2 problems alike - 2 units refusing to fire
1. I made a new inf - Mummy (cloned MUMY) and gave it a weapon like Yuri's wave but it won't use it; instead it walks near the target.
2. I gave YENGINEER a RepairWrench as primary, made an animation that holds a repairing particle; made the WH, too but it behaves the same as Mummy - it walks close to the target.
Are they having the same problem, or should I provide the code?
Thanks in advance. QUICK_EDIT

2. As NewGuy said, remove Engineer=yes. Also, that is one roundabout way Psycho made there...highly doubt a particle system is needed. As long as the weapon has a negative versus it should be able to heal vehicles. _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT

no it has to be negative damage 4 star. if you look at the way the medic and repair bot are set up in ts their warheads are normal they just use a negative Damage= value _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Finally I've made a mechanic; the range is 1.5 and no problems reporting. Anyway, I do have a problem but not related to the range: it doesn't stop repairing when the unit it's healthy; plus - after EVERY shot the unit to be repaired flashes and precisely then it heals, instead of healing at FireUp=; it looks like totally messed up.
I'll try without the particle.
About the mummy, no range is good enough to make it work. Is something hard coded that I don't know? QUICK_EDIT
The unit continuing to repair problem may be because you are using a particle system therefore it doesn't check for the health like a normal weapon. Removing said particle system most likely will also fix the animations.
Most likely your finding the reason it was a deploy weapon? _________________ "Don't beg for things; Do it yourself or you'll never get anything." QUICK_EDIT
Due to you all, my units are almost there.
@4StarGeneral:
You're right.
Yuri's PsiWave is a deploy weapon, alright. But I wanted to make the mummy MumWave fire normally.
I can see no tag in PsiWave suggesting it's a deploy weapon; however, Yuri has Deployer=yes and DeployFire=yes. Are some weapons hard coded to be deployed? QUICK_EDIT
I've removed the particle, much better. The mechanic still repairs like hell. But it makes sense, since the mechanic tries to inflict damage. He repairs against his will, frustrated
Maybe in case of neg. dam / pos versus it wouldn't.
Now, about the mummy, I made it deployer, added the deploy stuff to the sequence but still doesn't show RING1 (yuri wave) as animation. QUICK_EDIT
