Title: table help-missiles
Post by: mmm99 on March 05, 2012, 04:04:43 am

hi

I downloaded an asteroid sentry off of freespace mods and it did not come with a table, so i copied the alaster sentry table and changed its turrets to secondarys and weapon to missiles.

well attempted to, the sentry did not work when i put it in mission, so alas i come here to ask if anyone can identify what I have done wrong.

here is the table

how many ships hostile to the sentry are in your test mission?  I ask because there is a little known limit on child spawning weapons, I cant remember the exact number but it might be 8 hostiles,  anything below this limit and the AI wont fire spawning weapons.

It would help greatly if you could describe the details of how it "did not work".

It would also help if you could link to the page you downloaded it from.
