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
