Dark-Zero:
I have 2 Question

1- Is it possible to make a certain weapon fire in a 3 shot or more burst mode

2- Knowing The missle flight, It gets out of its launcher in a direction sometime opposed to the target then head toward it, is there a way you can make another weapon do the same?


Im tryign to use the Energy torpedo and make them some sort of laser missle launcher, I bet some of you must have watched any kind of space battle where missles pop out 1 after 1, emptying every tubes befor reloading, and see thsoe missles go in every direction aorund the ship and then after head toward the targetXD

Oh and come to think of it, A cooldown for a weapon, like, using a massive firepower weapon, but has a cooldown , so unable to be reused during that time  (Changed the Sig laser into a frontal all purpose Laser cannon)

The Old Dragon:
Hi Dark-Zero,

With regards to 'burst fire', a machine was created to mimic this effect some effect some time ago. You can find it in the AFF demo.

As for missiles,  what you need to remember is that most weapons use a graphical effect for their shot which effectively draws a straight line between the weapon and the target, whereas missile based weapons actually use a shipclass, effectively creating a little strikecraft at the time of launch. So to get an energy torpedo to mimic it, you'd have to create an actual mesh similar in looks to an energy torpedo.

And the 'cooldown' period, erm... don't really know. Maybe increase the 'energyin' line in the tacticstypes and see if that makes it take longer to charge up?

Dark-Zero:
Thank you for the burst fire

I was affraid of that, i still tried because the actually graphical is NOT a straight line "noticable when fighting small ship" so i just tried my luck, unfortunatly, i never created a mesh, don't know how,and probably don't got wha tit takes to creat one, so il have to put that aside,Unless i jus ttry to use the Energy torpedo efx on the actuall missle,
Basicly, i don't care what the missle looks like right now, i just want it to travel like a missle and have a green line following in like the Energy torp
as for cooldown, i don't know why i asked that, guess i was brain dead

Mularac:
I don't think that last thing's gonna work, as with missiles, the EFX IS the mesh :P

Dark-Zero:
the missles still uses an engine, and that engine EFX can be changed
thing is if i modifie its engine, i beleive i also modifie the fighter's engines, if they all uses the boat engine that is
