scott2978 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I know these indicate what direction the gun can fire, but what do they mean, exactly? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droid803 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 All hardpoints and ships have a "Fire cone"....think of a cone, that the sharp point is at the fire bone.The width is how WIDE the cone is...as in, which directions it can fire, as in can it fire all around. Height is how High and Low the cone is, as in, can it fire directly overhead? Put Height, Width and Max_Fire_Distance and you have its entire firing range. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It's how you make hardpoints limit how far they can shoot, or fire straight........Like the land vehicle hardpoints. The AT-AT has it as this: <Fire_Cone_Width>1.0</Fire_Cone_Width> <Fire_Cone_Height>10.0</Fire_Cone_Height> "I feel fantastic and I'mStill Aliveand when you're dying I will beStill Aliveand when you're dead I will beStill AliveSTILL ALIVE"~GLaDOSAnybody who thinks Palpatine is a sepratist knows NOTHING about star WarsWhen in doubt- rocket it.Dowload The Underworld's Might beta from Filefront!

Droid803 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 No thats max_fire_range.The fire cone specifies the radius and height of which the unit can fire. Of couser, if you want it to be able o fire in all directions, use a width of 360 and a height of 180. Its all measured in degrees. In 1upD's example, it would be able to fire in a cone that is 1 degree wide and 10 degrees high from the fire bone (which means it fires dead straight) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott2978 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 So is any numeric value between 1 and 360 a valid value for that then? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfox1 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 For width, yes, for height, uhhh don't know. You could, but that'd possibly make it glitch because it can fire in 360 degrees around and 180 up and down, so 360/360 would be the same as 360/180 I would think.

darth trogsasea Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 no if i was 360 and 180 it could fire 360 around and it could only fire in a up or down angle in the front half of ship so some thing above and behind the ship it cant hit it with out turning www.mapsnmods.tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfox1 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 If it can fire all the way around and up and down, what can't it hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droid803 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 See that is why we need to put a limit on its fire cone.otherwise, it'd shoot through itself which looks ugly ( it will NEVER hurt itself) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott2978 Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 So, where is the fire cone centered? Is there something on the bone that tells the hardpoint which way is "forward", or does it depend on the orientation of the model (the model of the hardpoint or the model of the ship?!! They are not necessarily the same!) Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonShadow Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I believe it's bone orientation. I've noticed that 0,0 isn't the same direction for all ships (it's straight forward for some, straight sideways for others, etc.) http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/RyuuKageSIG.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/NightshadowDragon/AoSW-JCW_Banner.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droid803 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Fire bones have a facing...its too bad that the ALO veiwer can't see which way the bones are pointing... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
