This is for anyone who wants to make a weapon use heat instead of ammo (and possibly vice versa). Using the settings and formula below, your weapon's stats will virtually stay the same (aside from now using heat, of course). All you need are the weapon's ReloadTime, RoundsPerClip, and ShotDelay to calculate the HeatRecoverRate and HeatPerShot. However, HeatThreshold will always be 0.0.

Hidden/Spoiler:

And here are the notes on the derivation for anyone who is interested:

Hidden/Spoiler:

HeatThreshold will always be 0.0.

Given a weapon's RoundsPerClip and ShotDelay, it will take RoundsPerClip*ShotDelay seconds to fire all rounds nonstop.

If TotalHeat is 1.0, then OldHeatPerShot is 1.0/RoundsPerClip.

HeatRecoveryRate is 1.0/ReloadTime per second, so it is necessary to calculate HeatPerSecond. 

It takes 1.0 seconds to shoot 1.0/ShotDelay rounds, using 1.0/(RoundsPerClip*ShotDelay) HeatPerSecond.

It is necessary that NewHeatPerSecond be HeatPerSecond+HeatRecoveryRate.

Once calculated, NewHeatPerSecond/(1.0/ShotDelay) is the desired HeatPerShot.

Putting it all together:

HeatPerShot = NewHeatPerSecond/(1.0/ShotDelay)

HeatPerShot = (HeatPerSecond+HeatRecoveryRate)/(1.0/ShotDelay)

HeatPerShot = ((1.0/(RoundsPerClip*ShotDelay))+HeatRecoveryRate)/(1.0/ShotDelay)

HeatPerShot = ((1.0/(RoundsPerClip*ShotDelay))+HeatRecoveryRate)*(ShotDelay/1.0)

HeatPerShot = ((1.0/RoundsPerClip)+(ShotDelay*HeatRecoveryRate))

Nice AQT, I think this should be stickied in the FAQ.

VERY useful! I`ve always liked weapons that use heat instead of ammo. It makes you concentrate harder on hitting your shots rather than just spray and praying until you just pop another magazine in.
