just an idea...

Post by Choking Victim »

i was thinking about secondary fire and i thought about how the plasma pistol has a secondary fire but its a charged bolt thing. so i was thinking if you give the rocket launcher a secondary fire but give it the same properties of the plasma pistol where you need to hold down the fire button. then you can make its secondary fire homing so that you could shoot a normal rocket but when your aiming at like a vehicle you can hold down fire then release it and the rocket will home in on its target just like in halo 2. i was gonna try but i have way too much crap on my harddrive that it wont let me delete.

well has this ever been done? give the warthog drivers seat a trigger with a sound such as a horn but no projectile so that you can press secondary fire and there will just be a horn :)

The first thing isn't too hard it just takes some time. You could just duplicate the plasma pistol and call it rocket2 or something and make a copy of the rocket projectile and stick it in there. Edit the weap.xml so that everything references what it should, be sure to replace the charged projectile with the rocket in the weap.xml and then rebuild and fix the things in the weapon tag (you'll probably need to use phenomena's plugin for some of those, leave the big numbers alone) that you couldn't do in xml (leave secondary trigger and age stuff alone). Edit the "charged" rocket projectile to be homing (you might need to use the original projectile plugin, phenomena's doesn't have homing unless he uploaded the fixed one)

Try batch extracting a clean map, it sounds like maybe you have a typo in an xml file.
