I am trying to make a new anti-cap weapon a torpedo, but i want to try and make it a vertical take off weapon best exmaples i can think of are the torpedos from the Vagyr battlecruiser from HW2 or the nukes of the Odyessy from SG1, i have a working weapon that fires from the sides of a capship but if it is mounted on the top were i want the torps to be (kinda like a sub with surface missiles) it won't lock on and fire. Here is what i have so far, is there anything i need to add to make the vertical take off bit work
