It's likely the weapon since it's a special case meant for vehicles. The deployed ICBM launcher is decidedly not a vehicle so try a different weapon.

Also. Jesus fucks, talk about OP.

What in sam hell is that supposed to mean, lol Laughing

It means create a different weapon that DOES NOT use the spawner behavior.

I ment what in sam hell does that mean--- refering to OP, is that other people, outta place, order pizza, what?

OP means overpowered - assuming you used this on a rook v3 the default damage for one cell is 200x2.8

in this case of light armour its 200x2x2.8

its also 10 cells so large foundation buildings such as construction yards, factories will suffer even more damage.

Bascially this blows up anything in 1 shot

3x3 works as well. The aircraft need a central cell to land on.

yeah it will pretty much blow up everything, but then again it is an atom bomb. Anyway ive already toned it down cause i found a way to launch my missile from the deployed icbm. Those were just mock up settings for testing purposes.

Can it be any size so long as there is a central cell? Shame 2x2 doesn't work, I had an excellent idea for TIA.

you say buildings cant spawn missile but can spawn aircraft, isnt the v3 rocket an aircraft!

Any size that has a central cell, yes. So anything that's an odd number should work fine.

[V3ROCKET]
MissileSpawn=yes

V3ROCKET if you want to get down to technical stuff is a AircraftType, its doesn't behave like a [ASW] or [HORNET] because it uses like special logic to determine damage.

Also a aircraft can return to reload a missle can't obviously.

Can't you just make a suicide aircraft which looks like a missile?

Allied General · Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 9:57 pm Post subject:

spawned aircraft have issues with

- limbo launch suicide aircraft (never "regenerates" aircraft)
- animation kill suicide aircraft (spawned aircraft just falls straight down, it does not dive into target)

also the effect isn't like that of a proper missile, you only use sucide logic for like kamikaze style attacks.

If you set the FlightLevel low enough and Speed high enough... it could work well enough. #Tongue

or give it a suicide weap, set explodes=yes on it and make its suicide weap a missile that looks like it?

*ventures into dangerous territory*

Couldn't you just attach a missile locomotor to the spawned aircraft to make it move like a missile, or does that defeat the point.
