Weapon platforms question

Maby with a Hex-modified auto_turret. Or if you want tougher platforms, increese the damage.

to increase the refire rate, lower the refire_delay. to increase the rotation speed increase the turn_rate.

Thats his problem! auto_turret ignores it!

Solar pilot data governs how fast a solar object will fire

No idea about the rotation… set the mass lower maybe? this maybe also in the pilot data block

Your answers… and many more answers to common AI problems can be found in… DATA/MISSIONS/pilots_population.ini

Í think your problem is the used pilot, since most pilots at set to fire in intervals, to fire slower than the gun’s max, to shoot at low accurace and to shho at the position you had 1 or 2 seconds before.

For example, the platform ‘Li01_small_wplatform_1’ in li01 use the pilot ‘pilot_solar_easy’

missions\pilots_population.ini

[Pilot]
nickname = pilot_solar_easy
gun_id = gun_solar_med_style_a
missile_id = missile_solar_med

Now look at that gun_id, same file:

[GunBlock]
nickname = gun_solar_med_style_a
gun_fire_interval_time = 0.100000
gun_fire_interval_variance_percent = 0.500000
gun_fire_burst_interval_time = 2
gun_fire_burst_interval_variance_percent = 0.500000
gun_fire_no_burst_interval_time = 1.500000
gun_fire_accuracy_cone_angle = 4
gun_fire_accuracy_power = 1.100000
gun_range_threshold = 1.100000
gun_target_point_switch_time = 0.300000
fire_style = multiple
auto_turret_interval_time = 0.200000
auto_turret_burst_interval_time = 1
auto_turret_no_burst_interval_time = 2
auto_turret_burst_interval_variance_percent = 0.500000
gun_range_threshold_variance_percent = 0.300000
gun_fire_accuracy_power_npc = 6

So, for auto_turrets, this platform shoots this gun 0.2 seconds slower (or 20% slower, don’t know exactly, but at least slower than it could) than it could and in bursts, shooting for 1 second (50% variance) and waiting for 2 seconds (also with 50% variance I think). gun_target_point_switch_time is 0.300000, so it shoots the position the target had 0.3 seconds before.
