I got an idea for that guided missile.

Make a bunker module as a base extension that is a missile silo.
Its basically a small room with 3 things:

Space for the guided missile to fit in.
Missile dispenser (using grif's ABomb method)
A cover door that would keep the silo sealed when no missiles are inside.

So basically you place the silo somewhere in your base so it has a clear way up. Then the missile dispenser itself is an attached actor to the bunker module using AddChildObject; just like door modules. When you want to get a missile, you select the missile dispenser guy and fire his "gun" and it will spawn a missile safely in your bunker. When the missile spawns, the cover door will open and you can take control of the missile and fly it anywhere you want.

Im planning on making something like this for AAL, maybe differently though.

I really like this idea but wont the missile i fire be team 3 or something because i tried making grenades make people but they were team 3. Also, if this doesn't happen, would you mind helping me make this? I'm not really sure how to do this.

Here's how the ABomb method works.
1. Make a dropship.
2. Make it contain the wanted actor[s]
3. Make a magazine and the DS as ammo
4. Link the magazine with the gun.
5. Do whatever to reduce recoil.
Grif also said you can do any actors by adding this code to the DS's Add inventory
Code:
   AddInventory = AHuman
      CopyOf = [Actor name]
>> THAR      Team = 0
      ImpulseDamageThreshold = 3000
      AddInventory = HDFirearm
         CopyOf = AK-47
      AddInventory = HDFirearm
         CopyOf = Heavy Digger

Laser crossbow wouldn't work really.

We still can't get things to stick into people.

Plus why have a laser crossbow when you've got a railgun?

Do like the new additions, keep them coming! Are you planning to make a dropship too?


EDIT: The mod causes the game to crash. It says:

RTE Aborted
Assertion failed: Reader has been fed bad Inventory MovableOjbect in Actor::Create


And yes, it does say Movable Ojbect, not object.

The actors look nice, kinda lookalike, but still nice... also, i think red doesn't fit those rockets too well, but i ain't gonna dump this because of that, so im just going to test this out.

Edit:Until that error above me D:

I got the same error, I'll search through my code and see if theres anything i can do.

UPDATE: So i tried a few things, turns out cortex command doesn't like loading the RGA Commander. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it's code so i don't know what to do. Help is really appreciated.

Judging by the error message, I'd say that there's something wrong in your declaration of an MOPixel, MOSRotating, or MOSParticle. Go around and make sure you didn't do MOPixle or some silly little screw-up like that.

You don't ever get errors like this for no reason. Its always something you screwed up. You've narrowed down the part of the code that has the error, so now you just need to be vigilant and keep looking for the littlest error.

Here, I figured it out for you: when defining the RGA Commander, when you added B-01 grenades, you had
Code:
AddInventory = TDexplosive
      CopyOf = RGA B-01

The E in TDExplosive should be capitalized. See, the error basically said that you tried to give a badly defined piece of inventory to an actor. It was that misspelling.

Bullets just shouldn't go through the ground this much. All your weapons are pretty much overly penetrating. You need to tone it waaaaaaaaay down.

Look how the vanilla stuff does it, then work from there. Don't just throw in huge numbers because "your faction is powerful" or something. Trust me, I know from experience.

jesus ♥♥♥♥ the actors look beautiful.

The guns not so much.


But for the sharpness what you gotta do is tone down the sharpness first, then tone down everything a little (including sharpness) and add on a new bullet and make the bullet spread 0. if you don't have the desired effect just rinse and repeat (don't do the first step tho).
