super weapon help :/

hello
I've got some problems with 2nd cloned multi missile, and wonder if
anyone is willing to take a peek on what could be defective...

I already have 1 cloned multi missile (Nod side), and cloned nuke silo shoots it just ok
but 2nd one doesn't even "give" icon/weapon on sidebar to use

also to clear up things, yes I have the dummy unit using clustered weapon
and warheads are not here given because they are already used
by other weapon so they work just fine

My idea of this was to have invisible instant hit (very fast) projectile
launch from building silo and split into clusters...

the 2nd cloned nuke silo building has this

Code:

NukeSilo=yes
HasStupidGuardMode=false
SuperWeapon=MeteorSpecial

the special weap added:

Code:

[MeteorSpecial]
Name=test-met
IsPowered=true
RechargeVoice=01-i360
ChargingVoice=
ImpatientVoice=
SuspendVoice=
RechargeTime=1
Type=MetStage1
SidebarImage=METRICON
Action=DontUse3
WeaponType=MeteorLauncher

Now since this is cluster weapon, it has 2 entries for both weapons and projectiles
where single is 1st and cluster is 2nd

Weapons:

Code:

; Meteor missile launcher (single)
[MeteorLauncher]
Damage=1
ROF=1
Range=30
Projectile=MetStage1
Burst=1
Speed=100
Warhead=WeakShit
Report=ICBM1

; Meteor Missile Cluster weapon
; a dummy unit MUST be created with this same weapon or game crashes !!!
[MeteorFalls]
Damage=1
ROF=80
Range=8
Projectile=MetStage2
Burst=1
Speed=100
Warhead=METEORI
Report=ICBM1

Projectiles:

Code:

; Meteor Stage 1 (instant hit projectile)
[MetStage1]
Inviso=yes
Image=none
Arm=1
High=yes
VeryHigh=yes
Cluster=7 ; number of splits (cluster)
Proximity=yes
Ranged=no
AA=no
ROT=4
IgnoresFirestorm=yes
Airburst=yes ; does it split? yes it does
AirburstWeapon=MeteorFalls ; in what weapon it splits

; Meteor Stage 2 (instant hit projectile)
[MetStage2]
Inviso=yes
Image=none
Arm=1
High=yes
VeryHigh=yes
Cluster=1 ; attached warhead count (to single dropped projectile), in this case meteors
Proximity=yes
Ranged=yes
AA=no
ROT=4
IgnoresFirestorm=yes

appreciate any info/advice

Type=MetStage1 ??? is that some ETS logic? else i have no idea how that is supposed to work...

well doesn't type= determine what projectile to launch ?

or is TS hardcoded always just to use MultiMissile as "type" ?

Even though TS has a projectile called MultiMissile thats not what that means. Each SW has its own set of functions. This "Type=" tells the game simply what "type" of SW it is. Something like that anyway.

Of course, since it is not possible to have new superweapons. You can only have clones which use the same weapon as the original.

Take a look in the research forum and you'll find out that many have tried it before without success. Wink

indeed, my mistake

haven't noticed your own text

The problem that the clone can't use a different WeaponType when fired lies in the Type= key. If the clone uses the same Type as the original, it will fire the weapon of the original.

sorry again Cool
