Umm.... fix the IsMagBeam and DiskLaser problem

IsMagBeam= 'Damage' tag is unused because the weapon didnt make a damage

DiskLaser= Warhead AnimList problem

IsMagBeam uses the damage. I am using a damaging magbeam weapon here as anti-air, never had problems with it.

the vanilla IsMagBeam doesnt make a damage, even both of MagneticBeam and its elite version had Damage=5000

It's not that IsMagBeam doesn't deal damage, it's IsLocomotor= on a warhead converts damage to effect.

So, if i use Jumpjet locomotor with high damage, then will it make the vehicle higher?

AFAIK, Damage is ignored altogether on weapons with IsLocomotor=yes warhead. Speed, height etc. used are the global defaults declared in JumpjetControls.

Me and Apollo were discussing this, and he informed me that you may also affect how individual units are lifted by the Magnetron by putting relevant Jumpjet tags on them. They won't use the locomotor, but when it is forced to change by the Magnetron it will follow those sets of rules instead.

I had a hunch that this would be the case as well but I didn't remember for sure and couldn't bother testing it myself. Thanks for clarifying it up.

well, just asking. the solution is just giving dummy AE/your anim with AE to the LocomotorBeam and give custom damage and warhead to the anim

While there's a thread about IsMagBeam going, I might as well ask: is it possible to have multiple different magbeam colors?

Yes, you can. http://ares-developers.github.io/Ares-docs/new/weapons.html#wave-effects
I tested it. Just set the color you want on the wave weapon.

Look at Magnetron's secondary versus buildings, goddamnit. That DOES damage.

gistop, MagBeam is a wave regarding color.

Well, like others already told you... The pulling beam weapon is not true weapon and won't obviously deal its damage, that damage is used for the speed of the pull for some extent, thus the ridiculous high amount.

Just like MindControl/EMP/Chaos will not deal actual damage and damage is used for the effect.

It's not a bug to be fixed (and it won't be fixed!), if insist on pulling units and having them also suffer damage during pull your gonna have to try AE magic or other crafty means.

Else just make it plain normal damaging beam by replacing warhead and damage value/ROF accordingly and stop whining on an issue that is by design the way it is !
