HE rocket mechanics for SADAR WP rockets

Post by Actuallythatguyyeah » 04 Jul 2017, 23:13

Summary: Give white phosphorus SADAR rockets the same collision mechanics as in HE rockets i.e. they impact where the player has aimed rather than fly on until they hit something.

Benefits: Right now Willy petes act like AT rockets - they fly until they impact something hard, sometimes even missing the intended target. Being already pretty useless besides as a deterrent against crushers, giving them HE rocket mechanics will make them easier to score a good hit and more useful in situations where low tiers crowd in a tight spot.

Details: As above.

Implementation: Copy paste the projectile code from HE's.

I see no reason why HE Rockets don't work like the others.

honestly, they already behave like HE rockets, what with their AoE splash and all that...

Might as well make them more useful by having them be able to hit any tile you aim on, rather than having to aim directly at a mob.

+1, not sure why they don't act like that anyway
