One thing I don't like that's probably a side effect of the original game design, is that objects don't break off or respawn when they explode now that we have that feature. It's kinda silly to watch a missile/bomb hit, explode, then bounce off and sit idle. Hehe.
@@daviddemmers130 The way stormworks decides how to simulate a vehicle once it is spawned in and no longer needs to check the layout because the game knows it can't break off is what allows the game to run decently with alot of ships. Also with the way blocks are painted it would expose alot of unpainted bits. All in all this would be terrible for game performance.
@@dylannormandoin8350 o no I totally agree with you, but if even you know that this is the case the devs know even more reasons why a combat system will always be lacking because they can't add features like breakable ships. That is exactly why I said adding the weapons was bad game design.
@@daviddemmers130 the game isn't terrible. Its your PC for gods sake. I'm tired of hearing people complain that their PC can't handle a game just cause its like 1GB big.
@@sirnurtle657 im not talking about performance have you read any of the previous comments? The performance is decent, game design is a lot more than just a games performance.
To make missiles more precise without being too complex you can replace the function (x) by function (x,y,z) then you add two property numbers which are going to be the x and y "ratios". Then you connect the functions the next way: x=target angle (x or y angle). y=x/y "ratio". z=target distance (from the radar). Then you enter the following function: x*(z/y). This will make the missile's sensitivity decrease the closer it is to the target, reducing it's chances to miss by a lot. You can increase the sensitivity by reducing the ratios and viceversa. Edit: I use 20 as my ratio for both axis. Also, if you need to invert the output just multiply the ratio by -1 (on my case it would be -20)
@@maxc7307 I'm m referring to the "ratios", the ones that you get from the property numbers. You have to connect those property numbers to the y node of the function "block".
Stormworks devs if you see this please make the military more killable. I hit anything but a jet and they just keep going, but they hit me and BOOM whatever vehicle I use stops functioning most of the time. Either fix it and make people happy or at least lower the amount of military that spawns in (would also help with frames). Also a bit more variety in their vehicles, maybe infrantry soldiers would be cool (but I don’t think that’s needed).
I hope they will be able to add how many enemy vehicles can spawn in a certain radius. The only problem I have had during this update is the lag I get when nearing AI. I think it may be the game, IDK. Hopefully they will patch it up
The enemy vehicles have all of their logic in one point and they dont have an interior. You need to capture them and search for weak points so you know where to shoot
Great video! Had no idea that hardpoints were batteries, that's fantastic. I've been working on a laser guided missile and this let me get it much smaller.
just as a question, could you make a part 2 of the CIWS system to explain more in detail and also show how to make the cannon lead the target to never miss??
i don't think "never miss" is going to be possible; but you can probably have a deflection formula based on relative speed and distance - though that might be a bit too complex
@@julbloxgaming4376 well too many things to know first - do we know anything about projectile speed? effect of wind? bullet drop rate? that's a lot of parameters at play even for a stationary target
Can anyone elaborate on the most recent patch? Bypassing the functions and feeding the radar output directly into the respective control surfaces seems to get the missile closer to target now. But we are failing to get a single hit.
To all the lads that complained Stormworks doesnt rly support combat with its physics= From The Depths is the combat focused game that will fit your need. You can program your own missiles, ship, etc. Or if you are new or lazy, just use AI mainframe that will do 95% of the things for you! Combat systems are easy to edit and manage with the dev improving game steadily! The downside is no civilian features (which is good cuz otherwise you'll be doing lots of warcrimes) I tried Stormworks to learn more bout complexity in ship design and have a rest from kabooming stuff...
I play a lot of building games, and From the Depths is by far the best one. not only is it designed from the ground up with REAL modular weapons. But after you build something, theres actually something to DO with your creation. including several balanced conquest style campaigns, and many other modes. Also several people can all work on the same craft, at the same time. A lot of stuff is much simpler to setup too, like missiles for instance. but if u want, u can still lua script the missiles to do what ever u want them to. I love building, but i would argue about 30% of my 300 hours in stormworks is going into a MC, tweaking 1 number in the lua script, then spawning the vehicle only to find out i need to change it again..... very time consuming and painful on the fingers. however my 600 hours in From the Depths still feels like a better investment. and a lot of those hours are actual large, satisfying ocean battles, with blocks that get blown off when u damage them. Not afk sailing to the next random npc ship with 2 survivors that will pay me a measly 2k each to rescue them. hardly enough to pay off the fuel used to get there....
