Missile Capabilities

[Midway Sentinel]

Is there a way to make a projectile have no trail for a second, then have it flash back to the projectile, like a FGM-148 Javelin Missile? and maybe even be weighted and have only a small amount of force propelling it?

i'm sure its possible

good luck

[Midway Sentinel]

is there anyone who could script this?

[Amade]

That's entirely possible.

If you get all the datablocks and models made I'd be willing to script its firing.

[Midway Sentinel]

thanks, ill start working on it right now!

For something like that it looks like you could have it fire a 'deactivated' slow projectile with no trail and the launch smoke explosion effect, then when it explodes spawn a new projectile with the same direction it was going initially and the rocket trail.

[Midway Sentinel]

that sounds good, even though i dont know how to do that, but Amade said he would script it, good idea overall! :) 

ps. im about half way done with the base model of the launcher, once its finished, im going to start on the projectile model

[Midway Sentinel]

well, i cant get the model to work well, and i cant get  the projectile to show up ingame (i wonder if it has to do with the model turning black when i export it :( ), so if there is a person who is good at modeling and stuff they might want to try this, and maybe even build the server.cs file, im getting very frustrated :(, maybe someone should take over the whole thing and design it their way
