Weapon Variables

Weapon Variable Descriptions

Variable	Description	Examples
Accuracy	Amount of accuracy in 64K deg that weapon is good for.	Accuracy=0-64000; 0 = 100% accuracy
AreaOfEffect	The total area that receives damage from the weapon's explosion.	Nuclear missiles have AreaofEffect=1000 while most lasers have under 10.
Ballistic	Weapon is fired according to a ballistic path using gravity.	Boolean
BeamLaser	Weapon is a continuous laser beam (ie NOD's Obelisk of Light)	Boolean
BeamTime*	How long a BeamLaser weapon fires its beam. Note that a BeamLaser with a high Beamtime will deal out its damage evenly over the time the Beam is activated. Default 1.	Beamtime=3;
BeamWeapon	Weapon is a laser and fires a laser beam.	Boolean
BurnBlow	Weapon will detonate when it comes to the end of its range.	Boolean
Burst	How many shells/laser beams etc are fired per shot. Default 1.	Burst=6; will fire 6 shots.
BurstRate	Time between each burst shot (in decimals); the lower the number, the faster the shot is made.	BurstRate=0.10;
RGBColor2	Secondary color of shot, expressed in three decimal numbers for Red, Green and Blue values (see example)	RGBColor2=1 0 1; would produce a purple-ish color as it combines Red and Blue with no Green.
RGBColor	Main color of shot, expressed in three decimal numbers for Red, Green and Blue values (see example)	RGBColor=1 1 0; would produce a yellow-ish color as it combines Red and Green with no Blue.
CommandFire	This weapon will need to be expressly fired by the user each and every time it is used.	Boolean
Coverage	The protection umbrella range for weapons that shoot other weapons.	Coverage=700;
Dropped	Weapon is dropped in order to use it, typically a bomb. Note: Planes with dropped weapons will behave differently than normal planes.	Boolean
EdgeEffectiveness	The percentage (1.0 = 100%) of the damage that is inflicted at the edge of the area of effect. Used for damage drop-off. Default 1.	Edgeeffectiveness=0.1;
EnergyPerShot	Energy consumed per shot, default 0.	EnergyPerShot=10;
FireStarter	Weapon will cause treefires, expressed as a %, where 100% guarantees a treefire	FireStarter=100; will always start a treefire if a tree suffers damage from it.
Guidance
ImpulseFactor
Intensity	Intensity of of laser's color. Expressed as a decimal - Default 0.9	Intensity=0.5;
Interceptor	Weapon can intercept other weapons.	Boolean
LineOfSight	Weapon is fired in a straight line, gravity does not effect path (ie lasers).	Boolean
MetalPerShot	Metal consumed per shot. Default 0.	MetalPerShot=5;
Model	The 3do or 3so model for the projectile.	Model=SuperMissile.s3o
MovingAccuracy	Same as Accuracy, except applicable only when unit is moving.	Accuracy=0-64000; 0 = 100% accuracy
NoExplode	No explosion when weapon impacts target.	Boolean
NoSelfDamage	Do no damage to self.	Boolean
Paralyzer	Weapon will stun the enemy for a length of time described in the damage field.	Boolean
PlasmaRepulser
Range	The range of the weapon.	Range=1000;
ReloadTime	The amount of time between shots in seconds	ReloadTime=3;
Rendertype
RepulseEnergy
RepulseForce
RepulseRange
RepulseSpeed
Selfprop
SmokeTrail	Does the projectile leave a smoke trail.
SoundHit	The sound (filename without extension) made whe the weapon hits.	SoundHit=FX_IMPACT5
SoundStart	The sound (filename without the extension) made when the weapon fires.	SoundStart=FX_XPLODE2
SoundTrigger	For burst weapons; SoundStart will trigger only once for burst weapons. If SoundTrigger=0, SoundStart will be triggered once for every burst shot.	Boolean
SprayAngle	How wide the the angle of a burst from a burst weapon can be, in 64000 degrees.	SprayAngle=100;
StartVelocity	The starting speed of the weapon as it is fired
Stockpile	Is this weapon Stockpiled.
Targetable	Can the weapon be targeted by an interceptor?
TargetMoveError
Thickness	Thickness of the laser, default is 2.
ToAirWeapon	Only target Aircraft.
Tolerance
Tracks	Does it track it's targets.
TrajectoryHeight
Turnrate	How fast a guided weapon can turn.
Turret	Set to 1 if weapon is used by a turret that rotates. Set to 0 if weapon is forward firing (ie aircraft weapons)
TwoPhase
VLaunch	Set to 1 to launch rockets vertically, ie Krogoth, Diplomat etc rockets
WaterWeapon
WeaponAcceleration	Tells the weapon how fast it should accelerate from its StartVelocity to its actual WeaponVelocity.
WeaponTimer
WeaponVelocity	The speed the weapon moves after being fired. If StartVelocity is lower than this number, the weapon will increase speed to its WeaponVelocity (see WeaponAcceleration)
Wobble

If beamtime == 0 it is rounded up to one.