@@MrZero00000000000000 plus FTD have no dlc jajajaja! I rly love nick and the devs xD once pay forever enjoyment loool. Also the decoration and mimics system is 10 parallel universe ahead of other games, made u able to make water dispensers and other cool stuff to decor ur ship and bases. The only interesting thing bout stormworks is the microcontroller system which kinda remind me of arduino lol. I really hope Stormworks dev use SketchUp design software because it have better GUI and helpful feature than Stormworks ship designer. Its weird when a game UI is harder and more stressful to use than a real design oriented software...
This is a great entry tutorial for those just getting into SW microcontrollers, but if you're the type who wants to get into LUA coding and wants to learn how to make more than just simple weapons, come join us over in the Stormworks Engineering Group discord server. APN guided radar homing missiles that hit fast and maneuvering targets, radar aimed and ballistics elevated guns that compensate for bullet drop, advanced radar systems that track multiple air and sea targets simultaneously and auto-slew turrets, you name it, we're working on it.
Where is the steam download link? Because mine dosen't seem to work? I redid it twice and it dosen't work? so i wonder if i can just download it instead
Damn it would be nice if they mentioned hardpoints acting as batteries, I had to break my vows and 'cheat' a battery into a single stack to get mine to fly straight.
I copied all you did there step by step, but my missile launches into random directions even after just spawning it in without changing anything. While your missile is steady in the beginning until it detects the target, mine basically launches into a random direction making it impossible for me to adjust any numbers in the first place ... after almost 6 hours of adjusting, starting over again and failing to hit my target once i am very sad that i am not able to add this to my helicopter =(
I do that by adding a laser beacon on my creations and then adding laser point detectors on my weapons. They're both configured on a set wavelength, so I make that, for example, my radar aimed weapons only fire when they don't detect a laser at said wavelength. The problem with this is that players don't have a laser beacon xD, but you can solve that by preventing your guns from shooting if the radar's target is at less than 20m (i.e.)
On my auto defense turrets I have laser point sensors that look for a decision frequency emitted by laser beacons on my other vehicles. If a turret aims at a vehicle but gets the laser signal, it won't fire.
Ok so yesterday I had this working but now my missiles fly straight up shortly after being fired... if I put that multiplier on 1 or 2 it seems to be better but still misses almost everything. Did something change in the meantime?
@@JokerRetry i wanted to do a radar turret like the one he made in the last video, but i can't get them to work... How do i jam them together when the turret reset his position after it has finished the ammo?
Just an idea but it would be really cool if you did a war sieres between you and your friends called stormwars or something like that using the search and destroy DLC. I would do it but non of my friends play the game. Also keep up the good videos.
Exact same thing. You replace the radar with a laser point sensor. Connect the composite to a microcontroller as the one he used in the video, with the function blocks to change the sensitivity. Radars and laser point detectors work in a similar way, so
It's a bit sad that it allows you to make your radar obstructed and still working. And engine on the front with invisible connection with objects directly behind the nozzle.
Loved the video @MrNJersey! Is there a way of Building a Heat Seeking Missile like the AIM-9 Sidewinder or an Anti-Tank Missile like the AGM-12 Bullpup?
It doesn't looks like explosive deal much damage Using a EMP i guess is more effective most of the time since the emp doesn't even need to hit to trigger
I don't think you need that much damage to take out a vehicle in Stormworks, especially if it's a plane or helicopter. Take real life for example, a Sidewinder can do the same job as an R-40 missile, of course if we not talking about big or distant targets. The only difference here is the range and speed I guess.
Instead of an EMP, you can program the missiles to detonate once the target is close enough, eg 2-3 meters away. You can also always forgo warheads for a rocket pod that fires once in range.
whats with the exploity double booster? Looks really weird. Also you said "I'll show you in a minute how to make a much better system" but you never did
My missiles have hit the target once and never again 😅 Edit: nvm I connected the hard point composite instead of radar to the controller on accident Success
@@MrNJersey Does that mean the radar was not working as intended and you used a glitch to build these before or is it just broken now until they send out another hotfix ?
