Would it be possible to enable certain weapons to display the "Incoming Missiles!" (i.e. game.missilelock) when someone is being targeted by a homing weapon? This would be for a ground infantry map by the way, so all homing weapons are fired by infantry, no vehicles.
If that is just a pipedream, is adding the typical "guided rocket" icons to the mini-map possible? (The X-Wing icon). Thanks in advance everyone!

Re: Just for fun HUD question
I know that in a geonosis map(http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... 25th;81707) someone made it possible so that you could lock on to infantry with a rocket launcher, but I am not sure if the afore said question would work.

Well, I'm able to have the weapons lock on just fine, however the person who has been locked-on isn't notified of their impending doom.

Re: Just for fun HUD question
i don't know about the first thing, but you should be able to put an icon on the minimap for a missle. take a look in the rep_fly_gunship_sc.odf or the rep_walk_atte (command walker) for lines on mm iconsSakujyo wrote: If that is just a pipedream, is adding the typical "guided rocket" icons to the mini-map possible?

Those are a type of "flyer", are they not? I guess its worth a shot though.
I already had that code in for the missiles, but I did not change the type to "flyer"...because I feared a crash >_>;

Re: Just for fun HUD question
you cant change the class of the odf, only use the lines related to the hudicon/minimapicon, i think they are:
Code: Select all
MapTexture = "tridroidfighter_icon"
HealthTexture = "HUD_cis_maf_icon"
MapScale = 1.5
MapViewMin = 750
MapViewMax = 750-

Re: Just for fun HUD question
Yeah, I had the same code in there for the X-Wing icon as exemplified by the guided rocket ord - however nothing appeared to show up on the map when the weapon was fired. I guess this just can't be done then XD. Thanks for the help anyways everyone.

Re: Just for fun HUD question
The problem with this is, they'll probably get blasted before they even notice they're being fired at, as a missile moves so fast. In space you're moving fast as well so it takes a while to reach you, but not on land.
