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.

Have had to do the same with the Nailgun & Nailgun SG from here for example, even when a weapon selection order & slot was allocated there was problems. Added a Key Config to backup the statement of where the weapons needed placing & they work fine. Lump numbers, can always be changed by the users. Example 1500 can be changed to 1501 etc, I leave the numbers in because they were what I'd used at the time (example with the Allied Marines), it allows faster testing and users downloading the files, are then free to change whatever numbers need changing. Whether or not extra rules should be put in or detailed more-- I'm not sure if it's really right for me to say, I'm not an Administrator and despite some the high detail on this and other submitted items, I still consider myself a "rookie", too inexperienced and don't have the right to say what should or shouldn't change (I get nervous a feeling that I'm being assertive even if it's just positive feedback). But I will say that both of you have helped me get current all my current submitted content to meet other users expectations without malice or that feeling of pressuring to do so, accepting & willing to help because in the end, it is about trial & error. And whatever changes you feel need to be put into place, I will try to follow as best as I can. Last edit: 10 years 1 month ago by DBJ87.

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.
