Few questions

Post by nobody3 »

Does anyone know what does this line mean? I found it in tat2g_con lua

Code: Select all

SetProperty("FDL-2", "IsLocked", 1)
2nd thing is, out of curiosity, would it be possible to stop "Lock On" thing to stop forcing you to aim at only one enemy? I know i dont have to use it but I can see/focus on enemies better that way but it affects my aiming

3rd question is what exactly does this code do?

Code: Select all

AISnipeSuitabilityDist

I searched the forum but I couldnt find answer

Thanks :)

1) SetProperty is a generic LUA command to set some property. In this case it looks like it's locking some door or something - FDL-2 refers to some specific object name given in ZE. I can't use ZE atm, so I don't know what object that's pointing to.

2) I'm not sure what you mean. I know lock-on directs homing missiles, but any other weapons you should be able to fire anywhere.

3) At a guess, it's to do with AI sniping behavior, setting some optimal distance for them to shoot. But I thought there was an ODF line that already did that.

Perhaps he means that when you lock on an enemy your gun auto aims at that character, making it harder to shoot different enemies. (Or is that only in PS2?)

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen on PC.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen on pc either, though I admit I don't use the lock-on function anywhere except in space.

About the lock on, you can turn that off in options, at least I think.[/pointless]
