more mod help

[Sir. Crackerjam]

Hey, I need some more help with my modding if you guys dont mine, I have a missile ready, but I want it to drop out, free fall for a few seconds, then jet off at its target, can I do that? and if so how?


Thanks for all the help so far,
Crackerjam

In the missle there's a start up time, same stuff is in the PR vehicles. im @ school right now so i dont know the code :P maybe someone else can help you.

--edit--

had some bf2 files on my extern hd, try editing ObjectTemplate.startDelay .

[Sir. Jameslcfc]

Also, could you keep all your questions in one thread please?

[Sir. Crackerjam]

K, ill keep my mod help posts in this thread, and thanks apache ill try that now :-D

[Sir. Crackerjam]

well, that doesn't work right, it still accelerates when it drops no matter what, that just changes the time for the trail to start so I guess I wont be doing that, and I have another question, how can I change the vehicle that drops when you select it from the commander thing?

Thanks

[Bullace]

Vehicle drop is done in the map, go to the map, server.zip and open init.con

sometimes (sf maps) it's done in the gamemode, server.zip/gamemodes/gpm_cq/64/

[Sir. Crackerjam]

awwww, thats gunna be annoying in the long run lol, thanks though.

[Bullace]

not rly, takes 10 seconds per map.

[Sir. Crackerjam]

well, ya but when I distribute ill have to include the maps x.x (1 gig download oh noes), anywho, I tried to make it drop the artillery thing from NAW 5.0 and it just crashes when I click the vehicle drop button, I ran it in windowed mode and no message just straight crash, any ideas on whats wrong? Thanks.

[Bullace]

1. You probably imported the vehicle wrong or forgot a file.
2. If your using normal bf2 maps you can take the info folder with the init.con and the server.zip, it will load the client/pics from the bf2 mod folder.
3. If you want to release your minimod i don't think it's a good idea to use N@W stuff :/ or did they allowed you to use it?? :0

[Sir. Crackerjam]

well, im not really planning to release it, and if I do ill have to ask ALOT of people If I can use there stuff x.x lol, and how can I tell what im missing? the 1st 2 times I loaded it without changing the maps init.con file it gave me errors saying I was missing things, and I put them in and it was all good, but now....I got nothin

well...I decided to scrap that idea for now..., so I tried to edit the map a little(dalian plant) and add the arty vehicle on the carrier, but nay I cant figure out how to add a vehicle spawn point, anyone got a video or something that can show me? or can explain it to me here? Thanks.

[Bullace]

'-___- go look around at bfeditor.org

[Sir. Crackerjam]

lol, I just used google and found it out....go figure

[Sir. Crackerjam]

Well, I got another problem I just cant figure out, how can I make it so the artillery launches a missile, straight up, and sets something so the missile knows where to go when its tracking kicks in (...trackingDelay 20 or something like that)


Thanks

[Bullace]

Change
ObjectTemplate.setMaxSpeed 60/0/0
ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration 300/0/0

Im not sure if you should take 300 down to like 10 or get it up to something like 1000 :p

(not sure but can also be the speed of the artillary point up XP

(ohyeah... stuff is done in objects_server.zip/weapons/stationary/USART_LW155/USART_LW155.tweak )

[Sir. Crackerjam]

Er....thats not what I meant lol all I need to know is how to make the artillery just fire out a pre-made missile. I made it so the missile will track any ground vehicle from really far away, so I want the artillery to just shoot missiles straight up and when the missiles tracking kicks in they will go to the target themselves, so....just how do I make the arty fire straight up no matter where the end target is, and work right...ya....lets go with that. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks again.

[Sir. Crackerjam]

I think my thread died....*CPR!*
