Oh, that anti-fighter gun was a side project..it's terran looking anyway so I won't put it on this ship....
Do the green plasma-like barrels or normal mass-driver like look better?

This ship will have 1..maby 2 very weak beam cannons and some lighter defensive turrets.

[Polpolion]

@TheSizzler - are you turret placement proposals for missile turrets or standard ones?

Defense guns.

[Wanderer]

That defense turret screams: "Terran!"

Allright I need elp with getting the friggin missiles to work..I basicly want missiles that act like the missiles fired from subs or modern cruisers...you shoot them to your felt, after a while tehy turn around and head for hte target..

This is what I have so far:

Turret launched spawning missiles (bus missiles) use IIRC hard coded system which practically makes them fly without homing onto the target until it explodes.. Same thing as seen in FS with shivan clusters etc. But if you want to try using those then try using the new "inherit parent target" flag (unstable branch only).

But what i meant is something like this:

I'm tapping into an unknown area for me here (here...there has to be a first sometime )

I strated with the premise that you can't make a missile that fires wherever the turret is facing and then turns - as a single peace. So I figured the inital stage is one missle, and the tracking one is it's spawn.

I THINK I understand now, but just be on the safe side, if somone can post here the whole code (including submunition) for such a missile, without trying to apply it to my missile (as in - a code of a missile like that that's allready been made).

ATM I'm a little confused...

 

[Wanderer]

Did i ever mention that the different stages of the missile would actually be separate missiles? No



Missiles fly at (launching ship velocity + 1/4 of their listed velocity) during the 'free flight' which by default lasts 0.25 seconds. Now with SCP you can use '$Free Flight Time:' to set this value into something else. So missiles start to fly at their listed velocity and home only after that time after their launch has passed. So if you use swarm type missiles (firing swarm of 1 missile) it launches these directly along the firepoints normal (or used to do so - hence the new flag thing). So using swarm missiles with free flight setting allows you to make missiles that fly directly away from the launcher then a moment later they start to home on to the target. Totally without any submunitions. You can make it with spawn type missiles too - sort of - but then you will not be able to 'pass on the target info'

Submunitions & turrets do not work properly (ATM).

[TrashMan]

tanks you very much
 

[TrashMan]

UU..works like a charm!
Kinda reminds me of Robotech when the missile salvos being! 

[Polpolion]

How would an aspect seeking child munition work?

[Wanderer]

Did you read the earlier posts from this thread?

[Getter Robo G]

Trash,

   Keep that gun!!! If you can make a slimmer one that fits on the back of a Hammerhead fighter, and also one for the front that only has one gun cluster instead of two that would be great!! I'll send you the old low poly fighter with the FIREHAWK you wanted this weekend sometime...

The barrels don't have to rotate, but nuke mod has spoiled me lol.

 A thought, maybe you just need the stumps with a firepoint and the mod will "add" the barrels in for me? Every test model Iadded using a default weapon from Nukemod had rotating barrels on the fire points... I may be onto something cheap and easy, guess it's related to the show weapon flag? I dunno 3.6.9 modding  is still new to me...

Meh if you can give me the turrets in the old fashioned way please. 

[Hades]

In da game! LOD 1 and 2 that is

How do you get that Fs2 Tech room screen?

[Wanderer]

Oh.. forgot to mention but at least earlier any turret launched spawn type weapon would fire exclusively on the original turret normal. So even multi part turrets fired spawn type missiles along their 'original' normal instead of 'barrel normal'. And those missiles refused to home and flew only at their free flight speed.

I thought it was the F3 button... atleast at mine.
but offtopic? what model progam do you use?

[TrashMan]

Truespace 5.1...and usually I mix it up with 3D Max 7.0, but it wasn't necessary for this one.
