Title: Fighter primary weapon convergence
Post by: CaptJosh on May 30, 2008, 04:35:20 pm

I seem to recall some discussion some time ago about dynamic fighter primary weapon convergence and I was wondering if that was ever implemented. I would expect it to be some sort of table parameter. I ask because I was starting to get increasingly frustrated with the Claymore Mk.2 in Sol: A History. It's damn hard to hit a Ulysses with the spacing of its primaries and I was hoping to find out if any coding had been done to allow a fighter's guns to automatically converge based on distance to the current target.

A flag exists that will make the weapons fire down the specified normal of the firing point (as opposed to straight ahead) but you need to have a model that has normals that converge for this to have any effect. Unfortunately, you have to pick a distance you want them to converge at as it is not dynamic.

Hrm, that'll have to change to let the Star Wars project boys do what they want to do with convergence points on the X-Wing's weapons. It would be nice to have a dynamic convergence as a table option, though.
