Title: Beam Mis-firing (Resolved) :-)
Post by: Cyborg17 on August 31, 2011, 08:31:28 pm

Hey guys, I've been working on a couple beam cannons, but during fredding, the beam is being used to shoot down fighters and bombers.  It's pretty confusing since they are type 0 beams..... :confused:

Anyway, here's the table file:

Code: [Select]

Also, since I'm posting, does anybody know how to correctly index the beam sections?  Every time I edit them, I get an error.

Beam section indexes are only used when you are trying to edit an existing beam weapon, in which case the new data will override the old data.

Oh, thanks.  Now all the wiki entries make sense. >.>

Code: [Select]

$Flags: ( "captial+" "huge "same turret cooldown" "pierce shields" "Big Ship" "Beam" )You're missing a double quote after the huge flag.
