Could somebody tell me how to make an SSM? I'd like to try the feature out and see what it does.

-thanks

sigh.... I was saving this for Full Circle... but its not a big deal, expecially since i made it so it works a little better, but this is the skeleton of it. put this in SSM.tbl

Code: [Select]


;; subspace missile strike definition

$SSM:
+Weapon:SomeWeapon
+Count: 5
+WarpRadius: 100
+WarpTime: 3
+Radius: 1000
+Offset: 1500
#end


Replace +Weapon with a weapon from your weapons.tbl, count is the number of missiles, warpradius is the size of the subspace portal, warptime is the amount of time between the deployment and the arrival, radius is the total cone that the missiles can enter through, offset is probably something to do with where the cone goes. Fire it with the targeting laser, but its buggy as hell.

I discovered the SSM table entries,
though I have made improvements with the sorce code
when they say buggy, they mean not very useful, like there is only one SSM entry, the lock time is hard coded, there is no way to stop it

So what exactly does the SSM do? :nervous:
