ok well we've got a kirov and to start with i had it able to drop bombs. but. it couldnt attack buildigns and the bombs would fly of at a tanget if u attack infront of the kirov. but wouldnt if u attacked directly below.

now i've been tweaking away (i had used the aurora bomb for it) at it and changed it to what i thought would be a dumb bomb by using the napalm bomb. but now when i attack no bomb apears and i still can't attack buildings.

heres the weapon and weapon object code. i would be much obliged for any help.


Weapon KirovBomb
PrimaryDamage = 200.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 15.0

ProjectileDetonationFX = FX_AuroraBombDetonate
RadiusDamageAffects = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS NOT_SIMILAR
DelayBetweenShots = 1

; note, these only apply to units that aren't the explicit target
; (ie, units that just happen to "get in the way"... projectiles
; always collide with the Designated Target, regardless of these flags
ProjectileCollidesWith = STRUCTURES
End

you couild try it with my carpet bombing logic

thanx man testing it out now

[scythe3000]

ok at least i'm bombing now. but thers a smal circle beneif the kirov where i can attack and instead of the kirov moving there the bomb goes of at a tanget. and still is. and i still can't attack buildings.

; it may seem odd to have a "bomb" with a Locomotor, especially a Thrust locomotor,

Have you thought about the Helix' bomb? That drops directly down, doesn't it?

[scythe3000]

yeah i tried to use teh helix bomb at first. but its not like a normal wepon. and when i used the helix bomb weaponboject it just made the whole thing invisiable and nothing blew up. made a noise though

[scythe3000]

seriously can someone help me out here. all the code is there if u add it into your own code for the helix it'll help u understand whats going on. please poeple i'm loosing hair over this.

[Phoib]

Helix bomb.

Look better. The Helix clearly shows it works.

[sc4freak]

Why not have a turret which faces directly downwards and doesn't turn?

[scythe3000]

both of those aren't the problem. i'm already using the helix bomb code and it still flys of at a tangent plus it still doesn't attack buildings.
