Proximity & Firing Out of Buildings ?
2 Questions,
[1] I've given the Flak Trooper the ability to occupy buildings but once inside he has a missile that can only shoot out of the building at ground targets, but it's not working.
[2] I'm trying to get a bomb truck with a nuke to be able to destroy aircraft in the air and Rocketeer near the target using the proximity code, but it's not working either.
[SOVMissileLauncher]
Damage=250
ROF=125
Range=27 (Occupy weapons all need to have the same range, which is set by OccupyWeaponRange=)
Burst=1 (remove this, you only need it if you want to fire more then 1 projectile at a time)
Projectile=AirToGroundMissile ;AAHeatSeeker3
Speed=40
Warhead=SOVMissileWH
Report=SCSMissile
TurboBoost=yes (remove this, it's only used on AA weapons)
MinimumRange=1 (as above range needs to be the same on all Occupy weapons so remove this)
[SOVMissileWH]
Wall=yes
Wood=yes
Verses=100%,100%,100%,100%,75%,100%,50%,50%,50%,100%,100%
Conventional=yes
Rocker=yes
Fire=yes (This is leftover from TS & in vanilla RA2 this tag wont do anything, You need to add Fire3.SHP & the relevant code to your mod to make it usable)
InfDeath=4
;AnimList=S_CLSN30
AnimList=XGRYSML1,XGRYSML2,EXPLOSML,XGRYMED1,XGRYMED2,EXPLOMED,EXPLOLRG,TWLT070
ProneDamage=50%
CellSpread=2;gs patch
PercentAtMax=.5;gs patch
Not sure what you are trying to do with the bomb truck, Proximity= is leftover code from TD/RA1 & doesn't do anything in RA2.
Without going into a complex explanation on how the code works, basically aircraft fly to high to be effected by a CellSpread=11 weapon. You either need to use Ares & increase the CellSpread= to 12 or higher (11 is the max in vanilla RA2) or change FlightLevel= to 1280 or less for the weapon to effect aircraft. _________________
When you use Fire=yes it makes the game spawn the FIRE3 anim at the location the warhead detonated.
The code for FIRE3 has been edited out of the RA2 Rules(md).ini file though. To enable it you need to add FIRE3 back to the [Animations] list.
There is already art(md).ini code for FIRE3 but you might want to edit it, as it's transparent which can cause the game to lag. The FIRE3 anim will also cause damage to any objects occupying the same cell as the anim, which you might not want too.
On a sidenote, FIRE3 (along with FIRE1 & FIRE2) is also used by the Flamer, Scorch & Sparky code from TS, which are all broken in RA2 but fixed by Ares. _________________
