all debug builds cause this problem (not just mine)?

[Raptor]

All the one's I've tried.

[Scooby_Doo]

Well this feature is already being put to use.... 




I just need to get out of the top/bottom turret mindset...

[Taristin]

How about some in action pics?

[Scooby_Doo]

Well I tried... just that the turrets use fast blob weapons, so they don't show off very well, that plus the fact i can't hit the print screen fast enough 

Btw, bob could we get a release version of this?  Nothing like having to hit "n" a couple million times because it's complaining about depresiated flags (probably the no damage from subsytem to parent entry).

[Bobboau]

yeah, someone made a syntax change, honestly it's a lot cleaner, rather than put +non-targetable +no damage
on diferent lines you put it in $flags:("non targetable" "no damage")
like ship flags.

...anyway nice work so far but don't limet yourself to just putting them on the sides, you could put them on those slanty bits too.

[TrashMan]

Bob, if you were a woman, I would marry you!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!

[Omniscaper]

Is there still a cap on maximum number of multipart turrets? I'd like to try this code with Galactica's 175 AAA turrets.

[Scooby_Doo]

I think thats part of PCS's problem too Omniscaper.

or you can use something like the turret i posted on the recent builds thread. i also have a couple more ideas to try, just havent modeled up the tests yet.

is it just be or does there seem to be some collision detection issues. seems like some of the shots are passing through the base or barrel models, or their explosions and other effects arent being rendered.

[Bobboau]

I have been worried about colision detection problems this whole time, and is principly why I haven't commited this yet, problem is when I explicitly try to shoot at a turret it seems to hit.

[Nuke]

i figure its just a matter to make the collision trees rotate with the models. i think its just a matter of their range of motion being limited to a fixed range. of course i havent looked at the code and im really talking out of my ass.

[Bobboau]

you've got it sort of backwards, the point's being collided with get rotated into the object's normal rest position, I inserted the optional axis into the code in the same way it got inserted every were else so it should be working, but things might be diferent.

[Nuke]

well im glad i got it bass akwards, rather than completely wrong

but that makes sence, why rotate something as vast as a collision tree when you simply just need to rotate a couple of shots.
