weird flying Missile, warning:1MB big gif Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Hi

I want to show you a quite weird rocket behaviour. Maybe you found something strange too.
At least it hits the target but with a strange path.

This is a result of giving a rocket a projectile with these entrys

CODE

[DaishiRak]
Damage=100
ROF=90
Range=11
Projectile=Hellraiser
Speed=15

[Hellraiser]
Arm=2
High=yes
Shadow=yes
Proximity=yes
Ranged=yes
AA=yes
AG=yes
Image=MISSILE
ROT=3
Acceleration=1

the rocket always flies 3-4 cells in a straight line and then starts turning and homing.
Maybe someone also can explain me why TS/FS behaves this way with this projectile.

Like Cosair said; I think it must be related to the acceleration and ROT.

Anyways it's a nice result; It caught my attention, I'll test it

EDIT:
When I started testing it, I found that missile was a shp; I used that shp in the weapon, couldn't replicate what happened in your case, changed the image of the projectile to a voxel, and got a weird behaviour, quite funny , the missile disappears before it gets to the target, but it still explodes in it.

Post the full coding; I mean the projectile coding in art.ini and the warhead also.
Also does this always happen, or just sometimes?
