Anti Air Missile

Image

Current version: 1.2 (klick here to download)



Features
  • Automatically shoots missiles whenever a hostile Rocket or Dropship is in range
  • 2 stage missile for extra awesomeness
  • Selfdestruction of missiles in flight in case there aren't any targets in range (Rocket gets destroyed while missile is still on the way)
  • Only 1 missile per launcher at once NEW
  • Gibs for stage 1


Missing features
  • Cool way to deploy the Launcher


Known Issues
  • Missiles sometimes fly in circles below/above target FIXED
  • Missile not flying over the wrap FIXED
  • Stage 1 coming out at a wierd angle
  • Accidental friendly fire

How to use
  • When in prebuilding phase, select "Weapons" tab, then deploy the device where you want to.
  • Currently no way to deploy in a running game.
  • Make sure there's enough space above the device. Best is to have no roof over it at all!
  • Sit back and watch, it does everything by itself.

Credits
  • ScifiSpirit - He helped me alot with the lua part, without him I wouldn't have ever finished this
  • p3lb0x - Making my sprites look manly
  • Abdul Alhazred - Helped me with having more than 1 missile at once in the air

Cool!

Might want to take out the flames though, since it will almost always explode in the air.

Hm... this gives me an idea for an automatic SAM emplacement.

Nevermind me though, this is pretty cool crap. Nice job. I agree with HK though, I would recommend getting a cooler, more rocket-y looking stage 1 rocket sprite.

Post subject:  Re: Anti Air Missile
I would rather have no explosion when the rocket separates, and have it simply gib into a few pieces (2-3 would be ok), and maybe some smoke to show the missile launching. Maybe up the air resistance of the launcher so that it lingers in the air a bit longer before separating?

I'll work on the look of it tomorrow, but for now it's all technically working.

Sprites are not in palette. I also raped a storage crate into this.

Nice concept, I've noticed that it won't cross the map seam as well as settling above a target if it misses.

Edit: Also, would it be possible for it to shoot the shell at the same angle that the launcher is instead of straight up?

Post subject:  Re: Anti Air Missile
Yes, but I honestly don't know how to fix that seam problem :S

And all the other stuff will be in a future version :)

That's your friend. It takes wrapping into account. Just feed it the two positions and a true, and put this where your old value for pos1 - pos2 was.

Hey :)
Thanks for that

I have been working on the mod yesterday, but somehow it corrupted and cc wouldn't load it anymore. And today I'm on the airfield, so I can't work on it (maybe in the evening a little)

Released version 1.1

Fixed all known issues, and got new sprites from p3lb0x (thanks again!).
I also made the end of stage 1 less explosive, will change sound in next version.
Also, added gibs to stage 1, I will make them vanish 1 second after they have been created in next version.

Pretty good, but could use a BunkerModule and pinning.
