Title: Flanking Torpedo Launchers
Post by: Anew9 on April 20, 2010, 12:28:27 AM

Hey guys,

I added flanking torpedo launchers on the Akira class but for some reason they dont work in game. For my left flanks they are X= -1 Y=1 Z=0 for the direction. The red pointer points in the direction I intend to fire at but it wont work in the game.

Any tips?

The P81 and SNS akiras already have them, I would take a look at them to see if your's are set right.  Also, make sure that the emitter is exactly touching the geometry of the model, if it is either inside it or outside the model the weapon wont fire.  If everything still doesn't work right, check your aim.  The BC targeting system isn't designed to fire broadside, so don't expect the reticle to work, it's hardcoded to direct fore/aft targeting, if you've got a very narrow firing solution it might be difficult to line up your shot well enough for the weapons to fire.
