post the code of the unit and the weapon, then i'll bee much easyer to find the problem, that is most likely to be a code-error or typo Wink

the weapon is already ingame ;
laserfire2=laser turret's weapon
laserfire=nod obelisk weapon
and if i set elite weapon to laserfire2, it works but doesn't work with laserfire (normal)

its most likely because of the obelisk laser settings create a copy of the original obelisk laser and give it to your upgradet unit, then remove "isbiglaser=yes" and stuff that relates to the charging obelisk, that causes sometimes errors if i'm right, experienced that a few times myself.

the error occures because the oblesk has to charge to fire. Just copy the oblesk weapon without the "charge" tag on it

Or make a nice chargeup anim for your unit when deployed. Then you have some nice eye candy and you can use the Obelisk Laser.
The length of the anim (number of frames) is up to you. The game automatically takes all of them. So the longer the anim, the longer the chargeup time.

mm,dunno, the weird thing is , when undeployed, it fires LaserFire without a problem, but when deployed it fires an IE xD

here's the code from the deployed unit (if i change Elite=LaserFire2 , it works,but that's of no use to me):

You have already been told the solution. Make a charge up anim (i forget the art code just look at the obelisk art data to find it) or make a copy of laserfire and remove the charge tag from it.

did the last one, doesn't work
but i'll try making a copy of laserfire2, and change damage etc, cuz maybe it's the WH or something

that's because undeployed it isn't a building anymore and only buildings can have the chargeup tag. On vehicles this tag is simply ignored.
