Then I aproach my model in mission it crashes to desktop. Debuger gives such error message:

What does this mean??

you can have only 10 rotating submodels (turrets/radar dishes/etc) at a time.  i could've sworn it was bumped to 25 for FSO

Since when does this crash?  I've put ships with 12 multiparts into Retail before, with the only consequence being that the last 2 in the POF just didn't work.

[modis]

Yes it must be it because it has lots of rotating submodels. I think 15 . So need to correct. Thanx

Nope

Code: [Select]

#define MAX_ROTATING_SUBMODELS 10

Easily bumpable though. I set it at 25 for my next build.

I have another question.
I created a weapon entry and added $swarm 3. It looks cool, but works only for multipart turrets, on normal turrets it acts strange. It shoots only to direction of normals, no aiming.
How to have same effect work on normal turrets?

[Roanoke]

you gave it a big enough Field of View right ? (worth checking the easy stuff first)

[Anaz]

missile turrets don't aim. Swarm (used to be) a missile-only property. I think it makes FS2 think that turrets with swarm weapons don't need to aim.

Are you sure about that?  I could have sworn that fusion mortar turrets tracked their target even though the missiles themselves are dumbfires.

[Trivial Psychic]

The Fusion mortar is dumfire, so perhaps its tracking weapons that don't target when fired.  They fire out down the normal, then track towards their target.

[modis]

I said that if turret is multipart it aims even with swarm or dumpfire. But if it is regular turret ir don't aim just shots stright the line of normal. Because swarm makes game think that laser is like missile I have to think another way for same effect I like that swarm of laser bolts...

[Roanoke]

if I understand it correctly, multi-parts only fire through the normal anyway. Try changing the table entry from tracking to non-tracking (or vice versa)

Is it a missile weapon BTW ?
