Weapon Variables

Weapon Variable Descriptions

Variable	Description	Examples
Accuracy	How inaccurate a weapon is.
AreaOfEffect	How large the weapon's impact explosion is.
Ballistic	Set to 1 for the weapon to be subjected to gravity, travelling in an arc through the air, such as cannons. See LineOfSight.
BeamLaser
BeamTime*	How long to fire the laser before waiting for ReloadTime to start.
BeamWeapon
BurnBlow	The weapon blows up at the end of its range
Burst	How many shots are in a burst.
BurstRate	How fast the Burst fires.
Color2	Saturation
Color	Hue
CommandFire	The weapon must be manually activated for each shot.
Coverage	The range for anti-weapon weapons, like antinukes.
Dropped
EdgeEffectiveness	Determins how much of a weapon's damage is done at the very outer edge of its areaofeffect radius (in decimels, ie, =1 and the damage will be the same as in the middle, .1 and the damage will be only 10% of the weapon's default damage).
EnergyPerShot	Energy used per shot.
FireStarter	How likely the weapon will set trees on fire.
Guidance
ImpulseFactor
Intensity	Alpha of the laser, default is 0.9
Interceptor	Can intercept projectiles. I.E. Anti-Nuke
LineOfSight	Set to 1 for weapons that ignore gravity and travel in a straight line, such as lasers. (See Ballistic)
MetalPerShot	Metal used per shot.
Model	The 3do or 3so filename model for the projectile (ie SuperRocket.3do)
MovingAccuracy	A weapon's accuracy while moving.
NoExplode
NoSelfDamage	Do no damage to self.
Paralyzer	Can this weapon paralyze units or not.
PlasmaRepulser
Range	The range of the weapon
ReloadTime	The amount of time between shots.
Rendertype
RepulseEnergy
RepulseForce
RepulseRange
RepulseSpeed
Selfprop
SmokeTrail	Does the projectile leave a smoke trail.
SoundHit	The sound made whe the weapon hits.
SoundStart	The sound made when the weapon begins to fire.
SoundTrigger
SprayAngle	How wide the the angle of a burst from a burst weapon can be.
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.
