Anyway to create a dive bomber?
aircraft cannot use turret as I tested.
I have a trick for it,looks just bad,as it will not pull up after attacking.
trick level:demonstration only, you cannot use in a public mod because you need to command dummy units to get it working. The command is part of the trick too.
Oh, sweet Jesus, that looks intimidating. That'd go really well with a low-altitude fighter, like an A-10 (though I doubt they have that grade of ordinance). Would love to see that code if you'd be at ease with sharing QUICK_EDIT

so that's the trick. LOL
set your dmisl and cmisl the same parameters that will cause the missile not hitting the ground
create dmisl and cmisl laiunchers
drop them into your battle fortress
give one of the missiles a weapon and a 1 pixel vxl

Although I haven't been a part of these forums for that long, I do hear from others that this is really what you are known for. Funny stuff like this.
If you could get it to work, I'm pretty sure plenty of modders would love to get their hands on it. _________________ Follow my Twitch channel for streams of RTS games and C&C mods QUICK_EDIT
kenosis, tell me how did you get this idea?
Did you dream it or it just suddenly came to your mind? or either you tried to create it long time until you succeeded? (my ideas just suddenly came)
Well, this is very unique! _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT
That looks amazing. I can mostly follow Kenosis' explanations, but it didn't appear as if he was able to get the plane to fly back up after the dive bombing.
How did you get it to work? _________________ New name: Sir Prize. I've switched to a new account to update to the name I've been using everywhere else for the last several years. QUICK_EDIT

delete the MissileSpawn=yes in V3ROCKET so the rocket will behave half like missile half like hornet.It can fire multiple times but will not disappear when firing, will not fly back if you press stop but V3 will not reload if they are not killed.
I was talking about the dive bomber Death Saint posted a picture of (you and Aro posted while I was typing), but those V3s are pretty trippy as well. Is there an actual usage case for those? Can they attack or otherwise deal damage? _________________ New name: Sir Prize. I've switched to a new account to update to the name I've been using everywhere else for the last several years.

So, after adjusting by trial and error, conclusion:
It must not be LazyCurve.
If you set a negative turn rate, missiles will begin to circle when they reach V3RocketAltitude . No matter where you target it.
TurnRate=-0.000001,HUUUUUUGE circle.
TurnRate=-0.8, tiny circle.
That is the way to set a proper turn rate.
V3RocketAltitude is smaller, then the circle will be smaller too.
V3RocketAltitude decides how far it will fly before beginning to circle. Higher-Further.
Other factors affecting distance before circling are V3RocketPitchFinal and
V3RocketRaiseRate.

V3RocketPauseFrames=1 ; How many frames the rocket pauses on the launcher before tilting

I noticed that too. When you type ztype it changes to ztype, but when you type ztyping, then it does not change.
And yes, some people have immunity to word scrambling, maybe because they are too awesome for system to handle them, who knows.
kenosis, man that bridge bombarding is awesome!
You must post codes for that, I would like to use plasma strike for aliens. _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT

no way LOL
they will not attack the point you order them to attack but still too ztyping (←←←←←)random.
The weapon is modified blimp bomb.
The fly parameters are erased.Use the few conclusion rules to make your own. To get a bigger circle, the turn rate should be closer to zero.
How can you make it a superweapon? It is a v3rocket, launched from a v3.
I am not sure if missiles with no MissileSpawn=yes can be used in SW. Besides, you can copy my parameter sample and try if you can really control them. _________________ Tired of grabbing my random SHP conversions? Why not learn to create SHPs for yourself?

I was just linked to this thread by Volgin. This thread is legendary, you are legendary.
I do have a question though...What happens when the "dive bomber" uses its ammo? Will it leave the map? _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90
