I know how to add new units, but I only know how to give them other units' weapons. How can I add completely new weapons for my new units?

It's pretty simple, look up 'Weapon Statistics', 'Projectile Statistics', and 'Warhead Characteristics' in the Rules to learn what all of the codes mean.

Now I'll give you a complete example because I'm just that generous (don't expect it to happen too often).

 

[M270MLRS] ; Your new unit

Primary=XM31 ; Your new weapon

 

[XM31] ; Your new weapon

Damage=20

ROF=90 ; Rate of Fire, 15 = ~1 second (dependant on speed setting)

Range=12

Burst=6

Projectile=GMLRS ; Your new projectile

Speed=40

Warhead=HERocket ; Your new warhead

Report=AegisAttack

MinimumRange=2

 

[GMLRS] ; Your new projectile

Shadow=no

Proximity=yes

AA=no

AG=yes

AN=yes

AS=no

Image=DRAGON

ROT=80

SubjectToCliffs=no

SubjectToElevation=no

SubjectToWalls=yes

 

[HERocket] ; Your new warhead

CellSpread=.5

PercentAtMax=1

Verses=100%,100%,90%,100%,100%,100%,70%,60%,30%,100%,100%

InfDeath=4

AnimList=XGRYMED1,XGRYMED2,EXPLOMED

ProneDamage=75%

 

[Warheads] ; You need this too

106=HERocket ; Any number over 105

 

 

You can easily learn more about existing weapons by finding the Primary of any unit you are interested in and looking it up in the Rules.

Technically, you don't need to list every warhead. Westwood missed quite a few of their own and they function flawlessly. It's good practice to include them however.

Actually I haven't always included them either, I figured the list existed for a reason though...

It lists for reference purposes in map triggers, and some are hardcoded to certain conditions as well. It's still a good idea to include them however. It cuts down on potential warhead related errors.

Thanks NMENTH. I haven't tried it yet, but your directions look pretty easy to follow. I'll try later today.

Any way to get a tertiary weapon (in the form of a C4-Pack for a unit)

I know the weapon set has 'SAPPER' as the C4 weapon

 

Though I have noticed my Sniper unit (deployable) is able to use C4 (C4=yes) without secondary equalling 'SAPPER'

Any ideas, LOL?
