Grouping weapons

Sun Oct 17, 2004 5:21 pm by cadastra

Does anyone know how to group weapons together & save that grouping? - basically i want to be able to fire a Cannonball, Firestalker & Sunslayer Torpedo & drop a Ripper all at the same time with one button. The controls have "Assign Weapon Group 1" etc, and I have set up a binding to put them all on button 1, but then when you activate your guns again all that happens is button 1 fires the weapons that are activated, not the ones you just assigned to button 1.

You just have to0 monkey around with the key bindings to it right. I have it set up so that pressing 1 or 3 gives me the weapons I assigned to that group by selecting the weapons and pressing Ctrl+1, 2, 3 etc.

Unfortunately this area of code seems to be a little rough, as when you die/dock with anything but Group 1 selected, it throws them out of whack. Kinda annoying.

Thanks, it is kind of whacky isn't it - middle of a battle press a key and it's a complete lucky dip what happens lol

Personally I don't see the point in weapon groups. You might want something like 2 groups, one for guns and one for missiles, but the Q key fires all available missiles anyway...
