making a certain unit face its target when firing

tekka warrior

Hello.

I wanted to ask,how do i make a unit face it's target when its firing.

Like the typhoon attack sub for example, it faces its target.

I want to do the same for the dreadnought.

How is that possible?

Thanks in advance.

I would like the missile to be fired straight towards the target, thats all i want to do, so?

I'd say: compare the codes of the Sea Scorpion and the Dreadnought, and look for stuff related to a turret. Or compare the Dread with the V3.

LOL... Modding basics people!!!

This is as mundane as it gets in RA2 and okay I give you a hint, look at its weapon, something there does what you desire. Razz

Would Omnifire=no work on aircraft like the harrier?

Non-Omnifiring Aircraft isnt usually a good idea unless your making it a strafing run bomber unit it'll make their attacking buggy and more prone to AA Fire.

From what I tired, giving Omnifire=no and FlyBy=true and all that still didn't make an aircraft only fire if facing the target.
By the way, it is a AA fighter with a laser, and it has Burst 2 + Ammo 2. On the second shot it usually would ignore the Omnifire=no and fire sideways when turning...
