FireFLHs

Agent Z · Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 7:25 pm Post subject: FireFLHs

Is there a way to set more than 2 (Primary)FireFLHs on a weapon?
More specifically I'm looking for a way to launch 4 spawned missiles from 4 places.
AlternateFLHX Didn't work as I tried.
I also tried to use SecondSpawnOffset, but still the missiles only launched from 2 places.

Nope, not with vanilla YR or Ares. You can with NPExt though.

In that case I will have to make it hard to see where the missiles are launched from...

use turretspins and omnifire
This way you can let the missiles fire from up to 32 different spots in a ring shape. (needs an invisible dummy turret or a turret which looks like a spinning radar)

The unit only fires straight forward, so that would not work.
It is very simlar to the MLRS from Tiberian Dawn, but with no turret, uses spawned missiles and has 4 launching pods.

Ares also have CyclicGattling now. We call it Gattling.Cycle tho. http://ares-developers.github.io/Ares-docs/new/gattlingcycle.html

I'm skeptical, but does this really work? So damn awesome if that's the case. #Tongue

I assume we can use this to mimick multiple FLH? How though? Different stages with different FLH and really fast rate?

Its better he use an omni-directional muzzle anim too.

You can also use GattlingCycle and use all 6 slots. (3 for Anti-ground & 3 for Anti-Air) that gives you up to 2 possible locations per Weapon Slot.

Something is not working...
I tried this;

IsGattling=yes
Gattling.Cycle=yes
TurretCount=1
WeaponCount=4

Weapon1=APMLauncher
EliteWeapon1=APMLauncherE
Weapon2=
EliteWeapon2=
Weapon3=APMLauncher
EliteWeapon3=APMLauncherE
Weapon4=
EliteWeapon4=

WeaponStages=2

Stage1=3
Stage2=3

EliteStage1=3
EliteStage2=3

RateUp=1
RateDown=6

and

PrimaryFireFLH=-5,30,90
ElitePrimaryFireFLH=-5,30,90
Weapon1FLH=-5,30,90
Weapon2FLH=
Weapon3FLH=-14,30,150
Weapon4FLH=
EliteWeapon1FLH=-5,30,90
EliteWeapon2FLH=
EliteWeapon3FLH=-14,30,150
EliteWeapon4FLH=

but it still fires from only primary FireFLH. Maybe it doesn't work too well with spawned missiles...

Try increasing the rate of reload so that its instantaneous... That or its not a good choice for MissileSpawners.

Stage2 should be 6 not 3.

I forgot that it continues to count after the weapon stage.
But still, it fires as if there was Burst=4, ignoring that the weapon has Burst=2 and ROF=70...(it does this even without gatling.)

[APMLLauncher]
Damage=1
ROF=70
Range=12
Spawner=yes
Projectile=InvisibleAPML
Speed=10
Burst=2
MinimumRange=5
Warhead=Special
Report=BoomerAttack1
;LaserInnerColor=255,5,5 ;Target Lasers does not work either...
;LaserDuration=20
;IsLaser=true

It seems to read
Spawns=APMLMISL
SpawnsNumber=4 <----- this as if its supposed to fire all 4 at the same time. I intended to make it fire 2, then wait a short moment, then fire 2 more, then reload new missiles.
SpawnRegenRate=800
SpawnReloadRate=0

Also there appears an issue with the sound, since it keeps playing the first frame of BoomerAttack1 in a loop when it has no missiles, but has a target.
When it loses its target or is told to move, it plays the whole sound.

For individualized weapons on gattling you need to add a new anim then attach the report on that new animation.

Normally the gatling weapons uses a looping order.

I found that I can also use AuxSound1= since its a spawned missile.
