Jet Raptor Question Options

[zz_1984]

I was just trying to modify ROTR mod (which by the way I like it a lot), and figure out how to prevent America Jet Raptor to automaitcally throw its missiles against any kind of infantry (except I command it so), just like Hunter Killer Drone does. I 've been inspecting the following lines of code, with no success:

I have also checked worlbuilder SkirmishScripts.scb, but found nothing relative to what I'm looking for.

You could just give the raptor the hunter killer drone's weapon.

Stupid me! Trying to figure out how it worked, I forgot the most obvious answer.

So thanks, I followed your advise and got it working. Both assigning HunterKiller Weapon to JetRaptor and changing ProjectileObject to RaptorMissile did the job.

CODE

  PrimaryDamage               = 105.0            
  PrimaryDamageRadius         = 5.0
  ScatterRadiusVsInfantry     = 10.0    ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.
  AttackRange                 = 380.0
  MinimumAttackRange          = 50.0
  AcceptableAimDelta          = 30
  DamageType                  = JET_MISSILES

End

Of course, I would not only like to get my question solved (which I had), but I would also like to know what makes it work, and that way have a (little) better understanding of the game. I mean, I would like to know I someone could tell me if the piece of code that prevents HunterKiller attack infantry is there, even if I couldn't see it, or I should keep looking somewhere else.

The damage type used by the weapon, probably doesnt affect infantry.

You can check armor.ini if that's the case

[zz_1984]

Ok, I'll keep on searching.

Thanks!

Just to add to this question, is there away to make 2 weapons (doesn't matter what weapon) that one shoots vehicles only, while the other shoots infantry only? I was thinking about this to make like a sniper that can shoot vehicles and do some damage, without actually losing the ability to insta-kill infantry.

Nope.

Multiple weapons for jets doesn't work, unless both fire at the same targets, or they have unlimited ammo. Otherwise, it'll cause "the aircraft not returning home to reload cause the secondary weapon still has ammo thus never firing ever again unless manually commanded to retreat" bug while guarding.

What about tanks or infantry? Can they have the separate targeting?

Seperate targeting works for everything except jets.

[hawkseye17]

So here is my dilemma: I want to make a tank, (could be any but I'm using the ROTR Rhino tank right now) be able to use canister shells (the shotgun shells) against infantry. I made the weapon codes for it but for the life of me I can't get the tank to shoot the canister rounds at infantry only and the regular shells at vehicles. Here's the code

CODE

[/code]

  WeaponSet
    Conditions = None
    
    Weapon             = PRIMARY   RhinoCanisterShell
  ; AutoChooseSources  = PRIMARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI
    
    Weapon             = SECONDARY RhinoTankGun
  ; AutoChooseSources  = SECONDARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI
    
    Weapon             = TERTIARY  RhinoCanisterShell
  ; AutoChooseSources  = TERTIARY  NONE
    
    PreferredAgainst = PRIMARY   INFANTRY
    PreferredAgainst = SECONDARY VEHICLE
    PreferredAgainst = TERTIARY  INFANTRY

    ShareWeaponReloadTime = Yes
    WeaponLockSharedAcrossSets = Yes
  End

;Heroic Weaponset
  WeaponSet
    Conditions = HERO
    
    Weapon             = PRIMARY   RhinoCanisterShell
  ; AutoChooseSources  = PRIMARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI
    
    Weapon             = SECONDARY HeroicRhinoTankGun
  ; AutoChooseSources  = SECONDARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI
  
    Weapon             = TERTIARY  RhinoCanisterShell
  ; AutoChooseSources  = TERTIARY  NONE
    
    PreferredAgainst = PRIMARY   INFANTRY
    PreferredAgainst = SECONDARY VEHICLE
    PreferredAgainst = TERTIARY  INFANTRY

    ShareWeaponReloadTime = Yes
    WeaponLockSharedAcrossSets = Yes
  End
[code]

And here is the code for the actual canister shell (it's just a modified shotgun)

CODE

[/code]
Weapon RhinoCanisterShell
  PrimaryDamage          = 200.0
  PrimaryDamageRadius    = 20.0
  SecondaryDamage        = 25.0
  SecondaryDamageRadius  = 15.0
  ScatterRadius          = 0.1
  WeaponRecoil = 3.5
  AttackRange            = 150.0
  DamageType             = GATTLING
  DeathType              = EXTRA_4
  WeaponSpeed            = 9999.0
  ProjectileObject       = GenericCanisterGunShotProjectile
  FireFX                 = WeaponFX_PandurCannisterGunFire
  VeterancyFireFX        = HEROIC WeaponFX_PandurCannisterGunFireHeroic
  FireSound              = FrankJaegerPandurShotgunWeapon
  RadiusDamageAffects    = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS
  DelayBetweenShots = 0       ; time between shots, msec
  ClipSize = 1                   ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
  ClipReloadTime = 1800             ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
  ProjectileDetonationFX = WeaponFX_PandurShotgunImpact
End
[code]

Why are there 2 canister weapons? You can just completely remove the tertiary weapon.

Also, this thread is going waay off topic.

Agreed.
