Ok, i created  new bomb using the harbinger as the model... Now it is dumbfire, so it can be shot at anything, but when it is shot at a friendly destroyer, the destroyer goes evasive... it looks stupid, especialy because they were in subspace, and the point was that they had to stay still... is there any flag or something in FS1 that i can put into the weapon tables, like the Huge tag on beams in FS2? I can'ttell theships to stay still, because some missions have them moving...

any help?

Make sure your destroyer is actually tabled as a destroyer - otherwise, it might be using the fighter AI.  I think the "capital" flag is needed.

[Hippo]

its an orion, and a typhoon, and a demon, and a lucifer, and a hades, nda lilith, and a fenris, and an aten... It happens on all the Volition destroyers and cruisers... Havent tested on freighters though... I think its a problem with the bomb itself... it doesn't happen with harbingers...

What flags does this new bomb have?

Just tell the ship to play-dead or stay-still or whatever using a sexp.

Use the training ones so whenever the secondary is fired, the ship gets Stay-Still orders.

[Hippo]

it doesn't look good when the ship is supposed to be following waypoints ad a bomb misses its target...

The freighters only smetimes do it... and the destroyers/cruisers do it even if it is 1 klick away and going to pass by the hull by half a klick...

training wont work either... i had the AI shoot at a cain tht departed before the bombs hit, and the orion in the backround went crazy...

[Hippo]

sorry about the sise...

BEFORE;



AFTER; (during)



put that table file into your FS1 weapons table (make sure it uses the harbinger pof) and download and run this mission... make sure you pust '1' immediately after the boms are launched so the lilith departs...

[TopAce]

The marks of " are basically mistaken in your TBL? They are needed.

Give the ship the 'No Dynamic Goal' flag in the misc options of the Ship Editor, and try again.

[Hippo]

I want to have it move, but shoot down the bombs and engage things... I don't want it to turn 75 degrees to port 2 seconds before it jumps through a node, and instead, jumps away from the node...

[diamondgeezer]

The AI will try to evade weapons fire. No biggie. You might need an SCP tweak to fix this little 'problem'

[list=A]

• Its FS1
• Its a capital ship, if it takes evasive action, it knocks everything about like a giant baseball...
• it looks stupid when it turns half way around because a bomb missed its target...
