Weapons Overview (basic++)

[Androgeos]

In theory, you could make a dumbfire missile that expires after a certain lifetime and generate a second, tracking missile when it expires.

There you go, try this, it looks like the missile is launched, and after a sec it starts the propulsion and autotarget to the nearest enemy.

So no manual target selecting? aww... anyway thanks for the code Digdug, I tend to stay away from fragments as weird stuff happens when I use them.
