I want to make a rocket launcher (currently a copy of the homing missile launcher) that fires the rockets vertically, instead of horizontally.
To make things clearer, here's a picture...

Is there any way to do that? Preferably with .ini

Have the launcher fire a TDExplosive with a GibImpulseLimit of 0. Attach an AEmitter to it that emits heavy, low lifetime, HitsMOs = 0, GetsHitByMOs = 0 particles at a high rate. Have the TDExplosive gib into another TDExplosive offset upwards at a decent speed. The result should be a rocket launcher that fires a rocket perpendicular to your current aim. |

That sounds complex, but I'll try it. In the meantime, any other suggestions? |

It'd be much simpler in Lua, where you could just set the velocity of the rocket on create. |

Would you want it to fire directly up no matter which direction you point your gun? Say, 45 degrees up/down? |

Make the launcher fire an AEmitter at 0 velocity and make the AEmitter facing up and have its Emissions perpendicular to the ground with PushesEmitter = 1 |

Code: function Create(self) self.Vel.X = 0 self.Vel.Y = -20 end Provided it doesn't explode in your barrel [set the barrel offset slightly further than normal in the ini] it should just go upward. |

It works! Thanks for the code. Also thanks to everyone else for ideas. I might publish this in the mod dump soon, just in case you want to use it. |

Scratch that, I've just seen you release this in the Minor Mod Dump, and what I put here would have not helped at all. |

The mod's out! Check the mod dump if you want to see it, my first mod. Thanks everyone for your help. I saw your edit, thanks anyway. |
