Fixed for mobile <--- if you are on android please download this instead

Edit: bug seemed fixed. you probably don't need to download the fix linked above, but i'll leave it there in case

I encountered an unexpected bug: SelectedWeapon = (string) command doesn't seem to work on the android version of the game.

A working Roman Ballista from the era of Julius Caesar. It can throw 15kg stones for more than 100 meters.

Controls:
+ Group 2
- Pitch / Roll - Elevation / Traverse
- Trim - Pull bolt carrier back
- FireWeapons

How to use:
- Activate Group 2
- Pull Trim slider down and wait for the crank to stop rotating.
- Push the slider all the way up and wait for the crank to stop rotating
- Make sure to select "Ballista" in the weapons section
- Press and hold FireWeapons for atleast 1 second

This ballista is only 85% reliable. If the bolt carrier gets free from the trigger group just pull the sliders back again.

You can fire this prematurely before the cranks stop rotating but it may not launch a projectile because it uses Ground Speed as trigger when firing the hidden cannon.

This is part of a much larger project that I'm currently doing.

Thanks to:

    @BeryllCorp believe it or not it was actually an improvement ;)

    Only left a small scar on the bridge of my nose and gave me a healthy fear of simple levers. If I hadn't had safety glasses it would have been much worse.

    the hidden cannon fires if the cockpit reaches 45 mph and FireWeapons is pressed. Sometimes it doesn't launch anything for me too especially when the game is lagging.

    And the other one does not fire
    (I mean it won’t launch the thing)
