I was wondering if it is possible to maybe make the recon droid a self piloted weapon. I saw something to that effect in a document, but it was talking about only mines and detpacks. Could it be made so that when you release it, you know, use it, instead of staying there and driving it around yourself, could you make it so that it will go around on it's own? If so, I intend to do that with the republic's recon.

Try adding this line to the remote droid ODF under [Properties].

That should do it, you can do it with vehicles too, including the turret.

So then I could make the droid fighter a self piloted craft? Cool! Thanks!
Another question, I found a document that had some new weapon values on it. One of them was a disable time for a weapon. It's supposed to disable a vehicle that it hits, but it didn't work for me. Any ideas?

hmm dunno. I guess thats used for the Fusion Cutter. I'll check it out

Didn't work. I still wind up piloting the recon. Is there something else in the odf that makes you control it? Maybe if I deleted that it would work, but I don't know what to look for.

wait, what is the recon droids gametypeclass or whatever?

did you put PilotType = "Self" in blah_weap_inf_remotedroid or blah_weap_inf_remotedroid_ord?

rep_weap_inf_remotedroid
Right under [Properties].

PilotType = "Remote" is in the ordinance file so you'll have to put it in rep_weap_inf_remotedroid_ord

I tried it, but it didn't work very well. It just stayed where it was and didn't move, and if I switched my secondary weapon and tried releasing another one, it made me take control of the first, plus it constantly crashed the game even though that was the only thing I had touched. So I'm not going to use it.
