Weapon enhancers?

[Firekiss]

Multiple weapons can use the same projectile, as the projectile is actually independent from the weapon itself. You can use the same ammo with 2 torpedo launchers, but I think you can’t do the same vice-versa.

no but engine and all that will be independent if im not wrong

You can for example implement a couple of torp launchers firing the same ammo, let me give an example:

A refurbished launcher, super cheap but also unreliable. You could use the unused line: “dispersion_angle =” to make it fire inaccurate, the line “turn_rate =” below 90 to make it turn slower into target and “lock_on_time =” to make it acquire target slower.

A line launcher –> your standard issue

A multiple launcher by adding multiple Hp_Fire to a launcher

Those are only a few fast shots I got when reading this topic, there is surely room for more.

Yeah, that’s what I talked about. But still, what about weapon enhancers?

@Firekiss:

… I’ve seen remains (models, icons) …

I v seen lots of stuff, like radar jammer, stelth armor, “damage_per_fire”, etc,
what seems 2 be prepaired - but not in use.

But no idea about weapon enhancers
and also no idea, how it might be
possible 2 mod something like that
with the stuff i know atm.

Maybe the wizards can do that with FLHook?

Does anyone remember the Ioncross Total War server? They had e.g. speed enhancers for ships, which, when bought, would lead to a kick and exchange your engine for a faster version (at least I guess so, I didn’t code it )… I think one could do something like this, but with weapons (that are exchanged more often than ships) some more elegant solution should be used…

that was done with a 2nd engine

I doubt you can mount a 2nd engine via the equipment dealer.
so I m pretty sure, this would unmount the ‘old’ one.

And mounting a better piece of equipment is
enhances 4 sure - but is not an “enhancer”.

The only way 2 enhance weapons performance
i can think of, is with a kind of power booster
(a shield with negative constant power draw value).
If your weapons uses up lots of power.

[OPR8R]

i did not say that it was done via equipment dealer

i have heard of a way to do this with flhook.

if i remember correctly it works by flhook seeing two items (in this case the enhancer and the weapon) and then a command being typed and it deletes them both and replaced it with a new weapon with the right upgrade. i suppose it would be like /enhance<enhancer><weapon></weapon></enhancer>
