[Phobos] Getting short range secondary to work with Multi Weapon and Force weapon

freedom fighter · General **Joined**: 14 May 2009

So the idea is that this artillery unit can defend itself at close range with machine guns. I figured using ForceWeapon.InRange will allow it to do so but for some reason it doesnt do anything. This unit is also using multi weapons since it has two different artillery weapons:

Code:

[TechnoType]
Primary=CatalystMortar
Secondary=MortarGun

MultiWeapon=yes
WeaponCount=3
MultiWeapon.IsSecondary=2,3
MultiWeapon.SelectCount=3
ForceWeapon.InRange=3
ForceWeapon.InRange.Overrides=4
ForceWeapon.InRange.TechnoOnly=true

Weapon1=CatalystMortar
Weapon2=MortarGun
Weapon3=TwinGattling

It wont attack anything within 4 cells, not even retaliate. I tested Weapon3 with ForceWeapon.Defenses and while it does show an attack cursor on base defenses it just moves to it and does nothing. Ive also declared TwinGattling in a WeaponType list just in case and it still did jack. Anything im missing or did i misunderstood what ForceWeapon.InRange does?

Hey, sorry I forgot all about this.

MultiWeapon=true
MultiWeapon.IsSecondary=1
MultiWeapon.SelectCount=1
WeaponCount=2

Weapon1=Sniper <<<<<-------------for you long range weapon
EliteWeapon1=SniperE
Weapon2=Shotgun <<<<<<<-------for your shorter range weapon
EliteWeapon2=ShotgunE
ForceWeapon.InRange=1
ForceWeapon.InRange.TechnoOnly=true
ForceWeapon.InRange.ApplyRangeModifiers=yes

Make sure to give the long range weapon longer range than the other one. lemme know if it worked

Forgot to mention,

Weapon1 will be forceweapon.inrange=0. so if you say weapon4 for example, you need the integer 3 for it. you can add more weapon for different purposes.
