Hey all

Me & my brother just finished our first work on making it so we could pilot a Cain class cruiser. I know people would have done this before, but this is our first go at this.

Tell me. Has anyone been able to make a mod where you can USE beam cannons from capital ships? coz i want to integrate that onto my cain class cruiser & make that the primary weapon. Coz at the moment weve got no primary weapons or secondary weapons. Only thing we got to fight with is our armor, LACK OF SPEED, & about half a dozen auto lazer turrets....


soooo... any feed back is much appreciated..

almost forgot     Welcome to the HLPBB

yup i remember this one.
set up a sexp to watch for a key press.
(in the training menu stuff) Get this event to trigger a firing of your beam cannons.
Another Idea is to make Beam type missiles like the lucifers beam. This means you can lock onto targets then fire seeking beams  

there was a discussion about this in another topic recently but I can't remember the topic name.

Where will the beam cannons fire?  Do you need to give them a target?

I think they would be AI-controlled, meaning they would fire at anything in their firing arc, unless you had targeted something, which takes priority. I think.

use the tag missiles to control beams or maybe you can put the tag flag into anoterh primary weapon or something then sue the sexps to control firing  or a keypress

 U can also open the POF and add regular gun points (NON TURRET) and in the TBL add a pair of beams to them.

If you do that then you won't get the beam charge-up.

Good idea.  Perhaps I could have a TAG turret

That's kinda self defeating... no?
