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.

@LKO:
Yes I used the hellraiser, but for the main projectile; when I gave it to the small clusters, I just kept getting IEs, I think it was my fault anyways (Note that I didn't forgot to add the cluster weapon to a dummy unit). So this means only for the first state .
Also a negative value for acc could be good, but I think it would only give problems.

Maybe missiles need to reach a certain percentage of max speed before they start turning. And the slow acceleration causes that they reach this limit later than normal.

Well after testing a bit more, it seems that you are right, since big acc values stop the behaviour.

lol.gif a sensor behemoth. that looks crazy biggrin.gif

Well, if you want to do one go ahead :biggrin: , I just had to try by myself, as a modder, one shouldn't rely on a 100% in public resources, but anyways, nice offering ; also I didn't want to ask since I think that you are filled by requests. If I want you to make a mech I'll send you a concept art of it. Already have some, but most are of infantry.

@El_Serpiente:
AFAIK different armor values at different sides of the units are imposible to do in the engine. I have to say that I do love that idea, cause I love the play stile of CoH, which also includes it. (Hopefully it could bedone in the future since if I remember right EA said that it was going to be present in TibWars, hope have already done and not something they have planned; if it's the last one, doubt it would make to the game)

@Nods Viper:
The behaviour comes from the weapon itself and the projectile, seems to be the speed value form the weapon, the acceleration and ROT from the projectile. Since I tested this with different units to see if it was some coding of the unit (titan, hover mlrs, reaper, disruptor)

By the way, how do I make a proper quote? I couldn't get it to display the name of the original poster.

so we can say, we know how it works and can check off this topic?

also I didn't want to ask since I think that you are filled by requests. If I want you to make a mech I'll send you a concept art of it. Already have some, but most are of infantry.

yes, i have some requests, but i dont accept all. But anyway asking doesn't cost anything. For me it should be either easy/fast to do or a good enhancement for TS. So i have to like it. If you have a sketch post it in the graphics fridge or pm it to me. Infantry isn't my area of expertise, because i never tried it. (except you count the tiberium flyer as normal infantry) But if it's worth a try like the Terminator Cyborg idea, why not?

By the way, how do I make a proper quote? I couldn't get it to display the name of the original poster.

i just click on reply and there it is. how do you answer to a post?
