Min/Max target size?

Post by linki98 »

It's about two hours i try to understand how min/max target size works ! My fighter is like 34,95 of size and the canon of the enemy should only fire on 50+ sized enemies, but they're still firing on my little fighter ! How does it work ?

Simply put; it doesn't. The coding for that particular feature was never completed.

I suppose there's no intention of completing it, is there? Not that it matters, but it could add some strategic fun, where you need to have certain ships that target small enemies as well as some for large ones, instead of just needing firepower in general.
Quite frankly I wonder why I ever began making ships for this. You see, my work never becomes quite as good as I feel it deserves to.

I suppose someone with the source or th himself should do that. As far as I know only a few people have it, but I can't exactly remember who. One of them was Starstruck, but I haven't seen any signs of him for a long time.

Say Arc, if you happen to have the source, could you try finish this bit of code? :D

(Yes, I know that made as little sense as the old last two lines of my sig)

Linki, you should have read the rules. It actually says specifically NOT to ask for the source.

Arcalane: Why oh why. Oh well, you're busy and it's not really that important for the stability. Could you at least put it at the bottom of some to-do-list? :D

Let's see...

Anna is too busy (you can tell by the fact there's no updates to his story)

Starstruck hasn't even posted at all for a while

TH... is busy at Bungie.

Well.. Shit.

Right.. I'm guessing you're just in the mood for pictures instead of typing. Let's leave this alone and let it be closed/locked/eaten or whatever.

I have this feeling all threads that discuss source/source code end up like this, might be me though.

It's not just you Desert.
Also linki, this game is already abandoned and we are merely just a small tea party enjoying tea and dropping by when we want to relax so don't expect this game to get an update, just enjoy the tea for what it is.

How many are we active by the way?

I don't know, really. You, me, Arc (somewhat), some people who occasionally comment on your shipses. Oh, and Anna if he's not busy working.

So that might just add up to about a dozen people! Huzzah!
