Looking at example odfs, research, etc, couldn't find out myself, so sorry:
How do I add Energy Bar (yellow sprint type) drain to weapon?
(My WIP racemap's speeder's have auto repair...but I have to give it some drawbacks.)
vvvvThanks, -_-.vvv

Thats not working...might be class restrictions on it. I'm trying it for a weapon on a hover. But just in case its an ODF error, here are the weapon and hover odfs.

I dont think that can be done the way you are doing it. And honestly, I dont see why you have to give it a drawback, it's not like people are going to ride it around and others will scream "REPAIR NOOB!!!"

I dunno, seems like if you get good at anything in the game people will call you a noob for it.

Uh...its not inter-player balance, its more of a design thing. Why make a speeder that can constantly repair itself with a weapon instead of just add health?
I still want racers to have to limit damage, and thusly award good maneuvering skill. Repairs have to cost speed._________________________________________

Your trying to have a
unit use do this, right? Or you trying to have a vehicle weapon that heals its self/ drains stamina.
Drain stamina values are only reconized by "cannon" types (least to my knoledge). You could try useing the below as the ordinance for any normal weapon (like a rifle or pistol) and then add the "EnergyDrain = 150.0" line to the weapon.
Code: Select all
[OrdnanceClass]
ClassLabel = "emitterordnance"
[Properties]
Radius = "0.75" // sphere used for finding the targets
ConeLength = "1" // cone not used for finding the targets
ConeAngle = "10"
FirstRadius = "0.0"
MaxTargets = "1" // Max number of targets to hit. Chaining is off so the damage will be split between the number of targets
NoChaining = "1" // No chaining - all bolts coming from the attacker
ApplyOnOwnerIfOnOthers = "1"
AffectEnemies = "0"
VehicleScale = "1.0"
ShieldScale = "1.0"
PersonScale = "0.0"
AnimalScale = "0.0"
DroidScale = "0.0"
BuildingScale = "0.0"
BuffHealthTimer = "1"
BuffHealthRate = "100"
Dont know if you can use emitterordnance on vehicles but you could try(I doubt it)

What about making the weapon itself overheat? It doesn't slow you down but it does mean that the speeders can't repair nonstop and thus must limit damage to a similar degree.
Or you could have a certain number of repair "rounds" in the clip, so you must reload after you have repaired you're vehicle.
I haven't really tooled with this kind of thing (Closest I've made was a force heal).
