Hello Resin_Smoker,

Oh yes that's true. If you build 100 launcher then you can see the simspeed dropping because of the loops.
I would also love a event based system, and an AI that is controlling all launchers instead of a single AI for every launcher.

But at the moment i am to buzy to rebuild the mod.

Maybe after i finished my own AI, i have the time to give this mod some love.

Took a look at the Lua scripts for the Launcher... It's pretty neat and reminds me of the Smart TML's i made for 4DC.

The heartbeat events (loops) are a drain on the game. Better to have a system in place where when units come into range they trigger a check by the Launcher. This is far faster and requires less Lua to do more or less the same thing. Look at the shield scripts for info on how to set this up. Projectiles don't so much impact as they come into the shields range and trigger an impact event.

This Mod modifies the following 4 buildings:

UEF Buildings:
UEF - TECH2 - LAND : Aloha - (Tactical Missile Launcher)

CYBRAN Buildings:
CYBRAN - TECH2 - LAND : TML-4 - (Tactical Missile Launcher)

AEON Buildings:
AEON - TECH2 - LAND : Serpentine - (Tactical Missile Launcher)

SERAPHIM Buildings:
SERAPHIM - TECH2 - LAND : Ythis - (Tactical Missile Launcher)

So the mod only works with Tech2 tactile missile launchers (buildings), no other units.

Update on evading tactical missile defense.

Its possible but to slow

The normal AI has only 1 thread running for calculating the targets for all nuklear missile launchers.
And those nuklear missile defenses have a huge defense ring compared to a tactical missile launcher.

The mod adds a single thread to every Tactical missile launcher, and every launcher has to check the targets.
Works good with 2-3 units, but if you build 100 or more, it takes about 50ms to calculate all targets.
(Tested with 2 Sorian AIx with 1000 units each)
This will lag the game :/

damn, great work on getting it to work though!

I used the mod and missiles won't launch for enemy ships. Sometimes they were launched and hit the water instead of target

Ah, okay. Then I'll update to this one. Thanks for the info. Great work on your mods. I won't lie, I used a few of them as refrence material when learning to mod.

There is no difference. AutoTML was the work title for the mod.
Now for release i renamed it. (There is already a mod called "Autofire Tac Missiles" from 2007)

Well, there is a slight difference in dynamic targeting
Launcher now targets the nearest target instead using buildorder.

What's the difference between this mod and the AutoTML mod? I assume this was inspired by that one. From what it sounds like this one doesn't have dynamic targeting?
