ZLO... Missile as its name implies has the means to seek, otherwise it be just another dumb rocket now wouldn't it?

However ever their are a few major differences between anti-air and TML's.
- Anti-Air missiles do not share intl back to the firing unit and filter their targets solely based on range.
- TML's can share intel about what's at their current location and filter their targets based on the targeting priorities of the firing weapon.

Please keep in mind that this isn't part of this mod yet but could easily be if I had a day to sit down and script it. Overall though, I think this would realistically and accurately model the tracking behavior of real missiles and TML's.

Comments suggestions to help balance and prevent abuse are welcome.

Back to topic : Resin if memory serves there already was a retargetting TML in 4DC for Cybran wasn't it ? If yes what is the difference between the old and the new one ?


That TML was for the seraphim and basically pulled every dirty trick in the book to get a kill.

The FAF TML's will be toned down somewhat having not modifications to damage or spec.

Good work pal.. well done ;)

auto targeting TML's, sounds good.

Just think, swarms of smart re-targeting TML's that are fired at nothing in particular will streak across the map in search of a victim!

Sweet, Ill test this out as soon as I can



Awesome!

After more play testing I've discovered that some SAM's are much better then others.

Here are my rankings:

UEF: Tracking weapon. Low damage, 6 projectiles, fast firing rate, OKC effect is profound, totally shredds masses of small fighters.

CYBRAN: tracking weapon, med damage, 4 projectiles, med firing rate, OKC effect is very noticeable, very good vs small / med fighters.

AEON: Tracking weapon, med damage, 2 projectiles, med firing rate, OKC effects is good, strong vs med / large fighters.

SERAPHIM: Direct fire weapon that's high damage, slow firing, with slow projectile speed. Updating the firing priorities could help as would allowing the projectile to detonate like a flack weapon.

FAF OKC, Public Release (v0.1) download link http://www.mediafire.com/download/bh3df ... AF_OKC.rar

I've also uploaded this to the mod vault!

Only play tested this lightly and just so you know this doesn't work for the Sera as their T3 launcher is direct fire and does not use tracking missiles. Instead I gave them a 0.25 damage radius so they can hit multiple units that are stacked in a small location.

One thing I've done here is use the ProjectileLifetimeUsesMultiplier if it's present in the unit blueprint. What this does is act as a multi for what ever LifeTime is set within the projectiles blueprint. Hence if this is available it will override the standard ProjectileLifetime held in the unit blueprint weapons section.

In the above our sam has a weapon lifetime multi of "1.25" while the projectile blueprint shows "4"... (1.25 * 4 = 5)

This way i can use either the standard LifeTime of the weapon or the multi'd LifeTime of the projectile if it's available.

Here is the script:
Code:
PassDamageData = function( self, damageData )
      local myDebug = true
      if myDebug or masterDebug then
         LOG('*** projectile.lua, PassDamageData ***')
         LOG('   Game time is: ', GetGameTimeSeconds() )         
      end      
      --> Run old first to ensure that data from weapon.lua is being passed into projectile DamageData
      oldProjectile.PassDamageData( self, damageData )
      --> Ensure that projectiles used as props or nukes dont trigger the passing of extra data
      if self.DamageData.DamageAmount > 1 and not self.damageData.Weapon.NukeWeapon then
         if myDebug or masterDebug then
            LOG('   Passing extra data')      
         end
         --> Pass extra data into self.DamageData      
         self.DamageData.Instigator = damageData.Instigator
         self.DamageData.Target = damageData.Target
         self.DamageData.Weapon = damageData.Weapon
           --> Use lifetime multiplier if avalible
           if self.DamageData.Weapon.ProjectileLifetimeUsesMultiplier > 0 then
            if myDebug or masterDebug then
               LOG('   Adjusting for ProjectileLifetimeUsesMultiplier')
            end            
              self.DamageData.Weapon.ProjectileLifetime = ( self.MyBP.Physics.Lifetime or self.DamageData.Weapon.ProjectileLifetime or 1 ) * ( self.DamageData.Weapon.ProjectileLifetimeUsesMultiplier or 1 )
           else
            if myDebug or masterDebug then
               LOG('   Using default self.DamageData.Weapon.ProjectileLifetime')
            end               
           end           
           --> Run OKC threads or bypass if its a normal projectile
           if self.DamageData and self.DamageData.Weapon.OKC_Retargeting then
            if myDebug or masterDebug then       
                 LOG('   OKC_Retargeting: ', repr( self.DamageData.Weapon.OKC_Retargeting ) )
                 LOG('   OKC Projectile found, forking to "self.ProjHeartBeat" ')
              end               
             --> Kick off main OKC thread
             --self:ForkThread( self.ProjHeartBeat )
           else
            if myDebug or masterDebug then       
                 LOG('   OKC_Retargeting: ', repr( self.DamageData.Weapon.OKC_Retargeting ) )
                 LOG('   Normal projectile, bypassing fork')              
              end
           end                                 
      else
         if myDebug or masterDebug then
            LOG('   Prop or nuke projectile detected, aborting extra data pass')   
         end         
      end            
      if myDebug or masterDebug then
         LOG('   self.DamageData: ', repr( self.DamageData ) )   
      end
   end,


One last thing... Notice how I've also included the data from the AI brain !!!!

This would fix a lot of issues with T3 air, out of curiosity, how are you planning to do it?



Have a look at General chat.
