Tesla Tank charging Tesla Coils

ConMan · Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 8:56 pm Post subject: Tesla Tank charging Tesla Coils

Ok, so normally the tesla trooper has a weapon called "AssaultBolt" that allows it to "charge up" the tesla coil.

But, when I gave this weapon to the tesla tank, the tank will still charge the tesla coil, but the coil itself will not fire an overpowered shot.

Any suggestions or ideas as to how to solve this? Heres the code for reference:

Code:

;Main Entry

;Weapon

[AssaultBolt]
Damage=10
ROF=25
Range=3
Speed=100
Warhead=ElectricAssault

IsElectricBolt=true

;Warhead
[ElectricAssault]
ElectricAssault=yes
Verses=0%,0,0%,0%,0%,0%,100%,100%,100%,50%,100%
InfDeath=5

I've already read about the overpowerable and electricassault, but even just giving the tesla tank a secondary weapon shouldn't be a problem, since I haven't modified the warheads or weapon stats - just gave the weapon to the tank

back then, when i modded RA2, i tried this too and if i remember correct i came to the result that only InfantryTypes are able to charge a teslacoil.

iirc i tried that too and wasn't successful. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.
You should wait for one of the more experienced RA2 modder to answer that.

You can only charge buildings with infantry types.

If you aren't using the Prism Tower, you could experiment with having Tesla Coils charge other Tesla Coils. (but the game might have it hardcoded to use a laser for the "link" effect)

Ares will break that rull, but until then it's infantry only.

I once tried charging a tesla coil with my tesla control center. Not too successful.

Ok stepping out of shadows...

Couldnt you have your tesla tank spawn a invisible infantry who then charges the coil, and then have the tesla tank have a invisble weapon with a minimum range of3 max 4 that kills it when u drive away?

Only vehicles with Enslaves=yes can spawn an infantry, and only those can harvest ore.
