When using a cannon in your build.

13.7k Shnippy  4.6 years ago

When you have a cannon in your build, I have noticed that if you set the cannon’s “disableAircraftCollisions” to true, not only will the cannon projectiles phase through your plane, they will phase through any a.i. enemy plane as well. Just thought I’d share this with anybody who didn’t know.

    Thanks. That seems to be the general consensus. @vcharng

    Yeah when the cannon part was first introduced it is VERY easy to blow yourself up, so in the end they made it that way.

    Also, it is possible to make your cannon shell impact another plane without blowing yourself up. Just turn off collision model for every OTHER part at and in front of the cannon.

    It's actually easier than the original gun.

    Fair enough, I honestly had no idea until I did a little testing. And thanks for the upvote @TheMachinist

    @Roswell that’s what I was pretty sure you were talking about.

    If you are trying to make a custom gun barrel, just make the parts of the barrel have disableAircraftCollisions set to true.

    It's best to make the cannon model have disableAircraftCollisions True not the cannon part itself due to this problem.

    My builds are all futuristic, so I have a reason to make most of them have missiles with 360* lock angle.

    It was literally the only time that I have shot down a plane without using missiles :)
