I've come back a bit to add another feature to my guided Sentinel rocket for Nightfire, and I wanted to implement limited steering abilities, so the rocket can't turn so fast. This would be a similar effect to using "ParseArg(player, "maxrotvel=50");" or something like that, except that has no effect on ppl who use the mouse.
I thought this thread (http://forums.massassi.net/html/Forum4/HTML/004105.html) had what I was looking for (SM's Missile Warrior mod), but that's not exactly the effect I was after.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this? "get new alignment, do some crazy vector math, and set the alignment to a percentage of the full one" (GBK, approx wording).
Here's the code I was using, in case it sparks any ideas (it seems to have no effect on the difficulty of the steering).
btw, I'm not currently concerned with MP compatibility, as NF is primarily a SP mod -- all MP concerns are secondary.
