Title: Laser cycling with alternatating firepoints!
Post by: Galemp on October 13, 2008, 10:50:11 pm
Thanks to the wonders of Mantis and the prowess of Backslash, we now have the ability to create lasers that fire from alternating pairs of firepoints!

Use this build (http://files.fringespace.org/bs/fs2_open_3_6_10r.exe) and this TBM. (http://pjfoliver.googlepages.com/subach-cycle-wep.tbm) Go fly an Erinyes and see what happens!

Of course you can expect to see this and many more wonderful innovations in the Star Wars mod.

Definately looks like they have been fired from an X-Wing!  :yes:

so...is there a way to switch between "cycle" "pairs" and "everything" like in XWA? *hopeful*

That's one thing I don't think this provides.  We will probably have to wait for some features similar to what SoL is needing for key remapping.

Well, we now have full functionality for all those firing modes.

It is possible, in a way, by having three primary banks with three weapons on them, then setting them to be unlinkable.

That crossed my mind too, and then I thought it would only be feasible if ship loadouts were locked, and the only thing you could select is what ship you want to fly.  Otherwise weapon loadout would get very tricky.  I think there will be ways to deal with it though, and this is a step in the right direction, yes.

I'd like to have a "firing system" like in Rogue Leader.

If you keep the trigger pressed: single fire
if you tap the trigger continously: pair fire
if you pause inbetween: linked fire

It would eliminate the "X" button that the X-Wing games used for fire linking

    Dunno about anyone else but I never want to tap the trigger continuosly. Did that in an arcade once playing GI Joe. Couldn't move my arm for a half hour after I was done.

OR the less dirty-way to do it is play the end of MGS4 where you have to just mash triangle for 5 minutes.

The mecha-windup minigame in one of the Mario Party games.  No one I know can beat me at it.
