Planet Modules and TargetCountPerBank Issue

from Sins Forums

I'm having issues trying to get "PlanetModuleWeaponDefense" type entities to target multiple ships, no matter what number you place in TargetCountPerBank it still only picks one target, now my sudden realisation is that this might be a limitation created by the need to make the module face it's target (as obviously it can only face one point).

But before I complain bitterly, I was wondering if someone felt kind enough to check whether this occurs for them as well, or if it is just a bug I have managed to create for myself somewhere along the modding line.

Look for this line and change it to FALSE  , should be line number 81

"prefersToFocusFire TRUE" :fuzzy:

I'd already tried that, but tried it again just to make sure, and it makes no difference

Quick thought along the lines you were thinking with the facing issue. Can you set to false or off, so that it need not face the opponent to fire, and if that is so, will it then fire on multiple targets?

In the platform beam weapons for the beam defense, i got the BD to fire on multiple targets, although cosmetically it was sorta weird i entered values for front, back, right and left.

There are no firing points of course on the other sides, and so the weapons fire came out of the hull of the BD, but it did work.

Dont know if that helps, but hope you find it,

take care,

 P.S. after posting i thought if you brought it up you probably tested it, sorry. Hope you get it.

You may also need to add weapon Target Banks to it. Giving it the ability to fire in all directions does nothing if it cannot fire weapons due to lacking an actual weapon to fire on that side. It's like telling a person armed with a rifle to shoot in all directions at once. You need to equip it to do that first.
