Making new weapon - missile

[CzeReptile]

Right peeps, simple question with difficult answer.

I wanted to try out making the unguided missiles that I made thread on about while ago. The SWAT instruction tutorial is however gun oriented and I am kindly missing something here and there, therefore I am begging for help to create these weapons for testing.

Thanks:D

try take the stats from the flak turret

and mix it with a c'ball launcher

that should, if mixed right, give you the weapon you want

just try and fail

just use a new empty, non discovery account and also a separate disco directory in case of "meltdown"....

worst case and you wont be able to run the game, worst case... account get corrupted badly by all the "wrongs"

I made it working.
But now the missiles do no damage.

But now the missiles do no damage.

Are you testing this with a friend? If so, you checked that PvP is enabled?

I tried stuff like this once, couldn't get it to work... Then found PvP was disabled. >.<

I have found the glitch that prevented the missile from dealing damage.

I seem to have figured it out on my own. Fun, hour long, but fun.

Not sure what your asking, whether its help on how to write a missile weapon in the ini file or what.
but heres the -only- difference between a gun and a missile.

As per se, its supposed to be unguided, so I changed the seeker time and ang to 0, and missiles flew just straight. Even crosshair does not move so its kinda tricky to aim them.
But game crashes when I buy them.
