hmm. is there any way to mount something like that on an airplane? because my mod is going to have the air forces new toy, the Airborne LASER, designed to shoot down enemy missiles like SCUD's and enemy aircraft.

I got my version work great also!

Last night I perfected it.

[main_concept]

Here's my Titan tank! equiped with dual laser turrets!
im havin a problem though, it only shooting from one turret! both barrels recoil but the lasers fire from one turret only!

[Redattack3]

try using a secondary weapon so that the secondary fires from the bone in the other turret.

Grabs the code to play with it

No No you don't use secondary for a dual cannon here is how you do it:

If you got a dual cannon tank you got recoil bones and flash bones for example lets say it is named Barrel01 and Barrel02 if you want the weapon to fire from both like the mammoth tank you would do the following:

      
      WeaponFireFXBone    = PRIMARY Barrel
      WeaponMuzzleFlash   = PRIMARY Barrel
      WeaponLaunchBone    = PRIMARY Barrel

See how their is no number that tells the game to use all bones named Barrel. That way it will use the two barrels to fire from hell you could make 4 barrels.

i see. now does anybody know if you can put something like this on an aircraft?

[NMKraves]

I tried putting it on an aircraft, I wanted it to act like the Paladin laser for it could shoot down enemy missles. But I failed horribly, when ever it goes to shoot the game crashes. :tard:

NM What is the error message in the crash file?

Don't remember, I did some tweaking and now it doesn't crash anymore. But now the plane acts as if it doesn't even have a primary weapon. Perhaps maybe because aircraft fire differently than say infantry or tanks? So could it be that I have to change ParentFireBoneName = Muzzle01

Draw = W3DLaserDraw ModuleTag_01

NumBeams = 3 ;Number of overlapping cylinders that make the beam. 1 beam will just use inner data.

InnerBeamWidth = 1 ;The total width of beam
InnerColor = R:255 G:255 B:255 A:250 ;The inside color of the laser (hot)

OuterBeamWidth = 2 ;The total width of beam
OuterColor = R:0 G:0 B:255 A:150 ;The outside color of the laser (cool)

;@todo -- add shot ability functionality (instead of instant point A to B)

;Used as a weapon, this is essentially a fast pulse laser. Adjusting
;the lifetime values will determine how long it renders. The damage
;is applied immediately, so lifetime doesn't matter.
Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_03
MinLifetime = 95 ; min lifetime in msec
MaxLifetime = 95 ; max lifetime in msec
End

End

ParentFireBoneName = Muzzle01
This is the most important code! Most units have Muzzle01 for its FireWeaponBone so Muzzle01 should work for most units.
