Tracking Bug

Here's a fun mod for the Rocket Launcher to shoot out a 'tracking bug'.
Same damage effects as rocket, but locks on and tracks you wherever you go.

First, open Entity (I use 1.6UE) and locate the "Rocket Launcher" under the [WEAP] tag, then in the meta editor at the right, scroll down to "Magnetism Angle Radians"
Change this value to 0.5745329

Click the image to open in full size.

Next scroll down to Barrels and under both Barrel #0 & #1 click the "Tracks Fired Projectile" box (don't forget to hit save after each one)

Click the image to open in full size.

Now go to the [PROJ] tag and click on "objects\weapons\support_high\rocket_launcher\proj ectiles\rocket" and right near the top change the [HLMT] tag to "objects\weapons\melee\energy_blade\energy_bla de". This will give the projectile the look of the sword Handle (which resembles a robot when flying at you :p )

Click the image to open in full size.

You can see when it's near you as it gives off a yellow glow, but I like to have the warning noise too (if it misses you once). Also, we need to slow it down a bit, so scroll down to Initial & Final Velocity and change the values to 1.7 and just above that, change the "Fly By"
from "null null" to "snd! sound\weapons\rocket_launcher\tracking_locking\loc king\loop"

Click the image to open in full size.

That's it. Now lock on, shoot a couple off and wait for them to track down their prey

Re: Tracking Bug

Nice tutorial but what exactly is the difference from a regular lock on?

Re: Tracking Bug

It works more like a needler than a rocket. It follows the actual player, not vehicles like usual rockets. Only it tracks for a much longer period of time.

His Barrel option is the Trigger box. Need a updated plugin to have the options added. In the Plug I have there invisible options and there labeled in bits. I'm looking for a plugin like his. Hope that helps.
