As Anvart said a few posts ago, everybody should start getting used to read the threads before posting, it's just an idea that is not working, Anvart tried to make it work last year, I've also spended a couple of months (and a couple of thousand tests) trying to make it work without success, I hope RB cames up with a solution in the future, but for now

Ref

ps : @NiclDoe, not personal, but you're the last one to post.

Did you try to search threads started by Anvart ? I tried, but all of the older threadstarting posts are only filled with some stars. I cannot figure out what he wants to tell with this stars ??? :hmm:

IIRC it was not separate thread ...
May be it was SergButo thread ...? :hmm:
And now it's in archive ... ?
I tried to begin discussion of the technical party of work ...
....

Well maybe I should say that although I think you may have linked
to the wrong thread there Anvart.

the reason I know this Is because I remember your posts on it
including all the diagram screenshots you did showing a torpedo
bomber attack and all that. I also recall passing many pms back and
forth with you for a day or two at the time discussing the subject.

Sadly I wasnt able to locate them among your archives either
maybe they are right maybe it was posted on sergbutos thread
at the time. Im afraid that part I dont recall.

[edit]
I searched back through my posts too but there only seems to be
500 saved the other 2000 are gone apparently.

Racerboy,

is the torpedo spawned directly to the north or does it turn to the north once shot? In the latter case, this could be solved by creating an AI torpedo with zero turn angle, i.e. it would go where the bow of the ship is aiming at -which will normally be the enemy-. Not perfect, but would work well against a high density target like a convoy.

I talk nonsense: you fire a truck and sailed througt the sub. Can you fire anything more "solid": a plane, a ship, a sub with an explosive loadout?
There is a V1 in GWX 2.
If I'm wrong, sorry.

You wouldn't happen to have the fraps of that test available would you :rotfl:

Hope I got this right: as far as I understood it, the V1 in GWX 2.0 behaves lika a plane not like a missile and is spawned and not fired.

That is correct

Problem is this: I shoot an object (it's a clone of the NavalMine minus the underwaterfloatingobject and visibleunderwater controllers) and it tracks straight to the sub. Now one would expect it to detonate on contact with the sub but it goes right through it. So it appears I need a .zon file for it. That's where I stand now, trying to make this .zon file. So far all I get are CTD's when I try to make this .zon file work

Did you connect AmmoDamageInfo controller to your "pseudo-torpedo" ...?

If you wish to use in-game sub torpedos for AI units torpedos, you should generate new object (torpedo with amun_torpedo controller) ...
This object has the same angular coordinate rotY (in world system of coordinates) as well as rotY in block Type4/100 off torpedo dat file ...
If to change rotY in torpedo dat file, orientation of the generated torpedo in world system of coordinates will change ...
