Lua WeaponDefs

Development < Lua Scripting < Lua WeaponDefs

The WeaponDefs[] table holds all information about the weapons used in a game.

Works the same way as Lua_UnitDefs except the tables are called WeaponDefs[] and WeaponDefNames[]

Note: Its entries are metatables, so you can't use the pairs() iterator on them, use this instead:

  for id,weaponDef in pairs(WeaponDefs) do
    for name,param in weaponDef:pairs() do
      Spring.Echo(name,param)
    end
  end

Naming

If a unit named "tank" has a weapon named "gun", the resulting name will be "tank_gun" and you can get this weaponDefID like:

local gunID = WeaponDefNames["tank_gun"].id

Example

For a more detailed overview of tag definitions look at Gamedev:WeaponDefs or look directly at the source at https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/5f08624585852b8c8dfd1a16d020ae530269dc09/rts/Sim/Weapons/WeaponLoader.cpp

In key = value format, where WeaponDefs[weaponDefID].key==value, with subtables at the end.
