I'm trying to remove the stick property from all thermaldetonators.


I've tried (unsuccessfully):
Making a req for the common thermal ord, and ReadDataFile it in through lua after sides

Using setproperty and classproperty for rep_weap_inf_thermaldetonator, as follows: It can't find that class, in both cases.

I'm thinking about munging a "baa_weap_inf_thermaldetonator" class having it's own req and then use setproperty to change all the units weapons to this instead. Problem is that I don't know which property to set, because the odf has "WeaponName" for all 4 weapon names. It may be Weapon3Name, but that is not in the odf so it may not work.

Or I could make a dc:rep side and have only the odfs and read in all the classes again, hopefully the geometry and such would still be there.


The key point is that I don't want to spend hundreds of megabytes remunging all the sides to change 1 odf. Can anyone tell me which path to take?

You can make sides like that, if you want. Don't give them the same .odf/.req name. You can load in everything you need model- and texture-wise by loading the stock side before it in the .lua.

What would happen if they did have the same odf name?


But I just thought of a ridiculously easier solution, changing the health type to animal: Thanks anyways, it may be useful to know for other applications.
