[Solved]V3 Launcher to work with FireOnce?
obviously V3 is not simple unit, as it uses weapon to spawn a rocket, which is a "unit" itself - so is there a way to make such launcher to fire once and "forget" the target? tried adding FireOnce=yes to weapon - no effect.

It's a hardcoded and you can't change the way they behaved unless Ares in the next patch or AlexB decide to do something.
One reason and could be main reason is projectile or weapon not actually fires but use for basic targeting stuff. The rest is rely on the missile.
@Mr.Hymn so currently even Ares has no easy way to solve this, right?
@TAK02 well V3 weapon does have low ROF too, but as it's long range retargeting wouldn't really make it "make only one shot and wait for orders", as there other targets in range.(if i understand this command logic correcty) QUICK_EDIT
V3 has two parts: the targeting/spawning weapon with its own ROF (not that it matters...) and a respawn delay.
I can't name the flag; look through V3's section; you'll find it. QUICK_EDIT
yeap, i know v3 has SpawnRegenRate for reload time, but that's not the matter - i'm interested not in long reload, but in "one shot and get calm".
the thing is i'm experimenting with making V3-like stealth unit and want it to get cloaked while standing, but after shooting V3 stays in "attack stance" and doesn't get cloaked until i manually make it stop targeting = that's the problem. QUICK_EDIT
gattling can somehow stop targetting? as far as i know, it's only about stages of attack, plus V3 is uses "respawn" of rocket and doesn't really care about weapon..
my main goal is to make V3 get cloaked in between shooting - if it constantly targets, it doesn't get cloaked. that's why i need it to shoot once and stop targetting. QUICK_EDIT
What cxtian says works, make first weapon V3 launcher, give 2nd weapon FireOnce=yes and it will forget target:
Code:
IsGattling=yes
Spawns=V3ROCKET
SpawnsNumber=1
SpawnRegenRate=400
SpawnReloadRate=0 ; missile spawn don't come back
NoSpawnAlt=yes ; alternate voxel for out of spawns: xxxxWO (V3WO)
make first weapon V3 launcher, give 2nd weapon FireOnce=yes and it will forget target.
oh i see, should work, thanks for explanation.!
for anyone else who will want to do same trick: yet you need to edit art.ini with Weapon_FLH, for rocket launch animation start in proper position. QUICK_EDIT
Spawns=V3ROCKET
SpawnsNumber=1
SpawnRegenRate=400
SpawnReloadRate=0 ; missile spawn don't come back
NoSpawnAlt=yes ; alternate voxel for out of spawns: xxxxWO (V3WO)
2 questions arose, maybe you can help?
1. RateDown=385 as i understand this number comes from 400(SpawnRegenRate)-15(Stage1/Stage2) =it must be exactly like this? does 385 really matter or it's just large number to shut down gattling faster?
2. after adding this kind of code to unit with cloak, i noticed sometimes it "skips attack"(decloaks, does nothing, cloaks again), and almost never attacks if send to attack through "schedule"(Z shortcut). it seems to be definitely about gattling parameters, but can't figure out what to tweak..(tried increasing Stage2 number, didn't fix it) QUICK_EDIT
A small tidbit unrelated to your two questions, but WeaponX tags always need their EliteWeaponX tag to be defined. Without EliteWeaponX tags, this unit would crash the game when it fired for the first time as an Elite experience unit. QUICK_EDIT

Apologies, I flipped the Stages and Rates when I wrote it, should be Stage1=1
Stage2=385
RateUp=15
RateDown=15
No it doesn't have to be exactly this, I just made up a number. RateUp/Down are per frame, so if you wanted it to wait for the vanilla V3 to be ready, you could change it all to 1 or something and give Weapon2 the same ROF as SpawnRegenRate.
Also yes, as m7 says, if your unit has veterancy or can possibly be forced to gain veterancy, you need to add EliteWeaponX, EliteStageX, like on vanilla gattling tank. I didn't include it for sake of saving time. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT
