Corckscrew works with lasers?  Does this mean we don't need volley fire coding??

[Black Wolf]

Excellent news Now we can have TIE bombers that actually bomb things

Umm...in the TIE Fighter games, they do fire bombs forward just like the bombers in FS2

Unless your planning to bomb asteroids that are hiding the Millenium Falcon

[Black Wolf]

Well, there's enough evidence to convince me they're capable of both - this just increases our scope that little bit extra .

[Deepblue]

Would you mind posting the weapons table entry for us?

[FreeTerran]

On what for a position at the weapon table must be that

Code: [Select]

$Pspew:
+Count: 1
+Time: 25
+Vel: 0.4
+Radius: 2.0
+Life: 0.15
+Scale: 0.8
+Bitmap: whatever

[Charmande]

okayokay, here's my conjecture...

For any Missile or Laser with corkscrew effect turned on, and $Homing set to NO, the weapon will fire at an angle which is defined by putting a nonzero number in the +Radius field of the corkscrew effect.  1.0 causes the weapon to fire about 10 degrees downward, 9.0 causes the weapon to fire straight down.  Anything past 9.0 causes the weapon to fire straight downward at higher velocities.  Negative numbers can be used to cause a weapon to fire upwards.

Also...

A laser with Homing set to HEAT or ASPECT will not have homing capability of any kind, but they are capable of having the real corkscrew effect, like the tornado.  

that's pretty much it.  If Homing is on, then the weapon can corkscrew, if homing is NO, then the weapon can fire at angles.

oh, and i made the shockwaves on my FS2 from blue to red, they look cool!

[Bobboau]

it goes on the end

[phreak]

just letting you know, the AI is not going to get 1 hit with the missiles if they go straight down

[NecroBob]

lmao
it'd be a sight though, yes?

(and sorry for being a dick about that whole bomb explosion geomod thread, I was going through some emotional distress during that time.)

[EDIT] misspelling, drat...

oh my!  the legendary Free Terran, we meet at last!

*bows down*

anyway... i think you might need to add the "particle spew" flag.

and lasers can have shockwaves?  i never tried that one before.

[FreeTerran]

yes laser can have schockwaves and its a weapon of the DOTA mod.

[TrashMan]

Explosions, shockwaves, trails, corkcrew effect....... some of our weapons have it all:D (Thinks of Ion Cannon)

Anyway, where can I find a readme or something that explains how to make ballistic primarys, corkcrew, particle spew, cutscenes and other good FS2_Open stuff?

[Bobboau]

yes you need the "Particle Spew" flag in there, other than that it looks like that should work

[FreeTerran]

Yes it works now but where can I find something that explains to make cutsences ?

[Bobboau]

I should note that it works _much_ better with anis than still pcxs

and I don't know about the cutsceens

[FreeTerran]

I can use anis for the corkcrew effect ?

[TrashMan]
