You'll need a targeting laser...

Thanks! And... Is it possible to use those missiles without Targeting laser? ;)

AFAIK - no.....but I could be wrong.

I think somebody posted a SSM which could be "summoned" by a TAG-C... but I'm not so sure.

Anyway, unlimited Helios --> big pwn4ge! ;7

That's probably the reason why :v: cut that weapon from the game.

Kinda off-topic question.

What was the target laser originally in the game for?  This?

There's something missing in the code I posted.
IIRC, should htere be a SSM.tbl that descibes which missiles are called with which weapon (targeting laser in this case)?
