 Continuous pinned ACrab damage  So, I've made this new turret here. It's an ACrab this time (my other turrets are AHumans). For some reason, as this time-laps series shows you, it continuously loses health for some reason I don't understand. The code for the actor itself isn't too huge, so I'll post it here. I've determined that it has nothing to do with the mass. I've reduced the mass of both the actor and the weapon itself to numbers much smaller than are shown here, and still the health decreases at the same rate. This is pretty frustrating. Code: AddActor = Turret
PresetName = D48-Railgun Idaten Turret
Mass = 0.001

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage I remember this seeing this problem before. I think it was solved by copying the limb offsets from a turret that didn't have the problem.

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage It could be that it somehow gets wounded (leg that spawn in a nasty position and breaks) and has a hurting wound.
Other than that, I'm out.

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage No idea what the problem might be. But that's a badass turret. Is it a turret-power level Electrolaser?

It's a railgun, actually, meant for liquefying pretty much anything in one shot, on the ground or in the air. It's a fairly ridiculous weapon, but it has a huuuuuuuuuge reload time. I think I'll mess with the limbs a bit, since I've been suspecting the problems might lie there. I'll add some, move em around, etc.

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage All I can think of is that they (as in legs) are destroyed when you place it, because ACrabs constantly lose health without their legs.

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage Make some null legs.
I remember taking off a dreadnought's legs via code and it lost health.

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage Yeah, Null legs are the way to go. Actor much prefer null limbs to non-existant ones.

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage Yep. I copied regular Dummy Crab Legs, gave them a null sprite, and set them in the same place as the dreadnought. Now it works.
Not messing with the walkpaths also seems to help. It seems like if you mess with stuff too much, the legs will just instantly gib for some reason. And when an ACrab has no legs, it loses health, even if there's no damaging break wounds for the legs. So you can't just have no legs either. It works for an AHuman though.
Oh well. Back to work. I need to fix up the turret sprite and add some gibs...

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage I like the new turret. Only thing I could say is to possibly add some energy-like parts to the inside of each part of the "barrel". I like your turrets. I resprited Electroclan's Tesla cannon and had one of your turrets pick it up (awesome that you can do this, btw). Results were fun:

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage Darlos, since build 22 has things organized by .RTE's along with an Icon, I was wondering what you would do for the Icon. Would it be an image of a Tengu or the symbols in your avatar?

Re: Continuous pinned ACrab damage What the? And I thougth I had something wrong with my code when I tried to make the small turret for the dummies.
I'll report this to Data, Darlos9D. We messed up something on the engine side.
