Well, maybe if you added the lines from other melee weapons from range etc. and maybe added damage :P

I'm not sure about that, becuase in order for it to heal it has to do negative damage.
Wait, there are damage multipliers for different health types (vehicle, building, object, soldier) and they are why your fusion cutter doesn't heal people. concusion grenades hurt vehicles more than soldiers etc. I just looked, and for the fusion cutter it's a little different, a health multiplier, still
If the weapon was set up like this :
PersonHealth = -1
BuildingHealth = 20
BuildingBuild = 20
BuildingRebuild =15
DroidHealth = -1
I might try that later.

-1?

don't the units have a couple of hundred in health? :wink: lol'

but I see your point - I've never thought of this :)

And what if a line called "SoldierHealth = [The amount of damages you wish]" was added ?

Maybe I mistook ? Then we should replace
"SoldierHealth = [The amount of damages you wish]"
by
"PersonHealth = [The amount of damages you wish]"

I made a new thing called inf_weap_fusioncutter_ord and made the command lineunder that that has "Damage = "100"MaxDamage= "100"JumpDeduction= "0"DamageThreshold= "0"" and i added the command line under the fusion cutter "OrdnanceName= "all_weap_inf_fusioncutter_ord""
I'm going to try to add "personhealth = damage" would i put -20 or just 20

Just experiment with different values and see what happens. I've been going through weapon ODFs to find out what everything does, but I haven't got onto the more obscure stuff like this. Let us know if negative values work, as it could be a useful trick.

The fusion cutter is in a different class (repair) from all the other weapons, so that might change the way it works and what values it can accept. As the class definitions don't seem to have been published, it can take a bit of trial and error to find out what each class can and can't have. It might be that the Health values in the weapon ODF can't co-exist with the Damage values in the ordnance ODF or that one overrides the other. Or it might not. You'll just have to try it.

i changed it to melee at first but it killed all vehicles. i'm not really working on it alot though, i'm trying to get my zeroeditor to work. a certian level doesn't munge and it stays the same.

okay. i changed it to -100 it kills people but if your alone it turns into more of a sucide machine. it heals vehicles though.btw if anyone knows anyway to help with my munging problem you can post it on this topic because i'm not going to make another one.
