Laser Designation Revisited

So far, the (ahem) A.S.S. (already suggested suggestions) list has LGB's as noncodable.

One guy put a heat object in an attack marker...so why not change the destroy one to bomb and enable the bomb to track heat?

It seem like a good idea is it feasable?

dont think you can link the designator and weapon if its not used by the same person

I think I have seen it somewhere, and I am hoping that they do not use the attack marker as the Guide for the LGB's. My reasoning is, in order for the bombs to be balanced, the person who is marking the target should be vulnerable. A constant 'paint' from a Laser Designator is more realistic and balanced, however, I don't know about the coding aspect of such. I recall watching a vid of someone with a working target 'paint' system, in which you needed to guide the bomb in with laser designator from launch to detination, and I'll see if I can find it again.

*Edit*

Perhaps, if coding the constant tracking is too hard, have it so the SIMRAD has a lock-on time, and have it fire the entity that creates a target for heat/laser guided weapons?
That would make it so you have to expose yourself for a short period of time while waiting for the lock on. Again, not sure about the coding aspect of things.

"Already Suggested" doesnt mean "Not Doable"

What's sad is that,this is an ability with the sniper kit on BF2 Modern Combat on PS2/Xbox/Xbox 360.You get a laser designator and you pull the fire button and you have to follow it within the designators sight and eventually lock it on.OR,you could do what USI does,and give Spec Ops. laser designators to plant on stuff...

are you talking about me?

yha i dont really like the attack marker thing thats why it is a gps bomb not a laser bomb but i am also working on a way to use the simrad to guide the bombs.but i me and cas did make it so that if you get into a f15 you can guide the bombs with a laser, it was really cool and kinda hard.

but yes it is not possible to use lptargetcomp from one player to another the net code is not there.
