How can i make the Plasma Pistol not run out of charge?
Also I would like to accurate it and increase the rate of fire.

Can this be done?

This can all be done in the [weap] tag.

as for the details, I think you go under triggers for the [weap] tag you want, and lower the age generated per round to 0, then it is infinite

for accuracy, lower the minimum and maximum spread (even though the plasma pistol is already perfectly accurate) again this is under triggers

for faster shooting, increase the Minimum and Maximum rate of fire (or it may be labeled as ROF) also under triggers, but again, the plasma pistol already has impossibly high ROF, it's just single shot

You can stop the plasma pistol from having an arc over long ranges by editing the weight in the projectile tag.

I already tried this but it does not work@

Yes that's what we said. And what do you mean 'it doesn't work'?

it only applys the changes to the map you open, are u sure you are testing it on the right map?

238drac · Post by **238drac** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 1:04 pm

yes it is the right map.
I reloaded HMT and now it works ok.

If I adjust the tag "Heat Generated per round" it effects the amount of shots till it overloads. Kinda like the magazine clip.

If i adjust the tag "Age Generated per round" it effects the battery life. like total Rounds.

Now the only thing I still need to adjust is the amount of time it takes to reload?

Any Ideas Where?

It's Heat-Loss Per Second.
