[T-Man]

I've been trying to upgrade the Orion in a campaign I’m planning so that its big turrets have three THT's each. Originally I was going to go with salvo fire but when I read about the "ROF" flag on the Wiki I thought I’d give it a try as it'd make a nicer effect. However, it doesn’t seem to be accepting it and I can't work out where I’ve gone wrong, so thought I’d see if someone around here who is a little more used to TBLing with the newer features can see the no doubt obvious muck-up i've made.

Here's the code (I cut out the rest of the Orion entry as it worked fine before I put this in and the error message specifically points to the ROF segment);

Code: [Select]

Cheers people.

What's the error message?

[The E]

You, uhh, actually need to specify an ROF, you know.

[T-Man]

What's the error message?

Oh yeah, sorry. Added to the top post.

You, uhh, actually need to specify an ROF, you know.

Added 3.0 after the ROF flags (so it reads "$ROF:  3.0", that right?). getting the same error.

[General Battuta]

Is the ROF flag even in 3.6.12? Do you need to use a 3.6.13 build?

didnt know ROF was implemented thought we were still only using fire wait

ROF does not show in the wiki so it's most likely a 3.6.13 feature

[T-Man]

Ah yeah... just noticed its makred as .13 (not sure if it was before though, someone must've noticed after i had read it). I'm still running .12.

Well, back to salvo fire it is for now. Apprechiate the help guys.
