in general for the "Flak" flag?

If "Flak" will not work on a secondary weapon, is there anything one could do to get a missile to explode in proximity to the target?

IIRC you only get a small flak trail behind it. Not usre though it's been a long time since i done that.

i think the handling all code for flak weapons is all in the ship_fire_primary() function.  we can change it to do something in 3.6. say a proximity fuse type thing

It would be nice to have a proximity sensor sort of thing for secondaries in SA.  I don't expect it would be very complicated.

not a bad idea.  it would have to go in after the freeze is lifted however.
