stationary gun mounts

Wed Jul 23, 2003 3:02 pm by seawolfe02

has anyone figured out how to make gun hardpoints completely stationary? I have been able to restrict the left and right movement but not the elevatory (up and down) movement of the gun. (Axis does not affect elevation .. it affects the axis of ration for left /right movement).
I'm not worried about pin-point weapons fire as the constants.ini entry MUZZLE_CONE_ANGLE gives all gun weapons a 40 degree arc of fire by default (you could create a pinpoint firing arcs by decreasing this .. in effect making it so that your ship moves but doesn't fire unless the target is in the firing arc).

Check out Liberty Cruiser. Its forward gun may be a good example.

You specify it gun by gun in weapon_equip.ini. For example, say you want the stealthblade to be fixed forward. All you'd have to do is find the stealthblade, and set force_gun_ori = true.

If you only want a gun on a specific fighter to be locked forwarad (say, without messing up every NPC who uses that gun) then just make a new gun with the same stats except for force_gun_ori.

OK, this is useful information, but suppose I want all weapons on a specific hardpoint to have no rotation. For example, I want to lock 2 hardpoints so they do not rotate no matter what weapon is mounted. In effect, making the hardpoints only useful for missles. Any ideas?
