Servus ...
i have created an MLRS...

but there are some problems which must be solved...
i want an realistic turretpitch...
not like the Scudlauncher and not like the tomahawk...
^^How to ?
I hope the folowing print will help to explain my problem...

And question #2 is how to make the rockets fly in an round bow to the target ???

I just forget to add that we still need an Skinner for our team...
SO plz help us to skin these "wonderful" (eigenlob stinkt...) models...

Behavior = AIUpdateInterface ModuleTag_04
Turret
TurretTurnRate = 100
TurretPitchRate = 100
AllowsPitch = Yes
FirePitch = 45
ControlledWeaponSlots = PRIMARY
End

just change the underlined to the angle you want

I don't think julle wants a fixed turret firing pitch for all ranges, he wants a dynamic range change depending on the distance from MLRS to the target, which I do not know how to implement.

If I'm not mistaken, the Tech Artillery Platform had a barrel that changes pitch depending on where the target is. Don't take my word for it though.


The Commanche has that rocket pod thingy where each rocket fires at a particular point that is determined in the ini's. You could have the missles spread out that way.


As for having the missles bowing around the target, the Dragon tank's turret moves around when firing. You could have the MRLS do the same thing with the missles but just don't have the turret itself move. The missles could then home in to their particular destinations.

That may look a little odd with the missles coming out cockeyed from the turret.

For the round bow I'd use the "DumbProjectileBehavior" instead of the MissileAIUpdate. With this one you can perfectly simulate a long distance flight of MLRS' rockets.

yea i want an dynamic change of the pitch which is depending on the distance to the target...

And on that too...

It must look like an real turret pitch...
look at the excellent battlefield mod Desert combat...
it must look like that...

okey i checked all the things out for a second time and i get it working...




okey now it works but how to resize the smoke you see on the pics.?
size does not work...

[Godwin]

off topic, but nice models there, what poly count does the abrams have anyway?

[beng]

Here is my own version of the MLRS, very low poly count model, my polygon count is 217 for the MLRS model, compared with 245 for crusader (avleopard) and 253 for paladin.

I used transparent alpha_test textures for the sides so you can see the treads animating under the model, unlike most of EA games American tanks where you cannot see the treads.

It is in a mini mod which gives it 7 kinds of weapons:

12 x XM31 GMLRS rockets with 200lb unitary warheads
12 x M30 GMLRS rockets with M85 DPICM submunitions

upgradable to:

2 x ATACMS block I wtih M74 cluster bombs
2 x ATACMS block II with 13 BAT anti tank guided submunitions
2 x ATACMS block IV with 500lb unitary warhead

There are new particle effects including particles for the missile container lid pieces blowing off at launch time, missile backblast and ground and launcher dust clouds, and more spectacular explosions. There are anatomically correct models for all the munitions too.
