Chain Artillery?

[New Guy]

Has anybody tried making an Artillery System weapon that increases its damage per shot? Is this possible to make?

Yes, it's possible, but you may have to make a "boost" animation like the chain laser has (located in dlcAnimations.xml):

Code: Select all

<animSheet name="chainlaser" w="275" h="49" fw="25" fh="49">weapons/chainlaser_1_strip11.png</animSheet>
<weaponAnim name="chainlaser">
	<sheet>chainlaser</sheet>
	<desc length="11" x="0" y="0"/>
	<chargedFrame>4</chargedFrame>
	<fireFrame>6</fireFrame>
	<firePoint  x="16" y="16"/>
	<mountPoint x="4" y="37"/>
	<boost>chainlaser_1_charge</boost>
</weaponAnim>

<animSheet name="chainlaser_1_charge" w="75" h="49" fw="25" fh="49">weapons/chainlaser_1_chargeglow_strip3.png</animSheet>
<anim name="chainlaser_1_charge">
	<sheet>chainlaser_1_charge</sheet>
	<desc length="3" x="0" y="0"/>
	<time>1.0</time>
</anim>

If you're planing to modify the Federation Artillery, then you can just add <boost>chainlaser_1_charge</boost> to its animation and it will work.
