Title: Why you no use Beamz?
Post by: LoneFan on June 17, 2014, 03:58:24 am

Hi, I got board and decided to Fred up some missions using the WOD mod. But my cap ships wont use their beams. What am I missing?

Capships have their beams locked by default - I believe there will be a checkbox in the ship editor somewhere that should say "Beam Free" or something to that effect. You can also go to the Mission Specs Editor and check the "Beam Free All" checkbox (or something to that effect, I haven't opened FRED in a while) to free beams on all capships automatically. If you want to do this in the middle of a mission rather than from the start, there are the beam-free and beam-free-all SEXPs as well.

Hope that helps somewhat.

Thanks, selecting the free beam all default worked perfectly.
