Oh UltraKen... about that shot convergance thing...

[Avatar]

Is that an option for weapons?

That is, can we turn it off in the odf for a specific weapon?

-Av-

hmmm, better add:

"If so, how?"



**Note that if we ever discussed this the brain cells present in my head at that time are LONG gone...

[Red Devil]

Isn't it shotVariance, not shot convergence?

[APCs r evil]

If he's talking about weapons triangulating on a target, no.

[Avatar]

That I am...

Ken added the convergence, makes me think maybe there's an odf entry for it to override it.

-Av-

[General BlackDragon]

yes i could use some help with that for my beam fence, to make it look like a fence

[ScarleTomato]

Ooh si si, that would be a very nice switch for mortar units

[General BlackDragon]

yes, the idea is to have a wall that's just a series of poles, but when enemies come inbetween them, they incinnerate it.

[Ultraken]

Right now weapon convergence is always on, and I could see why you'd want the option to turn it off in that particular case.

[Red Devil]

Is convergence where the weapon aim of two weapons (can see it with the aiming lasers) point to what is targeted?

Is there any particualr reason why the titan cannons/guns don't converge?

[Avatar]

Are you sure they don't?  I remember the Titan's guns converging...  this only happens when you 'T'arget the enemy, btw...

-Av-

[Spawn]

I don't think the guns converge...

[Red Devil]

Must be what convergence is then.  I've seen pilots and Titans just stand there shooting at each other, with the pilot in between the guns (not cannons).

[APCs r evil]

Neither the Titan's Cannons or Guns converge on a target.

[Avatar]

That is bizarre.  The Titan doesn't, the Scout does, so they're my test subjects.

First glance the big difference is how the weapons section reads.

I tried adding recoil entries in a Scout to see if that had any effect and it didn't.
I tried changing the Titan's weapons via the odf and it had no effect, and neither did giving it a crate.

Makes me think it's an assault tank thing, and there's one other AssTank I can play with.

So...  I went in and gave a Bulldog miniguns in the mortor slots.  Guess what?  They don't converge either.

This leads me to believe it's a "Code Elf Brain Fart" concerning the assaulttank class, which while rare are not unheard of....   

Seriously, Ken, did you miss the Assault Tanks when you were handing out shot convergence?  Not like they need any help...
