Issue, jets damaging themselves.

Currently my jets have a very low chance to damage themselves for some reason. The issue is not reliably recreatable but it happens. It happens to both split & standard missiles.

Of course I could use AffectsOwner=no on the missiles, but I don't want them to be unable to damage friendly units.

Is there anything you can think of that might be involved regarding this issue?

Try TypeImmune? Vanilla dolphin uses it to prevent damage to friendly doplhins.

If you are using Ares, try AA=no on the airburst projectile if you don't want it to hit air targets, or RetargetSelf=no to just prevent the firer get hit by its own weapon, though a group of them may still cause friendly fire as they can target each other.

Also, is the warhead using a large CellSpread? This can also lead to your situation when the jet doesn't get out of the explosion zone.

Don't know your code but normally weapon is not able to damage/affect the firer.

You may want to speed up the Acceleration on the projectile and adjust the FLH so it's faster than the unit itself and not being fired from within the unit. Otherwise if the projectile isn't hitting it and it's just the aoe, as Virgil said, TypeImmune=yes on the unit should fix that.

But then the jet can't be attacked/damaged when it's loading up, docked to the Helipad.

What are you talking about?
From ModEnc:
" ... the TypeImmune=Yes flag will render an object immune to damage (but not targetting) from a weapon on a unit of the same identity and owner."

A vanilla [ORCA] works perfectly fine with TypeImmune on it. Just can't be damaged by other ORCA you own, opponents still damage it.

Yea I have noticed depending on weapon type, an aircraft firing with other aircraft overlapping the cell will damage the others, missiles with high ROT seem to be the biggest culprit.

TypeImmune does help there.

Apologies for the late reply. TypeImmune definitely seems like the best thing do to. Cheers!
