We had this causing dedicated-server crashes whenever a player launched missiles. No weaponcore, but definitely with other mods.

Give it a solid try in creative before you rely on it; it maybe out of date in some subtle ways. (=

I absolutely adore this mod, but it really does need different ammo types - one homing and one dumb fire. Sometimes, I don't want my missile to lock, like when specifically targeting a particular component, but I still need a lock because gun tracking. There's several other niche circumstances like drones and turrets, but I think you get the point. Plz, Lord Cython. I beg thee. Throw us a bone.

I use this mod along with Unguided rockets for VHM, i noticed rocket turrets use homing missiles, making going after NPC maydays really interesting. is there a way to swap homing missiles and dumb fire rockets for vanilla ammo in npc ships?

This mod is indeed working. To those looking to increase missle range or speed look at configurable paramaters mod. Its also a good way to balance all your NON-WEAPONCORE weapon mods.

Mods =/= Vanilla

yeah but it's not compatiple with the CTC block too

@TORGMASTER and @Everyone experiencing issues.

TL;DR
The mod works fine. I retested it again, still works as expected.
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ISSUES, MAKE SURE YOUR WORLD DOES NOT HAVE WEAPONCORE LOADED. THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE. HAVING WC LOADED IN YOUR WORLD PRODUCES THE ERRORS PPL ARE SAYING BELOW.

Be careful what mods you add! If a weapon mod has WC listed as a dependency, it will load WC *automagically*. Check that your world is not running WC if you want to use this mod.

please update, because this cannot function no more

@Lord titanius anglesmith

Any mod that increases vanilla rocket range will do, doesn't need to be specifically compatible with this mod

way to increase the missile range ?

So far as I can tell this still works, tested in a world by itself.

Target locking functions as expected and the missiles track targets.

Proximity fuse seems a little too far for very small targets (I had trouble killing a SPRT Stinging Adversary because the missiles didn't do much damage even though they were hitting the stationary target), but for most targets it works great, they certainly damage MY craft just fine when getting hit by them.

Could be mod incompatibilities causing issues.

Would also love to see an update for this.

this still being worked on ?

Update please as i would love to use this mod

Will this be updated?

awesome mod, can you update it for Automatons..because it's broken now
like if you have this mod installed, the homing missile doesn't fuinction, and the target locking doesn't function well
please try to fix this, because is a cool mod

Hey man, cool stuff. Could you rewrite the characteristics of the rocket for balancing?
The missile is too fast (reduce acceleration speed), too maneuverable and too short range (1600m should be okay)

it doesn't seem to be working

Could you also potentially consider making them chase targets directly rather than predicting their location? It's a tad bit busted

Hey, could you please make it so that it targets decoys first?

Hi
Would it be possible to use your mod in a weapon mod pack I made? It would be perfect for missiles so I could bypass the Weapon core.

was repling to davto

AWP is distinctly not WC

it doesnt need to work with weaponcore lol weaponcore HAS homing missiles

Can this be made to work on the Assault weapons pack 220 missiles or 800mm torpedos?

@davtopgun, Ah! That explains alot

This doesn't work with WeaponCore, sadly

Is it possible to add a longer lock on range to the missile?

I don't think the oki weapons pack allow this mod to work with the other MSL/7 rocket launcher.. my server has the mod but not an option to build the missiles

Can you slow them down, or make a countermeasure system to go along with this? Not sure what's possible with vanilla modding, but adding a flare, or slow moving cannon shell, that you can fire from a backward facing weapon that acts like a countermeasure chaff would rule. Or maybe a flare item that you can plop out the back with an ejector.

These missiles are awesome but.... too powerful!

The one question i got is this: is this compatible with WeaponCore?

if it is, then this just became my one of my default go-to mods ^.^

I have a problem with rockets running on a dedicated server..... they just fly straight. At the same time, everything works in the local game

After some testing I find that the missles work to well making it almost impossible to dodge them with a fighter.

@Cython At first thanks for all your work.

Do you know if your Homing Missiles works under Weapon Core lock system? Some of my favourite modded cockpits doesn't work with new warfare system and I can't select any target.

I'm hopefull because WC lock targets with every cockpit I used.

See ya, and thanks again!

"If I don't hear from you in a week or so, I'll assume you're alright with it."

Silence is not consent.

Hi!
I'd like to use the script for guidance in my mod.
If I don't hear from you in a week or so, i'll assume you're alright with it.
proper credits will be given, and it will be removed on request if you decide it is not alright down the line.

Hope to hear from you. cheers!

Would it be possible to add the Dumb Fire Override to the toolbar (G) menu? Great mod!

Does the AI make use of this when firing at you?

If you are interested i think i figured it out. In the code it does not appear to be taking your ships velocity into account when updating the missile velocity so they always launch at initial speed stated in the ammos xml. i dont know coding but i think adding a grid velocity check in public void UpdateVelocity() may clear this up

Does this substitute the missile ammo definition? if i launch them with nothing locked they follow my custom changes to missiles in the "ammo" xml file but if i target lock and fire they seem to follow a different speed profile (If im speeding toward a target i can run into my own missiles when they are homing but with no target lock they follow speeds i set in the xml file)

Even with the guide you posted, missiles still do not lock onto targets, they only shoot in a straight line. Maybe an update broke the mod.

Keen released a guide on it together with the Warfare II update: https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/new-players/warfare2-combat-guide/

I still have no clue how to lock onto targets, it's not obvious how to do so. Description says what it locks onto, but doesn't say how to do it, I can only fire unlocked missiles until there's a way to lock on.

How do you lock on? Am I stupid?

@Marcus: re: initial launch collisions, you can fire the missiles in trail of your vector, retrograde. i.e. flip the launchers to face back the way you came, and launch. The homing script rapidly swings them around; I don't think they are significantly affected by mass or gravity. I'm using missiles with 0 m/s initial velocity and +50 m/s^2 acceleration, high top speed (1400 m/s, but irrelevant within the missile flight time), and they are making a 180 U turn arc of about 250 m (125 m radius) from my launchers (I pointed my ship directly away from the enemy). If your vector is parallel to the target's, then you can get away with pointing only 90 degrees away from the target.

Note that launchers mounted too close together seem to cause missiles to sometimes fratricide during maneuvers. I have 2 launchers spaced 1 block between, and I'm seeing maybe 10-20% of my missiles blow up if they have to turn (with no point-defense gatling fire).

@MonsterHunter_43 No they do no they have to have a player select the target. Another thing I found is its not MP friendly because it does not track grids that are loaded in from far way.

Do missiles fired by an unmanned grid have homing properties? because they don't seem to :l

@Cython I would like to use this mod in a mod pack I'm making meaning re-uploading it. Thx either way.

Do missiles fired by an unmanned grid not track natively, or am I missing something?

Currently, if they miss their target, they circle back and miss again and again, orbiting in limbo. Might be a good idea to let them despawn after they've flown their max distance.
