guys..did u notice those guided missiles which were still flying would just disappear when its target died?
I`v found a way to make them detonate with a FX or even OCL (pieces of debris?) in this case...

if just for FX:
add "DetonateCallsKill = Yes" in MissileAIUpdate & it will play the fx within DeathTypes = ALL -LASERED -DETONATED
(by default,coz i`m not sure whats the deathtype for just disappear in air,if anyone knows....please let me know...)

if for FX&OCL:
to OCL is same as above,add OCL=.. within DeathTypes = ALL -LASERED -DETONATED...but in order to prevent the missile OCL even when it do hits the target, must add "MissileCallsOnDie = Yes" in its weapon codes
(& by doing this will not cancle any other OCLs which should be created when the missile hits its target)



& I think there is a better way for gattlings vs. countermeasure...
say we can make gattling shoots invisable smallmissile projectiles...& make this smallmissile kindof= unattackable....so avengers will not mess with it..but it will still try follow the flares..


What u think? please let me know...

Very nice ideas you've posted there. The "vanished-missile-problem" really is annoying, thanks for the hints

Can you just make it so the missiles keep flying until they go offscreen or something?

just ocl an object with Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING INHERIT_VELOCITY using this missile model...& attach the particle system for missile`s exhaust on this object + a long long lifetime of course
Ps: with lots of this object will surely slow down ur game speed...

Just wondering, is it possible to make the missile still fly towards its target's last location and detonate there? That would be nice so that large missiles (ie - Tomahawk) would still deal splash damage to any other vehicles that happened to be close to the destroyed target.

Nice stuff still.

try this...
OCL the "original" missile as above & give it a FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior then add KillWhenRestingOnGround = Yes in it`s PhysicsBehavior

the missile will looked to be flying forward & hitground &detonate...unless it aimed upwards when the target dead..
dont forget the COLLIDEs

Another try to explain myself ! This probably will be easier.

Adding - DetonateCallsKill = Yes
To WeaponObjects.ini
In the Patriot Missile code

Makes the patriot missiles detonate with a big cloud.
An hour ago I got it so the missiles detonate as a laser effect.
I don't know how.

Anyone?

Ok, after 1 hour of testing with 50+ startups for Zero Hour I almost have it. The "Laser effect" is done.

You see the brown things "in" the laser?
That's what I mean with flying projectiles, I don't want them appear..
But this is probably something difficult because it uses the detonation type like the Avenger does?

Hmm and another "problem" is.
When the Avenger disables a missile, a big cloud will still be produced, this is also with the Paladin tank. This is because DetonateCallsKill = Yes is added, so i'm going to try to remove it so it will be normal again
Ill update it in about 12 hours because I have drivers lessons and stuff like that.



I have it.
