Title: Pulse turrets
Post by: boewolf on February 06, 2005, 01:59:08 am

I know that I can just add a sward tag to a primary capship turret to make it fire however many puleses I want but it was noted in the Babylon project that it wasn't anywhere near accurate enough for a feasable weapon.  

I also know that with R3 of the Babylon project they solved that problem...

I was wondering if anything like that could be in a future build...  I ask this bacuse I hope to use anti-cap ship weapons and anti-fighter weapons in this style...

I would just use the Babylon R3 for this but it lacks the other features I want.

I would try and pick apart their code for it but I don't know how to code in c++.

i kinda want this for a high speed beam cannon i got. it fires in pulses like a type 3 would acept it will cycle gunpoints which type 3s dont do. but theres no way to make it stop without uberscripting the mission.

TBP does not use any specialized SCP builds, all features we use are in the standard builds.

Just add this after homing and before launchsound.

Code: [Select]


$Swarm: 4
+SwarmWait: 0.15


TBP's Nial Neutron Gun cycles between gunpoints fine, I don't know whether it would work on a capital ship turret. The beam is type 3. Bobboau most likely knows if there's a trick in tables to achieve cycling. I took a look at the Neutron gun table entry and didn't notice anything referring to cycling.

Ah, so it's the type 3 and shots value together which activates cycling between gunpoints.
