Is FireWeaponUpdate broken in KW? (Disruptor style weapon)

[Nowaru 1]

The reason why I ask this, is though I've successfully used FireWeaponUpdate on various stationary "objects"... when I try and apply it to even slow projectiles, it fails miserably.

I've currently been making a Disruptor style attack that fires 20 rapid projectiles that call FireWeaponUpdate every 0s or 0.1s and it very rarely hits even large structures and vehicles.  (It usually hits around 1 time per each 20 projectile volley)

The projectile itself travels at a WeaponSpeed of 200 (i'm not sure if this is too fast, but it seems slow to me)... it just seems completely broken functionality wise when put on anything that moves.

 

If I'm wrong I'd appreciate it if someone could correct me / or show me where I'm going wrong.

I'm happy to post code if required.

Thanks everyone. ^^

Madin I love you. xD

I'm not exactly sure what it was about what code I changed (mainly the timers for the passive damage, I think 0.1s must've been too long and I never thought of going below 0.1 for some reason), but I changed the arguments in each weapon (aside from clip stuff and some other bits) and now it works great. :3

Honestly I racked my brains for too long, but I'm so glad it works now. x)
