Is there a way to put in the projectile editor a choice that makes the projectile follow an object nearest if any (but no the shooter!)? Edit: forgot the question mark! Edited: 08 December 2005 12:58 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Well you can already sort of do that as a non-projectile. Make a missle object which has a short-ranged explosive projectile and with a health of 1. then it will achieve the same effect. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Well, I meant as a real projectile, like one, that can be shot with an uber for example. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I thought of a way to do this, but i have yet to try it. I thought of his way, and another. Spawn a projectile form a coordinate of your choice, and set it to go to the players coordinates, which are always moving. Or some other things. But i havent looked at the script file in awhile, so i dont know if there is a spawn projectile script, or a projectile follow script. Other then that, it works. Now if James could implament this into, or make the scripts, then it could be easy. You could also have swarm weapons. Like spawn 10 or so projectiles, say bullets, and they will follow the player till they reach him. Or you could use rocket swarms.... o_O longest post i ever think ive written here...

Generally I think this is a great idea and it could be implemented at some stage. Perhaps a laser guided option could work well, just like the rocket launcher in Half-Life. Just think of the deathmatch games! You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Well its better then chickens that keep following you...or other random objects... like alek....... EDIT: while using the shot-gun (Pprcuts of course (love that weapon)) i thought of this idea. Make the bullet count like 20 or 30 or so, then fire one shot, with homing bullets. Pure. Havic. Lots of little bullets flying around with the power to kill you in one shot  (this place needs REAL smileys) so dam cool...Edited: 10 December 2005 06:46 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

HAHAHA! Did you know that you <b>could</b> make a script that can make a random object follow you? SC_SetObjectFollow(SC_Random(0,ObjectCount),SC_GetPlayerObjectId()); It's not a hard one. ObjectCount is the number of the objects on your map Edited: 10 December 2005 11:21 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I prefer not to have the homing projectiles, but the laser guided ones like on Half-Life would be fantastic.

Yeah homing missiles are cheap, but the laser guided missles would be a nice addition. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I just implemented object based projectiles, but you can't guild them. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

The idea is to make a challenge for the player. A game won't last for long if you have a shotgun with a super wide spread that is as good as the 50 cal minigun. Yes a laser guided missle would be cheap in some ways unless it almost perfectly simulated the half-life one in the essence that you only guide it left, right, up, and down. Not forward and backward.

maybe make the missle move fast, so that its hard to steer. This would prevent one player standing by a rocket respawn point and killing everyone else...Thats if you use a homing missle like the AT-420 Sentinel...

As for the heat-seeking...it should only follow players when within about 400 yards or so...should multi-rocket laser guidance be allowed? O_o I mean, you point and some allies fire laser guided rockets...do all of the rockets go for the same target, or do the AI of your allies control them?
