Need help with mlrs Options

[Blacksilence]

How do you let an mlrs fire with delays between.

This is what i mean fire,break,fire,break,fire,break,fire,break,fire,break,fire,break,fire,break,fir
,break,fire,break,fire,break,fire,break,fire,quit emty autoreload and again. Not 12 rockets in one time.

[Bittah Commander]

Burst= tells the weapon how many projectiles to fire at once (in one burst) and ROF= (ROF stands for rate of fire) tells the weapon how long it should pause in between shots.

[Team Black]

then under the Hover MLRS entry put
Ammo=(how many shots does it carry)
Reload=(how long does it take to autoreload)

[Blacksilence]

But it wont reload

[Team Black]

Hmm...
in TS Retro, SMIFFGIG made the core defender autoreload (which really made him a wuss though)

If you have the TSR firesrm.ini, go check it out.

[Roani52]

No, he means that the MRLS must shoot a rocket, then the driver go eats an KitKat for 5 seconds, and then 12 times after each other. And then the driver fall in sleep for 1 minute and shoot a rocket, then the driver go eats an KitKat for 5 seconds, and then 12 times after each other. And then the driver fall in sleep for 1 minute and shoot a rocket, then the driver go eats an KitKat for 5 seconds, and then 12 times after each other. And then the driver fall in sleep for 1 minute and... and so further without reloading in a reload bay!

You must have a lot of KitKat's then
Anyway, that's indeed what he means.

[ChielScape]

i must play with that reload= tag.

Oke i'm going to find out with a kitkat

[The DvD]

No, it's more complicated than this. You'd have to set the burstdelay. Take a look at the Juggernaut's weapon coding:

CODE

[Jugg90mm]
Damage=70
ROF=110
Range=18
MinimumRange=5
Projectile=Ballistic
Speed=10
Warhead=ARTYHE2
Report=JUGGER1,JUGGER2,JUGGER3,JUGGER4
Anim=GUNFIRE
Lobber=yes
BurstDelay0=6
BurstDelay1=12
BurstDelay2=12
Burst=3

As you can see, the unit fires 3 shots from it's barrels in rapid succession, then wait's for 110 game 'ticks' before shooting again. The delay between the shots is somewhat bigger than you normally see, this is set by the BurstDelay tags. The coding for a MLRS weapon that holds 12 missiles and shoots them with a significant delay between is like this:

CODE

[12missiles]
Damage=40; only medium damage
ROF=200; long delay for reloading
Range=14; long range
MinimumRange=3; can't fire on targets that are very close
Projectile=HeatSeeker; Fires missiles that track ground units only
Speed=30;
Warhead=HE
Report=MISL1
BurstDelay0=12  ; shot 1
BurstDelay1=12  ; shot 2
BurstDelay2=12  ; shot 3
BurstDelay3=12  ; shot 4
BurstDelay4=12  ; shot 5
BurstDelay5=12  ; shot 6
BurstDelay6=12  ; shot 7
BurstDelay7=12  ; shot 8
BurstDelay8=12  ; shot 9
BurstDelay9=12  ; shot 10
BurstDelay10=12 ; shot 11
BurstDelay11=12 ; shot 12
Burst=12; Fires 12 shots before reloading for 200 ticks

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if the game supports that many burstdelays.

[Uufje]

Omg, I thought you could only do that with Generals. XD

[Bittah Commander]

I gues I learned something new then
(Though I would've eventually found it out myself when I'd view the Juggernaut's weapon )

[ChielScape]

me too. though i probably wouldnt have looked at the jugger cuz i never use FS's ini

[Roani52]

But does this means that you could only use burst delay if you have FS?
(I have it, but else is the MLRS useless for non FS users)

[ChielScape]

i guess

[Bittah Commander]

No, you can also use it when you don't have FS. Everything that's possible in FS, is also possible if TS has the latest update.

[ChielScape]

ah, thats good to hear

[Roani52]

Ok, thank you.
Now I have to edit my rules ini info file.

[Denmon]

Also, don't add the ammo tag to ground vehicles as they can't reload. You might be able to make like a helipad for the tank but I don't know if this is possible.

[Blacksilence]

Problem is solved
lock

[tomb]

With RA1, the mine-layers reloaded using the repair bay. But I don't know if that'll work in TS.

[Blacksilence]

Offcourse that can.
LIke mobilehelipad, You first have to deploy it, then it would work.

[Bittah Commander]

Mine layers wouldn't work properly in TS because they'd repair every time they'd lay a mine.
