Laser Weapon Destroys Self When moving

[Claakin]

Short Description of the issue:

firing the laser weapon while moving causes the weapon to destroy its barrel, or the entire weapon.

...

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Create laser weapon, attach barrel, fly forward, fire weapons.

...

Environment

• Starship EVO version: 20w37a
• Graphics Card: 1080 Extreme Gaming

Additional information:

I have uploaded photos and blueprint files.

It appears that the barrel does not change the poition at which the laser is generated, and the laser is still able to make contact with it's own gun/barrel. I say this because it only destroys the barrel on larger weapons, but when firing multiple weapons maybe lag causes the round to fire later, making it appear behind the weapon. Maybe the speed of the round is not fast enough, maybe speeding up the shot would allow it to pass the barrel. ultimately, if it were generated a couple units in front of the barrel, somethig small and unnoticeable it may prevent this.

Another option is to disable friendly fire for the gun and barrel. Draco.zip

are those turrets or fixed weapons? If they are fixed try to max out the barrels and also u have gatlings there meaning more spread. Stuff like this happened to me in smaller builds when i try to put guns on spots where the ship is almost in a line of fire

[Claakin]

I'll try it without the gatling but th point is rate of fire, so I'm going to be losing a lot of potential damage. I mean we're already working with the unreal physics of bullets following a cursor from a stationary weapon which is fine, It helps, but the gun should not destroy its self no matter what you use. Personally I have trouble finding a good position t place weaponry where they won't destroy some part of the ship, but that's just bad design on my part.

Yes the laser is supposed to be spawned at the muzzle position of the barrel, with a small offset, with the speed of the ship added. But there might be still something bugged as you pointed out. I keep you posted

[Claakin]

Thank you, no problem! Keep up the good work! Can't wait for an update, I know you're working hard!

I'm having this happen pretty consistently at speeds over 250m/s. I moved the lasers away from the ship and they then hit themselves and destroy either the barrels or laser module. Gatling barrels seem the worst.

@Rifleman75 @Claakin Could you send me your blueprint? Thanks
