weapon animation range

Exley · Posted: Mon May 09, 2011 12:35 am Post subject: weapon animation range

hello
I haven't been modding TS about 6 years so I forgot some things
hoping someone here might help me

anyways... question is about Ghost Stalker/MMK2 Railgun and the Disruptor tank weapons

how can user extend their animation/weapon range ?

I know I always tried meddling with unit sight but that didn't help much
and seemed at the time especialy for Disruptor to have limited fire range

anyone care to explain if this is possible ?
and where to set this up ?

If you mean how far the weapon will physically go, then modify Range= in the weapon values "SonicZap" and I think "LtRail"

thanks it worked Smile

although it seems to screw Disruptors one a bit, if set over 9 cells they refuse to shoot #Tongue

Could be to do with how the game generates the disruptors beam animation.

yep, the disruptor/sonic beam has a hardcoded max range of 8.5 or 8.75 and there's currently no way to get around this.

I assume it was done, so fast target units can't extend the fired beam too much when they drive quickly away from it. Else the long duration of the beam could cause it to become 1-2 screens long, destroying everything in between.
