TBH its something we have wanted to know for some time but haven't had anyone available to experiment, but if its possible to use that code on handheld weapons it opens up a few options for us

Vehicles don't need to be manned.
Make a slideing tank ( like with 0 friction tracks) and let it slide down the hill..
The mine blows up. Also u can set the min speed to detonate. Not sure what happens if set to 0, guess it blows up always then, not tested yet.

ObjectTemplate.detonation.detectionRadius 100
ObjectTemplate.detonation.triggerType MTYVehicle
ObjectTemplate.detonation.triggerRadius 10
ObjectTemplate.detonation.triggerVictimMinSpeed 0

Mats391 wrote:I tested the TV guiding for handheld weapons, but couldnt get it to work. The projectile locks onto the target, but you cant reposition it not even on the first click. So the target stays on (0/0/0) map coordinates. I guess it only works for vehicles.

Now it works, but it cant be done while having toggleWhenNoAmmo enabled. It also has a bug with firing animation: the first target gets set where the firing animation throws you at, so it would have to be kept at a minimum. What you wanna do with it?

[R-DEV]Rhino wrote:cool

not quite sure what you mean by the issues but take it that if its a single shot weapon like most H-ATs are, then once you fire the missile it then switches to your rifle which screws up the aiming ye?

Do you think you might be able to make it workable at all, maybe by removing some animations or something? If you can get it working well then might be a better alternative for "fire and forget" weapons like the NLAW than wire guided, if not then I have an idea of where it might still be usable but will wait till your done with these H-AT tweaks and any other tasks you want to finish off first before I fill you in with the details over PMs. Don't want to get anyones hopes up as it is just a theory but one worth exploring to see if it can be made to work

The camera shake is really easy to remove in 3DsMax.

'[R-MOD wrote:Mongolian_dude;1980087']I'm probably over-stated things, I just regard it as the worst HAT in the game.
This is mostly to do with the fact that it relies on the spotting rifle to zero targets (unlike the Tandem RPG-7, that has a scope with range markings), mostly because it takes a really long time (unrealistically so) to change between the spotting rifle and the warheads. As a result, if you're tying to zero anything that is moving or has weapons (which includes everything you want to fire a SMAW at), your either going to miss or get shot.

In addition to this, if your trying to engage anything near max effective range (500m), you can't properly see where your tracer rounds are impacting. Nor can your assistant gunner, because he doesn't have binoculars and there's only so much detail the average PC monitor can display.

Could be my imagination, but it's accuracy also seems to be effected quite drastically when you aim the weapon around, like many of the guided and more efficient HATs in the game, making it near-impossible to hit anything moving even if you knew the exact distance and angle.

I still like to take the weapon for the challenge occasionally!
