ICE shows two mysterious parameters for projectiles:
Absolute speed = 1
Directional = 1
(sic)
What do these do exactly? (and I do mean exactly)
Side note:
Why isn't there a sub-forum for things which aren't CC or "other core" related topics?
This question for example is about cores properties in general, not a specific core. I only put it in the CC sub-forum for high visibility...
Projectile properties
IIRC:
Absolute speed = whether or not the ship current velocity is added to the initial projectile velocity. If you want the exact velocity formula, it's in CweaponIGC::FireWeapon(...) (igc\weaponIGC.cpp).
Directional = cosmetic only. whether or not the 2D sprite used to render the projectile has a "direction" (affects the rendering when looking sideways).
"other cores" has sub-forums for every core but it's also a forum, may be you didn't notice this because you need to scroll a bit down.
This is usually where "Core editing/ICE" topics are posted.

I thought that was it but I wanted to be absolutely sure...
I think many if not most people don't know that bullets can inherit ships speed.
Probably even fewer realise that it's not the same for diff weapons.
Wikification: If I don't hear opinions to the contrary, I'll add this to the wiki ICE and perhaps other pages.
*grunt*

I didnt because when in an ezekials sabre on rps with ff on you can catch up to your own bulletsSpinoza wrote:QUOTE (Spinoza @ Jul 3 2009, 05:37 AM) I thought that was it but I wanted to be absolutely sure...
