How do i build an auto attack build, like the one in the droplet?

1,219 Novaxomix  2.9 years ago

I want to build a vehicle with an Auto Attack function, similar to the droplets, but it will intentionally avoid missiles,, and it should have similar handling to the droplet (hover, terrain avoidance, pitch and yaw, instant acceleration/deceleration) and I want it to be able to fly directly its target, fire guns at it(manual firing control of course, and run for some distance away after a strafing run). How do I do this?

    @Griffon1 i do not expect it to fire on its own, but what i want is something that does a strafing run, flying away an around so as to be a difficult target to shoot at. but thanks for the help!!!

    well you cant bind guns to a function, they are only manually controlled, I think. But Ive seen people make "Weapon UAVs" which do pursue a target and remain a certain distance, but not one that shoots by itself.
    Well, in theory maybe you can get a PID controller to control the FireGuns input, but that would trigger all the guns on the plane at once.
    I dont know Im only starting to get into PIDs
