Title: Gatling beam
Post by: Darkage on March 10, 2001, 12:23:00 pm: I was watching a program about weapons on tv and they showed a gatling gun from the A10 worthog,Then i tought why not make rotating turret whit 4 or 5 barrels.And on each of the barrels a beam,so when it's start rotating it fires it's beam.Or put flak on it.

What do you guys think of that idea?

Unfortunately they are the only POFs that seem to work with swarm turrets.

Post by: Darkage on March 14, 2001, 09:56:00 am: i have added the .pof file it fires missiles i also added the .pof of the fenris cruiser.

Post by: Starwing on March 14, 2001, 10:04:00 am: I only changed the .TBL to use a modified Subach HL7 with swarm tag as default weapon on the Allastor. On every other model this kind of weapon aims at a point completely off the target.

Post by: Setekh on March 14, 2001, 04:40:00 pm: Oh, lots of people have been having problems with this. Shrike had a few a while ago trying to get some swarm turrets for his Arsenal to work. Swarm turrets only work on turrets that are their own subobject... or something like that... I'm really not sure. Shrike, where are you? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Oh btw, anyone get a shield mesh onto the Fenris?

Post by: NeoHunter on March 16, 2001, 03:07:00 am: I once did a simple Alastor that fired Harpoons. Never tried with Tornadoes so I never knew it requred editiing the POF file.

How do you do that?
