How to realize freefall bomb

[ztz2019 1]

It seems all live shell projectile are guided-missile indeed, no matter firehawk's or vertigo's bomb. It means the projectile will fly to target for a while, must from starting point to destination, not freefall. I used to check RA3's Kirov bomb, the module ProjectileUpdate isn't in tw's xsd, so how to realize freefall bomb projectile?

 

Again, firing too early before turret turning is still unsolved, anyone can help me?

Just give it a scatterradius=1 or such attribute in the weapon, that should make it not homing.

No, I mean it can't really freefall like Kirovbomb, if the unit leave from destinated target, the bomb will still point to original target location, not ariship's below, no matter scatterradius or other.

Only BezierProjectile for projectile obj, and it always moves along path from starting point to last destination.

 

	<WeaponTemplate
		id="MutantAirShipBomb"
		Name="MutantAirShipBomb"
		AttackRange="1"
		WeaponSpeed="80"
		AcceptableAimDelta="180d"
		LeechRangeWeapon="true"
	ScatterRadius = "1.0"// just like Firehawk
	HitPercentage="0%"
		MeleeWeapon="true"
		ChaseWeapon="true"	
		ProjectileCollidesWith="ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRAL STRUCTURES WALLS"
	DisableScatterForTargetsOnWall="true"		
		CanFireWhileMoving="true"
		ClipSize="1"
			FireSound="NOD_VertigoDropBomb"
		RadiusDamageAffects="ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS"
		AntiMask="ANTI_GROUND ANTI_STRUCTURE">
      
      
      			<BezierProjectile
				id="ModuleTag_BezierProjectileBehavior"
				FirstHeightMin="0" 
				FirstHeightMax="0" 
				SecondHeightMin="0" 
				SecondHeightMax="0" 
				FirstPercentIndent="33"
				SecondPercentIndent="66"
				OrientToFlightPath="false"// original Firehawkbombprojectile is true, but neither is effective
				DetonateCallsKill="true" 
				GroundHitFX=""/>

 

 The projectile just use Firehawkbombprojectile, and you can see it's still guided missile indeed.

Try adding the gravity lines of code; see Orbital strike/Mjolnir projectile and Catalyst missile projectile (those both drop straight down)

Just like I said, it's ocl wpn, not normal projectile, so no gain exp for airship.

[Ravendark 46]

try this:

add this to your weapon.xml

<ProjectileNugget                 
                WarheadTemplate="MybombWarhead"
                ProjectileTemplate="MybombProjectile">
                <AttackOffset x="0" y="0" z="-100"/>  *the -z value should prob be something along the hover/flight height of your airship
            </ProjectileNugget>

 

make sure your projectil bezier attributes make it fly in a strait line, so no curves or arcs....more or less set everything to 0 or 1 related to height curving etc.

Thanks, it seems work.

 

 

 

And there's another question. I want to change GDICommando or ZT's flying speed,  the flying function seems be  controled by BezierProjectile module, and I can't find how to let speed fast or slow down.  I want Cmdo flys slower than it used to be.

Not only slower, but also let the path like this, it is also controled by BezierProjectile.

IIRC, you need to change:

<WeaponTemplate
        id="ZoneTrooperFireJumpJets"
        Name="ZoneTrooperFireJumpJets"
        IdleAfterFiringDelaySeconds="0s"
        AttackRange="999999.0"
        MinimumAttackRange="20"
        WeaponSpeed="160"                   /*  this controls the flightspeed */
        ProjectileSelf="true"               
        ClipSize="=$UNLIMITED_CLIP_SIZE"  
        AutoReloadsClip="AUTO"
        PreAttackType="PER_SHOT"
        HitPercentage="0%"
        >
        <PreAttackDelay
          MinSeconds="0.1s"
          MaxSeconds="0.1s" />
        <FiringDuration
                MinSeconds="0.1s"
                MaxSeconds="0.1s" />
        <ClipReloadTime
                MinSeconds="0.1s"
                                            MaxSeconds="0.1s" />
        <Nuggets>
            <ProjectileNugget
                WarheadTemplate="ZoneTrooperJumpJetWarhead" />
        </Nuggets>
    </WeaponTemplate>

As for the flight characteristics it will always be some sort of bezier curve if done with a self projectile style like it uses, but try something like:

<BezierProjectile
                id="ModuleTag_Projectile"
                FirstHeightMin="50"
                FirstHeightMax="50"
                SecondHeightMin="50"
                SecondHeightMax="50"
                FirstPercentIndent="30"        /* change these values */
                SecondPercentIndent="70"       /* change these values  */
                TumbleRandomly="true"
                CrushStyle="true"
                BounceCount="0"
                FinalStuckTime="1.766s"
                GroundHitFX="FX_ZoneTrooperJumpJetHitsGround"
                PreLandingStateTime="0.3s" />

i would try setting these values to something low, i had a vertical launched (silo based ) missile ones that flew more or less like your drawing. I had those set to 1. you will need to experiment with those bezier settings.

Many thx to u. Do you have some ideas to realize NOD diggin APC(well I can't rememory it clearly ,just Tib Sun's nod APC or Devil tongue), TE mod seems use shock trooper's teletransport SP, but I think it may have better way.

Well, I changed weaponspeed, but still fast as original, no changing, I don't know why, and I didn't change any other code.

Didn't saw your reply till now mate,

The sources I sent you also show how to change the main menu music, if it not works it may be due to the files, KW gave me few issues as well when I tried to add new music files if they weren't encoded correctly.

for music you need Mp3 format.

if you got trouble I peek on my sources and tell you what should work.

 

As for the max plugin, here it is

However it was tool earlier to open the champagnes as it seem it don't have exporter yet ;(

Sorry if I gave you false hopes

I changed weaponspeed to 20, but still as fast as before, what's wrong or maybe I misunderstood?
