-=SAM Turrets=- (New weapons development) | Forums

[Sandbirds]

Here is an idea i developed that could be used as a new type of weapons if Farcry2
Its called Sam Turrets and they can be used to throw missiles into the battlefield.

As you can see its some beds and tanks that when put together they create the missiles :P

Here i am shooting at the one missile to start a chain ignition to all of them.



Final Result....Lots of damage !!!!

Here is how it works.


You cant have a lot of explosive objects in the map...so 8 tanks per team is the limit.
First you start by setting 4 beds next to eachother as the base.

Then add some military boxes to guide the tanks to their direction.Again you put the boxes next to eacho ther, and actually they are about 1 inch inside each other.

Then you add the tanks.

And here is what you should be careful about.
You see this picture inside the yellow circle ? Check which direction the valve of the tank is facing. That is the direction that the tanks will launch towards to when they leave the base.You can rotate the tank according to the direction you want it to go.

In this map that i made...all valves are facing down, so that the missiles will go towards the center of the map and down from the rooftop.

It can be tricky thing to align them perfectly but play with them a bit in the editor and you will get it.

Side launchers


At this example i've set the missiles to go towards the left side when they are launched. And look at the result.


When they are out of the warehouse they all go towards the center of the map. instead of straight.
Its a great way for defending your base.

I am including an example map with 2 sets of missiles for peripheral attach and 1 launcher on the rooftop for center attack.

Enjoy and spread the word on this new kick *** military improvement.

Awsome They look like they would be fun to use

Pretty inovative. I'll give you that. But the only flaw of the system is that when the propane tanks fly out don't they got every which way? Because they are propane tanks after all and would they be inaccurate? Other than that looks cool.

Actually the way you turn the tanks its the direction they will go towards to. Check the pics, i explain it.
90% accuracy

Nice pics, I was trying to make propane missles a while back, but never figured out a working holder for the propane tanks that would make them shoot out accurately. nice find.

That is a cool game element. I never see the tanks fly straight, but then again I never launched them from a structure that would guide them.

Very nice work!

I already saw that on a couple maps.
a guy named thraxus did that a lot.

I posted this guide a long time ago in another forum. Probably thats where he got the idea.

The missile launcher is a bit tricky to align properly but once you do some tests you can get it fixed. Usually 1 tank will go its own way...but the majority will hit the target Just play with the angle they turret has.

The side launchers are awesome also. I use the for defense on incoming cars. ahahah

[Gunner_576]

I have one question.

When you shoot one of the tanks does that one tank set the rest off, or do you have to shoot one by one?

Wow. That's amazing. You're actually producing new weapons with the equipment. You're a credit. I will give this a try.
