| Summary | 0002309: $Corkscrew +Fire Delay fires too rapidly, and $Detonation Radius causes premature detonation when near friendly ships. | ||||
| Description | I have a missile that's designed to use $Corkscrew so that it can be a swarm weapon that doesn't twist randomly. For some odd reason, when fired from a ship with multi-firepoint single-part launchers with modeled launch tubes, the +Fire Delay is way to short. Despite being defined as 3000 ms in the table, it appears to be around 300 ms or shorter. Then, on missiles designed this way that also have $Detonation Radius applied, they detonate inside the launch tubes, resulting in the annihilation of the launching ship. Whenever I remove $Detonation Radius, the missiles launch, but still have the absurdly short swarm delay. | ||||
| Additional Information | I am using fs2_open_3_6_13d_INF_SSE-20100908_r6450.exe, with the 3.6.12 mediaVPs. The launcher flags I'm using are: -spec -glow -normal -img2dds -orbradar -rearm_timer -ballistic_gauge -ship_choice_3d -weapon_choice_3d -snd_preload -fps. Removing flags and the mvps does not help. Here's link to the log: http://pastebin.com/v6iqsp6r Here's the quasi-modpack so you can see what's happening: http://www.mediafire.com/?w52tt3d1joas18k | ||||

The download seems to have been deleted. Is it possible to re upload the data? |

Ooops sorry. Here's a link to the model file: http://www.mediafire.com/?rdl31t6a752ujgm And here's a table with some of the problematic entries: http://www.mediafire.com/?0uixj9z7bra5nb0 I wanted to test the $Detonation Radius alone, so I didn't set the $Corkscrew back on. Now, when $Detonation Radius is set, the missiles just won't fire. |

And a test mission, a weapons table with missiles set to display the whole bug, and a ship table set to use those missiles: Weapons: http://www.mediafire.com/?cbcbvo0vmqpdsl4 Ship: http://www.mediafire.com/?ctpde6t6k10d96d Mission: http://www.mediafire.com/?pyq9a9c6cuhep5j |

Okay, the issue seems to be that the code for corkscrew missiles doesn't seem to work properly for corkscrewers fired from turrets. Let me explain. In order to fire a corkscrew missile, the code has to go through cscrew_maybe_fire_missile() from corkscrew.cpp. In order to pass the tests found there, ship::num_corkscrew_to_fire has to be > 0. This variable is being set only in ship_fire_secondary(), which IIRC is never called for a secondary fired from a turret. (In addition, cscrew_maybe_fire_missile() assumes that the weapon will be fired from a secondary bank, not a turret, and will bail prematurely) |
|

Ok. I committed fix for the odd delay of the turret launched corkscrew missiles in r7144 |
|
|
You can either use the minimum range setting to prevent turrets from firing at too close distance or then use free flight time to make sure missiles get far enough from the turret before exploding. |
|
|
Is this still an issue? |
|
|
This was a pretty mediocre test mission, in that it took 5 minutes for anything to happen and 7:41 until I actually saw missiles launching out of the launch tubes. :doubt: Nevertheless, it appears that the two problems described in the ticket are no longer present. So I'm calling this fixed per Wanderer's commit. |
