MAKING WEAPONS

This article is in need of attention. Please improve it in any way you see fit.

Weapon descriptons are stored in the weapon_list.xml in the data directory.

Weapons are classed as

  • Beam
  • Bolt
  • Ball
  • Missile

Missile

Example 1: Beam Weapon

<Beam name="LR_PminusBeamMKIV" mountsize="capship-massive">
  <Energy rate="1500" stability="8" refire="2" /> 
  <Damage rate="15000" longrange=".8" /> 
  <Distance speed="300000" radialspeed="60" radius="60" length="8" pulsespeed="36" range="150000" /> 
  <Appearance file="weapons/heavylaserbeam.png" soundwav="beam1.wav" r=".6" g=".1" b=".8" a=".6" /> 
</Beam>

Example 2: Spinning Weapon

you can make it spin as well by making it an accessory of the missle:

  • you make it a subunit (turret) at the center (i.e call it torpedo_accessory)
  • set the max_yaw, max_pitch, and max_roll to whatever you want it to spin at
  • make an invisible (or torpedo casing) main body

voilla--you have a photon torpedo
