hmmmm
my guess is that it'd still be too difficult to acctually implement, since you're completely re-writing the way you target things. same could be said for the ROF and weapons firing, but, firing a weapon takes less "magic" than firing at multiple targets.
how can i say this in a simple way...
or easier to interperate way...
well, with ROF, all you're dealing with is 1 choice, "can i fire this weapon yet?" if you have more than 1 weapon to fire, then you have the "which weapon should i fire?" choice, so, only really 2 at max
when dealing with multiple targets, you're dealing with a few things:
questions:
1. how do i know what units i should fire at?
2. where should i point my turret?
3. what unit should i shoot this weapon at? (you've just gotta be assuming more than 1 weapon)
Answers:
1. you're looking at, basicly, telling it to attack more than 1 unit at a time, do you assume they'll auto target?
2. 1 way to solve this could be to create more turrets for the unit, it'll probably be a lot of work, but, could be considered an extention of more weapons, anyway, the question still remains, if i wanna shoot a cannon at a tank, a mini gun at an infantry, and a rocket an the aircraft flying overhead, where should i point me turret? the tank, infantry, or aircraft?
3. do i fire 1 weapon at each target? this is hard to answer, 1 possible way to do this could actually be to give each weapon independant targetting, eg, a cannon turret, a minigun turret sitting on top of it that can turn independantly, perhaps instead of on top, at the back, so, we're looking at multiple turrets here again, and, a missile launcher that actually has omnifire.
TBH, you'd wanna consider multiple turrets, though not needed with omnifire, and having weapons with independant ROF before you'd even consider allowing weapons to fire at different targets.
the only exception to this is that you could consider burst weapons, like, Desolator deploy fire weapon kind of weapons that could self trigger if an enemy, maybe not our primary target, enters firing range, but still hard to do.
TBH, these are the kinds of questions we should be asking outselves for writting plan outlines for Charriot specifications, rather than YR hacking ¬.¬
