firing weapons from a remote drone?

639 LOSTechOrdnance  6.3 years ago

I have been messing around with a heavy block full of fuel and vtol engines with a seperate "aircraft" aka drone with the vtol nozzles. I had some guns on it and have been messing around doing laps around the main island and stuff but i wanted to try and fully weaponise the drone.

My problem is that though the guns fire, the rocket pods i installed are not responding. Obviously i have tried cycling weapons and when i bring up the little group display it says i have no air to ground weapons installed, yet the 6 pods under the wings of my drone right now suggest otherwise. Is there a way i can make my drones weapons active?

heres a picture of what im trying to say lol. You can see the guns working (theres 2 firing backwards as well just cause) but the rockets dont register

    oh man i didnt know that worked.. I simply set one of the decorative cockpits to primary and it works, without the vtols even attached to the airframe itself... and now i have a "plane" that is doing over 2100mph at sea level! lol and the rockets too, thanks for that I always figured that the plane didnt work without the cockpit attached to the engines!

    I do have another question though, the part the stays on the ground with all the engines.. can i get it to be the primary fuel source as its trying to feed off the plane itself which doesnt have much fuel on board

    Try connecting another cockpit to the drone. Guns fire when they are disconnected but nothing else does
