Seems that only Vehicles with BalloonHover=yes can use the diskdrain weapon efficiently. If anyone can come up with a solution...? All plausable ideas are welcome!
animation=diskray,infdiskray will not work, and you cannot use diskray with ground units unless you disable the vertical=yes tag in the art entry for it.
i wanted to make a hacker once..my idea..make him like spy with make up kit weapon...
when delpoyed he has hacking weapon...it would be yuris mind control but the idea was to hack in to commands and tell the troops where to go..even if it took them in wronge direction...what u got going on sounds better ..only its more like a hacker/thief..ill keep it in mind to make the thief in my mod.
this MIGHT help u...what bout arching projectile??? remeber just a thought :/
Yeah, that might work. I'll try disabling the anim and giving it an arcing projectile that's also verticle. If I don't crack this by wednesday, I'll just make it a spy and give it an emp weapon
normally the warhead has a line mindcontrol=yes if you want to remove the line that appears between the units, then i dont know but look for lines on the projectile and in the art.ini for any animations it uses.
