Pumps
Subject description: Pumping out water
My mod is based around ships.
Basically, when the ship hits an iceberg, the ice berg shoots an invisible, very powerful, missile at the ship (crippling it. This is followed by a steady stream of much weaker missiles (the ship can't move and its health slowly dwindles away (this simulates sinking).
Among several other emergency options is the ability to "switch on the pumps".
This is essentially upgrading the stricken ship with an (invisible) point laser defence.
This would shoot some of the incoming projectiles and buy the ship some time.
Code wise, a (highly modified) humvee, is upgraded with an invisible china gattling cannon that shoots the laser instead of bullets.
The trouble is, the laser will not shoot at missiles (any type). It does however shoot infantry.
I have already tried using just the paladin tanks point laser module but it still won't shoot the incoming missiles, any ideas?
Also, I've been trying to make the Emergency repair power work at the start of the game, without having to purchase it, but it won't work. I've looked at it compared to the spysatelite but nothing I do seems to work...
Water warfare? Wel you just make vehicles that can go have "Water" in their locomotor surface tag.
Then have capturable docks on water maps that are mostly in water to build ships.
But my mod is not a warfare mod. The nearest it comes to being like that is if you run into pirates (very rarely happens).
In which case the ship can use its sound cannons (if you have purchased one), and the small handful of fire arms the ship has onboard (if you purchased some) to resist the pirates. The guns would normally be used to protect the passengers when they go to an island with dangerous animals.
The mod is more of a puzzle, full of barriers preventing you from getting to your final destination (Antarctica).
The map is huge (takes 10 minutes for the ship to cross), but you can't just cross it as soon as you start, you need to gain money to buy supplies and equipment for such a long journey (and train the crew).
I am using the point laser defence. But it does not seem to work against missiles anymore (it shoots infantry only).
I did not modify the weapon in anyway, just mounted it on my ship. QUICK_EDIT
