Author Topic: Weapons alias.  (Read 2183 times)

I posted this in the mod form about a month ago, but no response.  Maybe this is the correct place.

Is it possible to have Weapon B to be an alias to Weapon A.  If weapon A is changed B gets changed too?  Or at least an easier way to do than having to go in a copy and paste everything?

What you need is an equivalent to Turey's template code but for weapons instead of ships.

I kinda scanned through it, does it still require modifications on the original table ($template:?).  If so, then thats not doable.

Basically I want to use Saga's missiles, but I've already got my own missile names.  Now I could go through 40 models and redo their tables and upload them or I could copy and paste the values from their entries, but they wouldn't keep updated.  Or I could alias my missile with theirs and never have to touch it again.

That won't work as well.... each model is in a seperate vps (all those that i've uploaded).  However there is a single master weapon table, if I could change that one then everyone would get those updates.
