I'm trying to find out if it is possible to restrict the firing of abilities with the front,back,left,right arcs used for firing weapons. The reason I would like to do this is to prevent an ability from firing when the target is not in the line of sight of the ability hardpoint. Does anybody know how one could accomplish this?
Well, there is the bool in the ability file for whether or not it has to face the target. This may or may not work for orientations other than directly ahead of the ship.
You can make the ability only work if the target is forward by doing as Volt mentioned and set must face target to True. There is also some weird directional cone thing they added for the Maw with might be of use, not entirely sure how that could be used.
That said, more than likely if you want something besides forward, its not going to work. Depending on the buff you might want to apply it on an actually weapon fired.
Yeah, as far as I know you can only force abilities to fire forwards. I like to use it for heavy forward/spinal mount guns =D
You can apply a buff to all targets in a cone. Look at the Ragnarov's Scattershot to see how that works.
You have have the ability affect all in radius too and multiple hardpoints so it looks proper.
