I have gotten permission to reupload the updated ship from original author.




The Khopesh is an atmospheric multiple shot reloadable anti-fighter/bomber craft with tracking missiles using the new Easy Lidar Homing Script.

After the Jericho cluster launcher a few weeks ago I wanted to look at other (more appropriate) uses for the awesome tracking script and so revisited an old and very simple missile design to see if it could work for this.

The blueprint to accompany the attached video from my YouTube channel!

#1 - Fire One Missile (Home to center of the target)
#2 - Fire Missile in Offset Mode (Home to locked-on camera aimpoint of the target)
#7 - Toggle Weld New Missiles (Can be welded while moving)
#9 - Aiming Camera




1) Use Button #9 to aim at target.
2) Use Button #1 to fire missile.
3) Aim at target until you hear a Sound Block Alert (4 short beeps). Target is locked at this stage.
4) Proceed to engage other targets.

To weld new missiles, use Button #7 to toggle Welders & Projector On/Off. Press #9 again to turn them off after welding.

Note: You can use Button #2 to launch missile in offset mode. It will home to the point where the camera is locked-on to the target (the 4 short beeps). This is used for assaulting specific points of a large target such as a helicarrier, instead of aiming the center.

Note: Max lock-on range is 3km. To increase range, add another line to the Custom Data of the Missile Programmable Block's Custom Data.

e.g. To set 5km ==> LIDAR_MAX_LOCK_DISTANCE = 5000
