Post by: Kie99 on October 10, 2005, 01:30:01 am: In Fred use the Fire-beam sexp, put the repeat count up to maximum, and the delay to 1 second.

Change the Turret you picked to whatever weapon you want to be fired.

Post by: Luigi30 on October 10, 2005, 05:50:10 am: The Colossus II is a Levi with a BFRed instead of a SGreen. And fire-beam bound to [ so I can just pound the button to fire 10 times.

Post by: Luigi30 on October 10, 2005, 04:57:20 pm: So anyway... how can I stop that? I want it so that it takes 10 seconds before key-reset is called and the beam can be fired once more, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Post by: karajorma on October 10, 2005, 05:59:36 pm: Unless you're using the every-time SEXP instead of when you can't. It's a long standing bug with FS2 that you can't use Key-reset in a repeating event.

If you're using every-time then certain keys will work while others fail.

More details here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,30921.0.html)

Post by: Luigi30 on October 10, 2005, 06:57:55 pm: So I'm stuck with beam-free-all and the beam targeting whatever ship you have targeted then.
Title: Note to self
Post by: karajorma on October 10, 2005, 07:08:52 pm: Nope. You can use every-time to set a variable and then key-reset.

Then use the variable in a second event to determine when to fire the beam and reset the variable.

Post by: CP5670 on October 10, 2005, 10:30:21 pm: You know, I was messing around with beams myself last weekend:

(http://home.comcast.net/~cp5670/beams.jpg)

As for the turrets firing multiple beams simultaneously, I think that's actually used in the main campaign in sm1-06 (The Great Hunt). The Ravana fires both LReds at both the Lysander and Actium at the same time.
Title: Note to self
Post by: Luigi30 on October 11, 2005, 06:08:18 am: I saw two fire-beams, one pointed at the Actium and one at the Lysander.

Also, the Lysander self-destructs after the Ravana is detected, timed to be when it's hit by the beam.

Post by: Taristin on November 10, 2005, 07:11:21 pm: Reminds me of the time I added "Player Allowed" to the BGreen beam's flags and put it on both turrets of an Osiris. Fun times.
