I had this great idear for a new weapon but for it to work exactaly how i want it to I have to change its speed so then it fires slower, i would also like to know how to make weapons fire faster, thanks in advance.

Thanks mate!!!

Um.. is that in the common sides folder, or rep sides folder? Common didnt work for me just then so ill try a manual clean!

on common/odf folder i made them on my rep folder

Ah....? say again? I dont understand.

Dang, this didnt work for me, or maybe it just needs to be explained more in depth.

you need to go to the common sides folder in the sides assets and copy it into you data_ABC's side folder.........

or copy from assets/sides
to data_ABC/sides

if you have custom sides (which you will need) just add that line to the weapon's _ord file under properties.

also, check out this link for how to do the changes in your lua whitout fiddling in the common folder...

i think you should add this code to your lua:
SetClassProperty("INSERTWEAPONNAME", "Velocity", "500[or whatever you want it to be]")
correct me if its wrong

im pretty sure that you cant edit weapon odf values via lua, just what weapon a unit caries

if you looked at the post i linked to above and read Mav's and [RDH]Zerted's post you would notice that it is totally possible:
[RDH]Zerted: I have never tired changing the properties of weapons (rate of fire, recharge time, etc...), but I do know that changing which weapons a unit hold will cause crashes for other players in MP. Also, changing units' ammo counts causes the crashes too.

Mav+Other person convo:
Other=I have a query about the "SetProperty" line; can it be used with weapons, as well as units?
Mav=Yes, but it's still SetClassProperty and not SetProperty. There aren't instances of weapons, just weapon classes.

I don't know if I merely misspoke in that topic or if I was just completely wrong (or perhaps let's be optimistic and suppose I was talking about something else?), but weapons can't be modified in-script. If you want to change a weapon, you have to change whatever weapon a unit is carrying to something else entirely.

What?!?! The JEDI ADMIN made a mistake?!?! impossible! i'm sure you were just talking about something else

To the original question, what DEVISS showed you changes the actual speed at which the ordinance itself will fly. However, I have a feeling you're actually talking about rate of fire, in which case you need to edit the ShotDelay parameter in the weapon odf. It's literally the amount of time a weapon will wait between firing shots, or salvoes.

Yes your correct!!! Thanks Mercury. Im going to see if it works for me now!!!!
