18:30.27blast007JeffM: with custom flags, am I thinking right that there's not a way to increase the reload time?
18:30.43JeffMnot on a per tank basis
18:30.54blast007k
18:31.06JeffMthat would be a good thing
18:31.36JeffMsorry, a good thing to make per tank
18:31.39blast007was thinking about an RPG flag that fired an unguided GM and triggered a SW at the shot end
18:31.56JeffMmake it drop on fire
18:32.00JeffMthen it's a one shot
18:32.05blast007yup, one shot limit
18:32.17blast007that was my plan B  :)
18:32.25JeffMuse GM updates to make it lob ;)
18:32.31blast007heh...
18:32.52blast007mortar out!  *vooopm*
18:33.48blast007or a really evil missile that flys around obstacles
18:46.44*** join/#bzflag swigg (~swigg@bzflag/player/Swigg)
18:50.10blast007JeffM: custom flags can't lock onto tanks even if their shot type is set to GM, correct?
19:03.07JeffMthe GM update message has the target in it, and that is what does the lock
19:03.38JeffMbassiicly if your client sees itself as the target it does a "Whoop"
19:11.33JeffMIf I remember correctly
19:11.45JeffMthere is some aspect of the GM steering that is handled on each client
19:11.54JeffMbut the message tells the cliens what to lock onto
19:20.42blast007ah, and it seems that setTarget() in playing.cxx does check for both the GM flag and the GM shot type
19:21.33JeffMthen yeah it'd need a player
19:21.35JeffMthat sucks
19:21.55JeffMthat means no server side GM till proto break
19:22.17blast007no, I'm talking client-side
19:22.22JeffMI know
19:22.29JeffMand I was hoping to overide the client logic
19:22.32JeffMfrom the server
19:22.37blast007I was curious if I player would be able to actually right click and lock with a custom flag
19:22.41blast007if a*
19:22.45JeffMahh that, no
19:22.59JeffMwe'd need to turn that into an "enable lock" bit that we sent
19:22.59blast007what I'm seeing is that *yes* it should work ;)
19:23.09blast007if the shot type is a GM, I mean
19:23.36blast007((myTank->getFlag() == Flags::GuidedMissile) || tankHasShotType(myTank, Flags::GuidedMissile))
19:23.53JeffMoh it's OR
19:24.01JeffMyeah that'd work
19:24.05JeffMI thought you were saying AND
19:24.11blast007ah, yeah, sorry :)
19:24.15JeffMbig diff
19:24.38blast007wasn't trying to speak in boolean terms but as a list of things it checks ;)
19:24.49JeffMyeah
19:25.01JeffMbut the operator is quite important in how it checks the list
19:25.07blast007yup
19:25.23JeffMso yeah it shold work for you then you just SW death those GM expires
19:25.34JeffMwhen you know they have the custom flag
19:25.41blast007yup
19:27.25blast007I'd probably force the RPG to just be dumb-fire, but it'd be useful for other things (like an ultra-smart GM)
