[Request] homing rocket behavior

Hello;

Bullet is a great behavior, but we also could use a homing rocket behavior with these properties:

A target UID it homes on.

A max turning rate (like 5 degrees per second)

an initial launch speed and direction

an acceleration

a Max Speed

a fuel or range limit

a flag for "explode" when out of fuel or target lost

A flag for "explode" when within a certain distance of target

an on colision notification

It looks to me like altering the Turret behavior (because this behavior aquires targets) and blending

it with the pin behavior (since this behavior tracks a target) might be the way to go.

Thanks for your time.

I had made a behavior which could predict the interception point of a target object. Here is a demo (sample capx).

I prefer not to bind moving behavior which changing the position or angle of object, with strategy behavior which provide the reference information.

For example, this behavior would provide a prediction position, and the moving behavior might use car behavior, custom moving, bullet+ set angle etc.

Thanks for the demo link rexrainbow. I had thought of using car behavior for the movement--but I wasn't sure how to separate the behavior from the input keys. I will play around with it and your prediction behavior.

The turret behavior + pin combines movement behavior and strategy behavior and it is pretty popular combination so I still think a homing missile (or homing fire spell etc) type behavior would be useful to a lot of people. Still, it is a combination of two behaviors.

Thanks for your time.

I made this, maybe you can use parts of it I have put in as many comments as i could, to make it understandable. But should be somewhat simple.

Fuel Gauge

Spends X amount of fuel each second.

Target Switching

When the rocket cannot see you, it expands it vision field and finds a secondary target, nearest itself.

CapX

Homing Rocket

This plugin by rex might make a good homing missile:

winkr7 Hi.

Do you find or create missile homing behavior or system?

—

No, I never got a missile homing addin.

You can do all of that with bullet, and line of sight.

newt

is thins way better or turret ?

Honestly I would go with Line of Sight.

Turret is made to be the shooter, not the .. shot.

Aha, Ok, can i simulate missile earth to earth with bullet ?

Yeah, you have to do the picking yourself.

rocket has los to planet

planet pick closest to rocket

rocket set angle to anglelerp(self.angle,angle(self.x,self.y,planet.x,planet.y), something*dt)

wow, thank you, i go for try it.

i'm sorry , what is " something section?

can you share the capx? please!

Something is speed of turn.
