Re: [Modding Contest Entry: Artillery] The L-GED
It's easy, when you define the position at which the rocket/bomb is created you put in the Y -20 or something like that. Like Code: Bomb.Pos = Vector(self.Pos.X,-20) In that case it will always spawn at the Y coordinate -20, which is over the top of EVERY map.

Your a genius you know It always seems impossible until you realize how easy to implement some of these things are... I wasted a significant portion of my life trying to do that with .ini with no real progress Kettenkrad if you implement said feature this will be the best weapon mod in the game bar none IMO 10/10

Re: [Modding Contest Entry: Artillery] The L-GED
Just did some rather extensive play testing of the newest version. Now that they spawn at a more realistic altitude it plays alot more smoothly. Besides being exploit proof now, it also gives you more time to avoid getting clobbered by that over pressure wave from the FAE. And Mehman's grav tank can get away from the EFP barrage more easily. Thank you for the superb mod

Re: [Modding Contest Entry: Artillery] The L-GED
I love the mod, but I just have a small note to make; Though awesome, the sensor fuzed weapon misses the point of the weapon it's based on. It isn't really supposed to be an armor piercing cluster bomb, at least the way I understand it... The submunitions are supposed to use sensors to fire penetrator munitions targeted at enemy vehicles, while harmlessly disabling the munitions that fail to find targets; A precision weapon, not a shotgun blast.
I know it would be really hard to code, so its still awesome in its current form; It just seems a bit funny to me that I can target it at a group of enemies near my designator, cause minimal damage to them, and have my designator get torn apart by the randomly falling blasts.

Re: [Modding Contest Entry: Artillery] The L-GED
Indeed, though as you said, it would be quite hard to code, and I'm not, uh... very skilled in the art of Lua coding.
I was going to add a Javelin missile, but now Year 11 has started I'm not expecting much free time.

Re: [Modding Contest Entry: Artillery] The L-GED
Well, I think you could probably use MORays to do it. I know you can make them tell if it's an actor or terrain, so you could set it through lua to disengage if it doesn't find an actor? I might be wrong, but I think it's possible.

Your joking right? As far as I'm concerned your one of the best.

I wouldn't think that it's hard to code; just a CastMORay, check if the MO is an actor, check in which team is it (if you want it to have fancy team detection), make it gib if the MO fullfils the requisites or make it safely land if not.

Re: General Industries - Formerly the L-GED
So, just updated this. Rather than starting a new mod, I'll just build off this.
Now, the first mod I ever made was called GICorp. Srood for Global Initiative Corporation or something. It was awesome but OP and unpolished. Now this new version will focus less on OP ♥♥♥♥ and more on modern tech and actors. I'm hungry now so I'll fill in the details later.
EDIT: Also I literally only started this five days ago. The Wehrmacht took me like 6 months to release. :3

Re: General Industries - Formerly the L-GED
I love the Breacher because he's totally a terrorist and I love it.
So it looks like you can only get some guns on certain actors, is that it? If so, that's really cool. Adds a sense of character.
