[Coding] Improved Anti Tank

This is very nice.

Thanks for the input!

So, things to work on might be improving the flame effect to try an imitate the twirling better, and maybe cutting the smoke earlier. I did put the longer smoke trail in to make it easier for the target to see/avoid, but maybe with a big flaming trail, that might not be necessary. Guess that would have to be tested. The new optic is almost finished, will put a screenshot up when it is....

you have A LOT of good reference for sights there , maybe they can help

keep the good work!

well i did try to make the sraw before, got it to work nice, had the 2 stage thing but no effect change. i made it so it shot a missile that would lock onto the laser tagret on a tank, but the sraw would have a lock angle of around 0.1 so the player had to track the vehicls for 5 sec due to the lock time, the missile also had a very small lock angle to avoid people just shooting without having to track the vehicle. this way works great but there is only 3 diffrent types of tracking, there is heat, laser and unique. heat and laser can be used as target objects, but there is no network code for the unique so that can only be client side. so if you add a laser target to a tank people will have no reason to use the soflam.

I think it should be like that, also for helicopters. The hellfires should be able to lock on like that with a small angle, so you have to hold it over for a while. The soflam for example could be an advantage because it allows you to strike from longer range?

umm i dont think you could make the soflam do that. only if we could add diffrent kinds of target objects we could do so much, like missiles that explode over the tank, but i can only dream.

this sounds really great. Unfortunately I can't view YouTube videos atm, but I can only dream till next weekend.

ye so few target objects is a right f**ker that seriously limits you being clever. Cant use heat seeking as its tied up for the jets, theres no laser target objects on tanks so cant use that either. The way I have made the SRAW so far is to use the laser designator off the binos and have the SRAW designate the target itself, then fire at it. However, it needs a bit of refinement. I have got missiles to explode over the tank working tho


Oh, and, Thanks Sicario! Got a few decent references now....

Very cool, can't wait to see more.

you can add a laser object to a tank with 1 line of code.
