really kickass missles

Fri Apr 18, 2003 8:35 pm by bishop404

If anybody reading this has seen Gundam, remember the missles from that.

What i did was make the reload rate almost nothing (<0.1), put up the accelleration to 500-600, made the max angular velocity 300-500 (still needs to be tweaked, all the missles hit at 500), and set the fov to 180. I also had to make the ammo infinite (50 is way too few), and put the damage way down (or else i couldn't watch the pretty missles

)

In testing, i used the stalker missle as a starting point and put four of em on a phoenix. Just pound away on the fire button (or run along the number keys for a better swarm effect) and enjoy. I think this is one of the coolest weapon effects i've seen in pretty much any game.

Heres a screenshot:

Some of my original numbers were kinda high...
I've got the max angular velocity at 3 now, and the missle fov at 30 degrees. That works a lot better, as in some missles actually miss.
I also put the motor lifetime down to .25

Now THAT is really quite undescribably awesome.

lol. I was trying to get the missles to fire, sit next to/just under my ship for a fraction of a second and then accellerate, so i gave them a negative muzzle velocity......bad idea......they shot backwards but were trying to go forwards, sorta. So instead of dropping back and accellerating forward like i intended, they dropped back and never went forward again.

Cowboy Bebop?!? More like Macross! Keep up the good work!

Sat Apr 19, 2003 8:37 am by supermoose

havent heard of "Macross" but if you say so! I feel like Fay while letting go of that many missiles... only differences are that our ships are different... and she has an ammo limit and ammo cost! heheh ;-)
