Title: [REQUEST] Alternate Proximity fuse against missiles only
Post by: Tartiflette on March 19, 2019, 03:27:25 PM

Pretty much what it says on the tin: I'm trying to make a "Premium small PD solution", and to make that weapon reliably hit missiles, it has to have a proximity fuse. Problem is, "Flak" weapons can't have a radius small enough to reliably hit a single missiles while still be able to damage ships:

That puff is a 5px radius fuse triggering far away from a ship hull

A simple solution to make a pd weapon that does not rely on either fire volume or large proximity fuse would be to have another behavior that only triggers the fuse against missiles.

Added "vsMissileRange" to the shot behavior spec, goes on the same level as "range". So in your case you'd set that to whatever, and set "range" to 0 to make the proximity fuse not get triggered by ships. Let me know if I missed something obvious here! I mean, seems like that should cover it, but it's been that kind of day...

Thanks! That should do it indeed.
