Max_Caine Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I expect that the ability to shoot down missiles in air combat was removed for the best of reasons, but if the facility to shoot down missiles still exists and is simply unused code, as opposed to completely removed, could the functionality be restored? I'm working on a mod that increases the variety of alien vessels and adding point defence weaponry to the aliens' arsenal (beyond the original use for it) would help improve that variety.

Belmakor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yes this is easy to mod back in, just go into aircraftweapons.xml and you will see there is a column for "Target Missiles". Selecting yes will allow that weapon to target missiles. Bear in mind that any amount of damage will destroy the missile so make sure it either has a limited arc, range, speed, and ammo quantity otherwise it will be too OP.

Max_Caine Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Ah.. Well... Y'see... Tried that. Didn't seem to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Odd, I modded the game in V19 and it worked fine. Unless its been taken out of the experimental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yes, I knew it previously worked as part of the landships' arsenal. Try adding av.missileshield to any UFO. It just doesn't seem to work any more. (Hence my plaintive cry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
