Hi all,

I want to change the message that appears when you cannot use a weapon, because there is no "arc of fire", but my command of English language is not yet on the level to come up with something at least moderately acceptable.

Any ideas?

"Trajectory blocked"?

Or just "No trajectory" - a bit less intuitive, but more in line with "No line of fire". I don't know really.

OK, for arcing weapons it is now:

  STR_NO_TRAJECTORY: "No trajectory!"

And for weapons, which may require line of sight (e.g. psi-amp or mind probe), I have also done a separate message:

  STR_LINE_OF_SIGHT_REQUIRED: "Line of sight required!"
