Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
unfortunately this guntower is a flak cannon aa turret on the ground, so making it high altitude isnt an option...

Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
yeah kinda figured you would have a concept in mind for it, it wouldn't hurt at least trying to mess with the hp's i guess to see if you could get the desired effect just messing with the model a bit.

X wanted this before. He was persistent on it, and concluded it couldn't work.
Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
I guess the only way is to have the DLL actively give attack and hold orders to the GT.

Can DLL read the setAltitude variable? Or
if CraftClass::[Aircraft] || HoverCraftClass::setAltitude > X
doNotTargetMe
Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
The DLL would have to more actively constantly tell the damn thing to hold unless there was something in range. It would be nasty.

Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
there is the IsFlying ODF entry, that, coupled with the SmartIsAirUnit default.

Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
As far as I am aware IsFlying, only really does one thing and that is when its set on a pilot weapon, it makes the pilot use its bazooka animation set instead of the sniper one. Maybe it does something else on other units, but I haven't figured out what that is.

associated with the A flag in subAttackClass
Re: AA Only Gun Tower?
Just give it -no weapon- or -a weapon- based on what its targeting, probably wont make it very intelligent though .. like not shooting at the tank while it is being bombed or suchNielk1 wrote:The DLL would have to more actively constantly tell the damn thing to hold unless there was something in range.
