remove the "bounce" from firing tank turrets in vehicles

[Legoboss]

I don't know the right word, but when you put a tank turret / any turret inside of a vehicle and fire it, it causes the vehicle to flip or bounce.
Would it be possible to remove this?

It is - remove this code from Vehicle_Tank.cs:

            %tank = %mount.getObjectMount();
            if(isObject(%tank))
            {
               %theVector = %mount.getEyeVector();
               %theVector = vectorAdd(%theVector,"0 0 1");
               %theVector = vectorScale(%theVector,%tank.getDataBlock().mass*5);
               %theVector = vectorSub(%theVector,vectorScale(%thevector,2));
               
               %tank.applyImpulse(getWords(%mount.getEyeTransform(),0,2),%theVector);   
            }

It's called recoil jsyk

               %tank.applyImpulse(getWords(%mount.getEyeTransform(),0,2),%theVector);   
            }

Thanks, would this work on other tank add ons?

The code might look abit different for those. You'll have to remove it manually for every turret add-on.

The launcher is just going to update the file back to normal. You'd want to use an add-on to modify or redefine the function

You'd want to set the add-on to read-only, yes.

[Headcrab Zombie]

Or do it properly by making an add-on instead of stuffty workarounds

like gr8 said it's recoil and you're gonna get a lot of it when you fire a shell the size of an infant

The turret recoil is fine.

I'd say there's got to be some really bad design choice if your vehicles are flipping over.

I actually have an add-on created for me that does exactly this. I can give it to you if you want. Sorry for not giving it out straight away.

Or you can stop being stupid and post a link here, as that is clearly what he wants.

[Legodude77]

Here you go.

Can we please stop doing this?
