Any one ever get this to work? Using, repeating= "3", doesn't do anything.

If that's impossible, how can i control the spread of a fragmenting missile so it's in a nice 45 degree arc?

the clueless noobie needs help. XD

As far as I know repeating doesn't work with launchers .
Can you please explain the 45 degree arc better
when life throws you a curve ball catch it and throw it back.

For repeating 3, you will need to go the Weapons Extended way and use an event in <OnFire> that simulates more missiles, and also takes up the right amount of missiles.
You might want to contact digdug on IRC about that.

For the 45 degree arc, it depends where you want it. The problem is that if you define the arc to be from 45 degrees to 90 degrees it will always shoot fragments in that direction, and I don't know currently of a way to have them target a ship without making them look like individual missiles.
This might also require script if you want the arc to always hit an enemy ship and in a 45 degree arc o.O
This is also a great page on weapons, I might have missed something (although, curiously enough, the fragment section is missing, n00000): http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence ... on_devices

So yeah, it's a lot more complicated than it sounds..... o.O

Also, after spending ~15 minutes on this I realized that this is a necro'd thread :P
