Re: [EXTENSION] Sidewinder
 
Have you tried it with crit tracker as 0 and the tracking on?
From what I understood, crit tracker is the convar that makes it only track crits.
Could be wrong, though.

Yes, I tried each possible combination of settings. None of which force homing with non-crit rockets or other projectiles.

Confirmed. Same thing happens with Linux as well.

Also, it doesn't seem to work with anything but pipebombs and rockets.

And, it seems homingchance, when set to 0, will not override the crit_tracker function, when set to 1.

Well, considering now that the rockets from a soldier work; would it not be possible to create an artificial entity that would perform the same event as the soldier's rocket-firing, to be able to have it start moving? (At set intervals of course)

Oh I should of also mentioned that the sm_sidewinder_enabled convar has bits to enable/disable each of the weapons:

Code:
//enum SidewinderEnableFlags (<<= 1)
//{
#define SidewinderDisabled    0  // Completly disable sidewinder
#define SidewinderSentry      1  // Enable sidewinder sentry rockets
#define SidewinderRocket      2  // Enable sidewinder soldier rockets
#define SidewinderArrow        4  // Enable sidewinder huntsman arrows
#define SidewinderFlare        8  // Enable sidewinder pyro flares
#define SidewinderPipe        16  // Enable sidewinder demoman pipe genades
#define SidewinderSyringe    32  // Enable sidewinder medic syringes
//};

set sm_sidewinder_enabled = 63, the crit_tracker variable to 0 and the homingchance variable to 100 to make every shot track (or a smaller number for a percentage of shots).

Perhaps, but that's a whole different plugin (or extension)

And, I assume it's not as easy as just doing a debugging of the soldier's actions, and recreating it through an entity?

As for the sm_sidewinder_enabled 63, it works like a charm.

Re: [EXTENSION] Sidewinder
 
I think the whole homing projectiles is great. Thanks for creating the original sidewinder plugin and the extension to the sidewinder plugin. I got it up and running with no issues and haven't had an issue yet.

I think a next step to this plugin may be to add in limited/variable turning radii, so the projectiles don't make near perfect turns, plus it'll look a little more appealing. I could see tweaking the turning radii being used to help balance play (also spam) along with the probability variables that something tracks. I'm looking into this myself, but I'm not much of a coder.
