Small problem

[nuker7735]

I'm making a new kind of drone that flys low to the ground, but behaves like a normal aircraft otherwise. I gave it regular jumpjet properties, with a very low cruise height of 150, and although with the jumpjet properties it flys kinda weird, the main problem is that when you destroy it, it falls down like a helicopter, but it dosent blow up when it hits the ground. It just sits there, useless. It cant fire, move, accept a command, or do much of anything. You can't even fire at it. Does anyone know whats wrong?

That happens now and then with JumpJet vehicles and infantry. Basically, the unit dies but it doesn't. I'm not really sure what causes it but I get around it by setting Crashable to no. It's not the best fix but it works.

i actually had crashable=no on accident, i tested it and it did crash-without-blowing-up. i went back and put crashable=yes and it still did that..... =(

Post your code then.

I dunno whats wrong... I tried it with Crashable=no and yes.

JumpJets do not belong on the [AircraftTypes] list.

[nuker7735]

ok i switched it to the vehicle types list and it works! but now i have another problem... it will not fire its laser unless the target is directly in front of it... and if its not it dosent rotate to fire...:grumpy:

*EDIT* I fixed it by putting OmniFire=yes on the weapon.
