Does this apply to the Death From Above, too? It really bugs me that you can't attack on enemies directly above you :L

I don't think so, but you may be able to look through the submodes and apply those particular settings to them.

I have absolutely no idea how to do that, so I'll try it out, and if it doesn't, I'll just hope someone else with legitimate skills has the same question, and does it their self :p
 
That would be great for the DFA to have these settings and be able to fly across the map like Neo in Matrix ( It's the same animation .. another reference to the movie I guess)
But the character can't target the ground when it's too far, is there a way to do it ?
 
<submode>
<name>death from above</name>
<Aspect>all</Aspect>
<lookat_offset>
<X>0.0</X>
<Y>1.65</Y>
<Z>0.0</Z>
</lookat_offset>
<min_elevation>35</min_elevation>
<max_elevation>80</max_elevation>
<base_fov>50</base_fov>


Wouldnt that be where you would do it? I am no expert, and I am currently trying it out, but I would suspect that setting min_elevation to 0 would do it.
 
Well, I have messed around with it a little bit.. still far from perfect, and you cannot aim upwards, or even flat, due to the distance from the player to the ground/whatever, but I do believe the range of where you can aim is greatly increased with this bit of code:

Code: 
            <submode>
                <name>death from above</name>

                    </lookat_offset>

                <max_elevation>85</max_elevation>

And in a little bit of testing, if you DFA into a building, it seems to mess you up.
