Attacking Sideways

[fdgsgds]

Does anyone have any ideas how to make a ship attack from its side? It's just absurd that a huge cannon ball will come out the front of it.

Depends if you want custom projectile or normal attack?
For custom,you need a bit of triggering,for normal,you can use dummy that will move along with ship and shoot targets on ship's sides.

 

[fdgsgds]

Hmm... Well, I wanted it to be a "normal" attack. Perhaps I will make a dummy unit follow directly under the ship. It will be ordered to stop if a unit in the attacking range is not within a certain range of angles.

But, is there any way simpler than this?

 

[Garfield1337]

Well,as far as i know,no.
Also if you wait a few minutes,i'll make a system like that.

 

[fdgsgds]

Don't do that

 

[Garfield1337]

Ok,but why not?

 

[fdgsgds]

O.K., so I can't figure out a good (or possible) way to do this. Also, I have no time for tomorrow or the day after that.

Any pointers? Thanks.

Phoenix fire is the best I believe. (Else, you need to trigger it)

 

[defskull]

Anachron is right, Phoenix Fire spell is the best choice for cannons to shoot from side of the ship
WITHOUT using any dummy units at all

 

[Garfield1337]

And how would you make Phoenix fire shoot only at sides?

I made a system, JUST FOR TEST, this is not mui or anything, just leakless.
Btw, this works even if the ship/tank moves.

This is an example of Ship Attacking System
You can change the missile model in the ability field Art - Missile Art

 

[Garfield1337]

^ Neither of your systems shoot only at sides >_<
I made one that does: (it's MUI)

 

[defskull]

Well, I don't know what he wants
But he can use all of the systems here that we've uploaded

 

[Garfield1337]

It's just absurd that a huge cannon ball will come out the front of it.

It's up to him to choose,obviously.
