I'm trying to tweak the Eryx missile to die at 600m, but I can't figure out the number of commands that affect the missile's speed. I've been changing the TimetoLive line a lot, but can't get even close with that. Here's the weapon and missile tweaks:

Velocity in the launcher determines the speed that the projectile leaves the barrel, after which the maxSpeed and Acceleration values in the projectile itself will take over, and it will try to reach a constant maximum speed to satisfy these - minus any resistance caused by the Drag value

me, i'd persist with refining the TimeToLive value and limit the missile that way, rather than risk harming its flight characteristics by changing its speed etc. (assuming you were happy with the original speed, of course)

Quote

ObjectTemplate.timeToLive CRD_NONE/10/0/0

also maybe try specifying the value directly, instead of passing it through the random number genny - e.g.

ObjectTemplate.timeToLive 1.32 or whatever value suits your needs

[Outlawz]

So what's CRD_NONE?

[DEVILMAN]

setup 2 markers in a map,using either the editor measuring tool,or xyz coordinates
place a large object at one end,possibly a destroyable object
adjust the TTL for the projectile,so it dies just before reaching the 600 meter target

Note...because the projectile is wire guided,if it is steered off its direct path,the 600 meters (in a straight line)will be less
