Helicopter Weapons

hellnecrotom · Civilian **Joined**: 31 May 2017

Hey there guys,

Another question here: I added an extra helicopter and I planned on adding the weapon of the Chrono Legionaire to it. However, when I do, it will not fire (and most weapons that I add to the helicopter won't fire on tanks and buildings; just infantry or, in other cases, not even that).

[I also had a tank that exhibited this behaviour...]

Checked projectile and warhead settings and they are a perfect replica of the "Hind" chopper weapon that works perfectly. What is going on here?

As always, I appreciate the support Smile

Cheers

Still need to look at codes. Even if it's mentioned what you did, there might still be a thing or two you missed to either mention or check. In the latter's case, it could make the chopper unusable.
Long story short: No Code, no help, dode.

Weapons used on jumpjet helicopters need OmniFire=yes to work correctly. NeutronRifle doesn't have this tag so you'll need to make a clone of the weapon code & add it.

OK, so I've added the "OmniFire=yes" both to the weapon (a clone of NeutronRifle) and to the chopper. I still have that problem.

What I've noticed, though, is that if I stop the chopper within range of a unit and press CTRL+Click on it, it will not attack it. HOWEVER, if I stand there, press "S" for it to stop and then CTRL+Click, it will vapourise the unit with the Chrono Legionaire weapon (though the chopper will not stay in place until the temporal shift is finished - you can just hit a unit and walk away while the shift happens on its own).

What could be at the bottom of this? :-s

Thanks
