Detailed Description

Shared-Entity: Mountable Mortar Turret.

QUAKED func_tankmortar (0 .5 .8) ?

OVERVIEW

A mountable tank mortar turret type entity. A player (or NPC) can interact with it and shoot it. It's in the same family as the func_tank entity, the difference being that this shoots mortar blasts and not bullets.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "yawrate" : The speed of the left/right movement of the mortar.
• "yawrange" : Range of left/right movement in degrees.
• "pitchrate" : The speed of the up/down movement of the mortar.
• "pitchrange" : Range of up/down movement in degrees.
• "barrel" : Distance from origin to barrel tip in units.
• "barrely" : Horizontal distance origin to the center of the barrel tip.
• "barrelz" : Vertical distance origin to the center of the barrel tip.
• "firerate" : Number of bullets fired per second.
• "iMagnitude" : Power of each explosion.
• "firespread" : Accuracy of the mortar. 0 is best, 4 is worst.
• "persistance" : Time in seconds for how long an NPC might continue shooting.
• "minRange" : Minimum range the target can be at for an NPC to fire.
• "maxRange" : Maximum range the target can be at for an NPC to fire.
• "spritesmoke" : Sprite to spawn for 'smoke' when the entity is fired.
• "spriteflash" : Sprite to spawn for a 'muzzleflash' when the entity is fired.
• "spritescale" : Scale multiplier for both smoke and flash sprites.
• "rotatesound" : Sound file to play in a loop while barrel is rotating.

NOTES

I don't like the sprite stuff tacked on at all because of the extra networking involved and because it's so awfully GoldSrc specific. Eventually I need to design a more generic routine that allows people to just refer to materials with the appropriate blend-modes instead of hardcoding that some random sprites needs to be treated additive.

TRIVIA
