I've taken the arc caster and messed with it a bit. I want its damage to be between 0.01 and 1.0 (basically just a weapon triggering some Lua code). However when I fully charged it up, it deals out 1.5 in damage. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the ChargeStrength-like properties, since I don't know what those do yet (any recommended ODF property explanation readings?).

The weapon also isn't targeting friendlies, but that isn't a main issue at the moment.

I would change MaxChargeStrengthHeavy = "0.5" to MaxChargeStrengthHeavy = "0.0". That's no more than an educated guess, though. I'd honestly recommend simply modifying force push for your basic trigger weapons, since it is a very simple emitter (and emitters seem to be the simplest weapons). I'd also make sure your TargetMine isn't just sitting there with no equality.

I fixed TargetMine, but that didn't change anything. I'll have to change the Charge properties tomorrow. I'm using the amount of damage as a way for the player to input a value, so I can't use force push. 1 to 100 are the numbers I want, but can't do that much damage to a unit (am just multiplying the tiny damage by 100 for the script). This is for that RTS map I've randomly mentioned.

Edit: I'm dropping the charge damage in order to use lock-on missiles. Its a pain to try to hit units running around the map while your unit is off flying far away.

I don't know that I've ever been able to "target" a friendly. When you asked before I thought you were referring to dealing damage (why, I do not know).

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2009 8:11 pm**

So that feature doesn't work in swbf2? The RTS map may turn out to be a pain to play if its too hard to hit your own units.
