YAY, more helicopters!

 

[Loru]

\o/ Thank you Gattispilot.

YAY, more helicopters!

Not just a helicopter. This is the AIRWOLF! ceiling of 100,000ft, weapons, mach 2+, invisible to radar...... thank you Gattispilot! :thumbup:

 

[Scorpius]

Wow, thanks! I like this TV series and the helicopter too! :thumbup:

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I guess one the combat module is finished you could fire the missiles and guns.
I thought about added at least a sound of the guns if fired.

 

[Loru]

Particle emmiters could emulate guns with ease. It won't destroy anything but still may look nice.

 

[gattispilot]

Like adding an exhaust?

IF so I can add that and find a sound. Or just show barrel light up

 

[Loru]

Here is effect of quick test (spacecraft3 DG with retros altered to guns)

and spacecraft3 particle definition

[PARTICLESTREAM_1]
NAME=DGMain
SRCSIZE=0.2
SRCRATE=15
V0=450.0
SRCSPREAD=0.0
LIFETIME=3.0
GROWTHRATE=0
ATMSLOWDOWN=0.1
LTYPE=EMISSIVE
LEVELMAP=LVL_SQRT
LMIN=1
LMAX=1
ATMSMAP=ATM_PLOG
AMIN=1
AMAX=1
TEX=Themis-A\srb-particle-fire

 

[gattispilot]

Looks good. So I show add retro engines and use the particles for it. And then use the fire gun key to fire retro?

 

[Loru]

and second piccy (as you can see bullet stream angles correctly to DG movement)

 

[gattispilot]

And then add a sound

 

[Loru]

I'd define just key triggered particle emiter and not tie it to engines. I'm not a coder and I'm limited to spacecraft3 but I think it's possible without any real thruster

If you engage retros Orbiter shutdowns main engines.

I noticed that

ATMSMAP=ATM_PLOG
AMIN=1
AMAX=1

this should be altered as guns don't work above 2000 meters (that's atmospheric cutoff for smoke rendering). You'll have to experiment with different settings to achieve satisfactory results.

 

[gattispilot]

Which guns? Maybe just 2 barrels? there are 6 in total

 

[Loru]

They're so close to eachother that texture will merge upon firing. I'd say 2 are just enough for particles but you can light up all guns while shooting.

BTW I've noticed that "bullets" bounces off the ground

 

[gattispilot]

Like this:

Now to found a sound

 

[Loru]

I'd replace stream texture with something more yellowish:

 

[gattispilot]

Here is Loru's texture for the guns

try this has a gun sound. 4 to fire 5 to stop pod must be out

If you engage retros Orbiter shutdowns main engines.

Mains are tied to the turbo thrusters, correct? If so, I can't recall in the show ever seeing the guns fire (or even deployed) while the thrusters were being fired.

Just my :2cents:

 

[gattispilot]

What I did is made fake main thrusters. 0 thrust

SURFHANDLE 	gun_tex = oapiRegisterParticleTexture ("srb-particle-fire");

static PARTICLESTREAMSPEC gunfire_main = {
		0, .2, 15, 500, 0.0, 3.0, 0, .1, PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::EMISSIVE,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::LVL_SQRT, 1, 1,
		PARTICLESTREAMSPEC::ATM_PLOG, 1e-5, 0.1,
		gun_tex
		
	};	

th_main[1] = CreateThruster (_V(-3.285,-1.347,3.822), _V(0,0,-1), 0, hpr, PB_ISP);
	AddExhaustStream (th_main[1],_V(-2.48,-1.347,3.822),&gunfire_main);
	AddExhaustStream (th_main[1],_V(2.48,-1.347,3.822),&gunfire_main);

And then if firing full thrust of the engine
