Fires very fast & accurate Missiles that lock onto the target most likely to be hit as most Doom weapons do, the closer target is to the central area of your field of vision, the more likely it will be targeted. Homing Missiles may track their own targets (excluding allies) if their original target has died before the missile hits it, but the new target must be in the player's field of vision. This weapon has a strong recoil, but it makes a better choice for taking out fast moving enemies & flying enemies, then the Rocket Launcher or most other weapons due to it's speed & very high accuracy. Uses separate ammo. Carrying 40-80 Homing Missiles. Field of Vision: The Field of vision is defined by a 84° cone from the shooter. This is the Player's field of vision, most noticed by how far all 40 BFG-9000 tracers spread after the the BFG-Ball explodes. Anything in that area is instantly targeted by a missile. It then depends on how close they are to you, the closer they are, the more likely they will be targeted first. Finding a new target: The chances of finding a new target are 75/256, the missiles will only chase any valid target that is within a preset map unit distance of that missile. It keeps searching (traveling in direction fired) until it explodes. (Default = 50/256 if you feel this is too high) Targeting Allies: This weapon won't target Allies but will damage them if they get in the way of the Missile. More information on SMF_LOOK tracking flag used, taken from ZDOOM-WIKI: [UPDATES] 01/06/30 Added new flags to: -Increase effectiveness of Long Distance Targeting. -Increase Missile chance to Target Flying Enemies. Missiles fired might track a target on their own: -Only if no target was is acquired before shooting -Only if that new target is in the Player's line of sight. Missiles have an improved curve when chasing targets to increase accuracy: -Missiles maintain speed while changing direction -Increased accuracy does not guarantee a 100% success rate of hitting the target 09/07/16 -As requested by Administration all image files have been swapped from DOOM to PNG format. -Key Config & Lump summon numbers removed as requested by Administration. -The Weapon's kickback has been reduced (from 800 to 300), this does not affect damage, it reduces the chances of enemies being pushed out of sight too easily. Harder enemies are now less likely to be forced backward. -The Missile's trial now appears behind the rocket instead of inside or in front of it (Thank you for pointing this out Blue Shadow) I only take credit for creating the weapon's decorate & deciding to make this as my own weapon and creating the ammo used. -Sprites taken from "99 Weapons" Wad submitted onto DoomWorld by Daniel. -Sounds taken from "Armas29" Wad submitted onto DoomWorld by Daniel. Formerly known as the Bazooka, until an update on 27/05/2016.

Good to finally the credits right ![:P](https://www.realm667.com/tongue.gif ":P") ![:)](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/emoticons/cacsmi.gif ":)") SMF_LOOK wasn't used as I thought, it would just make it fly off at random targets, while it is tracking ok, it is a bit of a pain having to get close to make it work properly, Tested the weapon with it as well as the "SCREENSEEKER" flag on to stop it flying at anything not in the player's field of vision & the "SMF_CURSPEED" flag for a smoother curve but not pin-point accuracy set up. Will update the description when the updated file is added, this new update makes taking out flying enemies a lot easier & it's lot more compatible for those not using Free-Look settings to target enemies, the new changes really make the weapon stand out more now.

Fires very fast & accurate Missiles that lock onto the target most likely to be hit as most Doom weapons do, the closer target is to the central area of your field of vision, the more likely it will be targeted. Homing Missiles may track their own targets (excluding allies) if their original target has died before the missile hits it, but the new target must be in the player's field of vision. This weapon has a strong recoil, but it makes a better choice for taking out fast moving enemies & flying enemies, then the Rocket Launcher or most other weapons due to it's speed & very high accuracy. Uses separate ammo. Carrying 40-80 Homing Missiles. Field of Vision: The Field of vision is defined by a 84° cone from the shooter. This is the Player's field of vision, most noticed by how far all 40 BFG-9000 tracers spread after the the BFG-Ball explodes. Anything in that area is instantly targeted by a missile. It then depends on how close they are to you, the closer they are, the more likely they will be targeted first. Finding a new target: The chances of finding a new target are 75/256, the missiles will only chase any valid target that is within a preset map unit distance of that missile. It keeps searching (traveling in direction fired) until it explodes. (Default = 50/256 if you feel this is too high) Targeting Allies: This weapon won't target Allies but will damage them if they get in the way of the Missile.

I left the Key-Config in to avoid problems with switching weapons- sometimes when collecting a new weapon you can't swap it or drop it, But that problem doesn't affect this so I'll take all the keyconfig off & remove the lump numbers. I had no idea that images not being PNG was an issue, but will change them to PNG format. :oops: I've set the smoke trails further back, when testing it's just behind the missiles (or a close I can get it without being too far behind). Thank you for pointing this out. It's made it look a lot better ![:)](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/emoticons/cacsmi.gif ":)") Weapon's Kickback reduced to 300 from 800, it knocks weaker monsters & flying monsters back (but nowhere near as far or fast as before) so it's similar to the Rocket Launcher. So now, it won't knock back bigger enemies like Barons or bosses ![:)](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/emoticons/cacsmi.gif ":)") The changes have been made, the file is uploaded.

In that case, ONLY the weapons assigned in KEYCONF for that slot are accessible--that can prevent you from accessing pre-existing weapons if you don't assign them as well. Using the property "Weapon.SlotNumber", like you're doing now, is more advisable. Last edit: 10 years 1 month ago by MagicWazard.
