This is a primary-bank-mounted weapon which fires homing energy blobs. It requires a fairly recent build, and (I'm not sure) may need the mediavps. I haven't got the homing to work quite right (they don't target what you target quite right), it crashes if you fire while a friendly ship is targeted (possibly also when nothing is targeted), and it won't work in multiplayer.

If you figure out fixes for this, post it up!

edit: there seems to have a new error popped up... before it worked as stated below, but now I need to add "Flak" to the flags of the two primaries to make it work again... strange.
Seems I'll have to do a bit more experimenting and testing to find out what went wrong...  

Oh, and thanks to aa51 from the irc-channel for help in testing this again .

[edit2: Added the Flak-flag to the tbm below, to prevent people from jumping into trouble .]


Sorry in advance for necromancing... but I just did a homing primary, too; just that I simply used spawning for it.

Granted, that way the hits will count as secondary-hits, but I'd say I prefer that over crashes...

I basically simply took the Prometheus and a Rockeye with Prometheus-stats + Prometheus-looks, then somewhat changed some values.



IMPORTANT POINT: For this to work, it seems the "remote detonate" is needed in the parent primary. That was the main problem I had to figure out.

*tested with 3.6.10.5618*   (well, only the LR-variant, but technically, that shouldn't matter...)


*Also, I wanted to make the primary homing, and the secondary to inherit it's parent's target... but at that point I still hadn't figured out the remote-detonate was necessary, and again deactivated the homing for testing if it was a problem... as this didn't seem to cause differences, it should be safe to turn the homing on the parent primary on again.
I just didn't yet get to test it again...

Add that to some ship and mission loadouts, and have fun . (you might want to reduce the secondaries turn time for balancing... )




Note: The "LR" variant is seriously overpowered - with that range and turn time, you can simply fire into the blue and wait for the shots to search their own targets...
For further balancing, you might also want to increase the turn time of the "normal" PromT - 1.0 is about usual for the better dogfight missiles, but they are not that fast... so maybe give it a turn time of about 0.5 to 2.0, as you see fit .

Actually, when testing it, I had a bit of a "deja vu"... All those green blobs moving like a school of fish hunting some prey very much reminded me of the end of Stargates' southpole-battle, just this time the drones were greeen...  


...I'd have uploaded this to FSMods with a few test-missions (Asteroid Dogfight & Shivan Gauntlet), if uploads were working currently (please repair them soon, achtung ) .
And nope, I tested this in another missiion... as Shivan, of course ;o) .    ':.:'
     (over 100 GTVA pilots were lost to that weapon in it's final test run - oops... )



P.S.: I actually found an even more promising use of that concept... But I'll still have to flash that one out a bit.

        Also, I haven't yet tried to set the parent to ASPECT... I'd guess that wouldn't get any positive effects, but maybe I'm wrong...

*out*

[Aardwolf]

Kind of long, I mostly just skimmed it... is there a bug? Or are you just having fun with homing primaries?

[Mav]

Kind of long, I mostly just skimmed it... is there a bug? Or are you just having fun with homing primaries?

Mostly having fun, but somehow it started requiring the "Flak"-flag... A while earlier it worked without that and I just have no idea why that changed...

Also, I tried a few other things... curved lasers should work once I try again - but spawning beams seems to be defunct...
I'd sooo have liked a Shivan primary that spawns a small salvo of SAAA's ...

[Aardwolf]

I don't think it's ever been possible to spawn beams.

[Commander Zane]

It isn't I tried making BFRed childs on a Pirannah.

[Thaeris]

Hmmm... If you got the homing primaries to work, those may be of great interest to the fellow producing the Stellar Assault mod. 

[Mav]

Hm... ok, I tested a bit more today.


*Notice to self* : NEVER do "just a few aesthetic corrections" without making a backup before...

Well, I got the LR-version to work without "Flak" again... the strange thing is, the short-ranged version still needs it.
Curved "lasers" (that somebody requested in the chat) also work by now, although not as beams but just as trails like the Shivan Super Laser.
Question: Is it possible to add a glowmap to a trail?? Because that way it'd look a bit more like a beam...


It seems that the spawning primary shouldn't have "Homing: YES", or else it won't "explode" without hitting something (the same as when "Remote Detonate" isn't used), and thus also not spawn.
Also, setting the lifetime for the initial primary too low (e.g. 0.01) will also break the spawnig, it seems.
( Notice: That "spawn-when-hitting" behaviour could eventually be used to mimic "reflecting" weapons... )

I rebalanced the short-range version (the uppermost entry) to be a BIT more fair. It has a restricted view cone by now, as well as a higher turn time. I left the seeker strength, as it would anyway be nonsense to waste countermeasures on it - there's no ammo limit for these after all, and they can be outmaneuvred better than normal missiles, as their turn time doesn't hold up with their speed by now.


Here's my current -wep.tbm (please note that only the normal, LR and cl variants are currently considered functional) :
