LockOn

A question from my friend:

I have a problem ,my mouse doesn't work very well. So sometimes it takes me over 2 minutes to kill somebody.
Is there any way to make some sort of lock on to the target so it would be easyer to aim?
Thanks for any help.

So, that was the question from my friend...

You just have to click on the name of that ship you want to destroy or you can left click on the ship itself that's how you lock it!

yes.... it was your Friend....<cough> <cough>

Try cleaning your mouse too.
Or spend 30 bucks to get a laser mouse.

Hmm, run it through my translator and:

"I have a problem ,my mouse doesn't work very well. So sometimes it takes me over 2 minutes to kill somebody.
Is there any way to make some sort of lock on to the target so it would be easyer to aim?"


Comes out as:

"I have a problem, I'm trying to make an auto-aim hack since sometimes I can't hit anything even with my obscenely hacked ship on a clean server. Is there a way to make it so the computer will aim for me and all I have to do is press the mouse button, I'm sick of getting killed by people who aren't using hacked ships."

It's funny in a way though, it would be like taking your car to the shop and saying, "I have a flat tire, can you just remove that wheel and turn my car into a trike?"

why are you starting that? Jeez, since your going and pointing fingers, it makes me suspicios that you hack or something.

Victor, I have two words for you.


STFU NOOB!

Post Tue Jul 01, 2003 3:51 am

He has seven times more posts than you so look who's talking bladedragon. You are the noob or else you would have come to the same conclusion before Victor did. Either way his point is quite valid and ture. If he was really having a problem he could just get a new mouse without a warrenty, it costs only 25 cents.
The only reason you made that post is so that somebody else posts the information and you can also use the cheat.

Hey, give him a little credit, he's one of a sparse few people here who actually use proper capitalization and punctuation. Unfortunately, he lost me with the "two words" I allways assumed STFU was an acronym, so technically it's either five words or one acronym and one word.

Well, that should get him nice and fired up now.

As for pointing fingers? Nah, I was just making assumptions. The whole thing is really funny though, after all it's not everyday a true story starts with, "My friend has a problem..."

Hehehe. I suggest "your friend" gets a new mouse.

No way to make a lock-on system.

Or well, "he" could make all the weapons track, like missiles, but that would be stupid.

Well, in the FL Rebalance Mod, I noticed that the Liberty Plasma Turrets(Well, the Lavablade) automatically tracked the enemy. Unfortnatly, they don't fire withe the right mouse. You must use the Q key
