Title: Projectile Lifetime
Post by: DKealt on October 07, 2009, 08:13:06 PM

I've been trying to optimise my install, using things like correcting the projectiles lifetime to limit the no. of objects in a scene.

I always assumed that all that was required to do was modify the "GetLifetime" part of the projectile script. However, I've tested this on a few torpedoes and apparently modifying the value does nothing.

What is it that needs to be edited?

Doesn't 'GetLifetime' work only with pulse projectiles like disruptors, pulse phasers or torpedoes set as a pulse weapon like on Sovereign or Prometheus ???

IIRC you have to add

Code: [Select]

pTorp.SetLifetime( GetLifetime() )to the torpedo script.
