Hello! I was wondering if there is a variable that sets a missile's launch angle? I noticed missiles will always fire forward and horizontal. I want to make vertically launched missiles (or even at a 45 degree angle) but when try to restrict the weapon firing angles in WeaponDescriptor.ndf the missile just never fires, trying to reach that horizontal launch. Is this a hard coded behavior? Or perhaps something based on the bones in the 3d models? Or can this be changed?

Okay thank you! Is the TOR just a special case with it's vertical launch or is it just an animated cosmetic thing?

I tried changing this for other units and their turret would start upward, but then move down to fire. Then when I set pitch limits it got stuck in "aligning" while trying to aim down. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong though?

i`m not using base pitch, just rotating missile hardpoints bones
What do you mean by this?
