Issue with Vertical beam & Gattling logic

Hey guys,

I am currently having an issue, whilst I've got no clue what exactly is causing it.

I basically want a laser that eventually charges up to be bigger via gattling logic. I am, however trying to test it out using just one anim at first.

The issue I am having is that it doesn't actually shoot whilst it's above the target, nor does it actually continue firing, which causes me having to click the building multiple times. (Added gif of the issue)

Shadow=no
Proximity=no
Ranged=yes
AA=no

Vertical=yes

I must be missing something or looked over something very obvious. But I don't understand gattling all too well as I've never really worked with it.

Is this unit a AIRCRAFT or VEHICLE?

what are you trying to do (Range=1 on a aircraft) might be buggy with aircrafts, dunno, if that is the case, try changing the unit to Vehicle.

It's a jumpjet vehicle :p

Notice how all similar weapons (Kirov bomb, Yuri drain beam) have Range=1.5

You're also missing DetonationAltitude.

modenc wrote:

DetonationAltitude defaults to 0; so consequently, any Vertical=yes projectile on which it is omitted will behave exactly as a projectile with a DetonationAltitude of 0, exploding instantly upon being spawned (unless one would manage to spawn a projectile below ground altitude.

It helps using similar existing weapons as base instead of writing the code from scratch.

Well actually, kirov has Range=1 in my code, which seems to work fine. I also changed the range to 1.5 & 2 during testing, but that didn't work.


EDIT: For the sake of being sure; I tested it again with range 1.5, didn't work.
EDIT2: Adding a detonation altitude made no change.
