Interestingly, your signature is actually longer than your post. Does that make your post pointless, or would it be pointless regardless of the length of your signature?

Hey Severe. Sorry they're harshing your buzz. =)

You'll want the plane script (or another script triggered by the plane script) to rez the av seeker object, which should be physical for realistic movement. Once rezzed, the av seeker object should use a repeating sensor to learn the location of the nearest unlucky avatar, which is hopefully not you.

Then, once it has gotten a fix on its target, the missile might use a combination of facing the target and moving to the target.

Once it gets to the unlucky av within a certain distance or even collides mightily with the poor sap , have that missile unleash hot fiery napalm death, a resounding BOOM, and a good shove just for spite.

With love from Jesus. =)

Give a man a fish, teach a man to fish, no? =D Though I admit I sometimes go nuts when I'm in the "learning to fish" state.

It would be pointless regardless of the length of my signature, definitely.

Id love to do that same thing, but i am bad at scripting. How would that look actually in a script?
Also, it would be cool to have actual "dumb" bombs that just fall. That'd be just rez, make physical, and explode on intersect right?
