Title: $Swarm for primaries?
Post by: InsaneOne on January 03, 2009, 04:36:04 pm

I was just wondering if any more work was going to be done on the $Swarm field to make it applicable to primary weapons and not just turrets' weapons and secondaries?

I guess since this is around and it involves swarm weapons... :nervous:
What fields do I modify by chance to increase the RoF in which a missile salvo is released? i.e.: Tornado salvos launching their salvo faster than Hornet salvos.

If your using the $Swarm field (ie. hornet style) you add +SwarmWait: beneath it, while corkscrew missiles such as the tornado have a whole different set of fields, it's all listed in the weapons.tbl page in the wiki

I always get this when I try adding those fields.

Code: [Select]

Error: weapons.tbl(line 4983:
Error: Required token = [#End] or [$Name:], found [$Free Flight Time: 0.50]

Make sure your entries in the table are in proper order

Okay, I got them working now, which is odd because I already did put them in the right order.
Now I try to make a proper Macross style Itano Circus swarm.
...With Helios torpedoes... ;7





Kidding.

The GTA are indeed nubs for not being able to fire their torpedoes in salvo.

That's why you make them like that. ;7
