Let's make fireballs

Jubal:
Right, getting some tests done on meteor storms, just setting the mounts up at the moment. :)

Jubal:
Setting the Y offset too high seems to cause problems on non-flat surfaces, but I'm getting there.

comrade_general:
I must know if you get it working! zomg.

Jubal:
Okayyy... here are the results of my research.

Troops have a minimum downward fire angle. I don't know what it is or where it's set, but it is important. Essentially, then, there's a cone under the troop where they can't fire. There's also a max range, set in the troop description. The higher you put the troop, the wider the "cone" which they can't fire into, so the thinner the ring they can hit into. Beyond about a height of 15 or so above the root node, the cone gets wider than the max range and firing stops. You can make fairly good meteors for that reason, but not fantastic ones unless we can work out how to get that minimum angle decreased.

debux:
Lol? I though this was a continuation of the mod idea for outer space TW
