Hello, i'm trying to create a torp which can be used in my own Mod (not that ill release it or anything, its just for messing about on in SP). What i was trying to get is a torpedo that when it has traveled about 300M or so from the ship, it acts similar to a swarm missile pod and the torp itself fires off about 10 'mini' torps all at about 3 or 4 degree angles. Also, if possible to have coloured smoke like with the swarm on impact.
Now, hopefully this made some sence to someone.
Now, i'm having trouble starting. I mean, the torpedo itself is fine but im having difficulty getting it so when it is launched it knows to release other torpedos from itself and then disintigrate after a certain ammount of distance. Also, the smoke is baffleing me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Of course, it may not be possible so please stop me in my tracks if im going into the realm of fantasy.
P.S. I will be away from a computer until monday so i wont be able to respond to any posts till then.
Do you think it would be possible to incorporate swarm technology into say... a sidewinder? And just set a timer for the swarm technology to take place? I think the difficulty would be making it fire the 'mini' missiles automatically.
