Yuri's Revenge Building Upgrade Error

Jynx · Medic **Joined**: 25 Apr 2013

Tiberian Sun let's you add upgrades to buildings and so I wanted to do that in Yuri. To test it I tried making an upgrade for the Prism Tower where it would use NeutronRifle, just to see if it worked. The upgrade builds over the Prism Tower but get's an Error as soon as it attacks. Couldn't find a topic on it but if I missed it sorry. If someone knows how to get this to work and don't mind helping me out. Here's the code I was using for the Upgrade.

Most likely you have to use ordinary weapon, not the chrono legionnaire weapon as it has special logic into it which likely not tolerate being only granted by an upgrade thus the IE.
Keep in mind, this upgrade probably also breaks the tower link-up from its secondary as I believe it replaces the weapons as defined.

iirc, temporal weapons need a source for the weapon, that is, something tangible must be firing it.
The fact that the weapon is coming through an upgrade might be screwing with that.

(Internally, it might be that the chrono controller is on the upgrade, but the tower is the one the weapon is assigned to, or something...)
