[Mad Bomber]

I haven't found anything in the Weapons.tbl page on the wiki about this, so I'll ask here.

Can the FS2 Open code currently accomodate weapons (primary or secondary) that deal variable damage based on the amount of distance they've traveled? (E.g. $Max Damage at $Range1, $Min Damage at $Range2, with the area in between being calculated on a sliding scale.)

Only in beams.

I suspected that was the case 

[Droid803]

Not really an issue.
Everything should be using beams anyway.
(I'm being sarcastic)

Doable with scripting™

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Like, an entry for each range bracket of the weapon, and the script would change the weapon to the appropriate variant based on range-to-target.

How could I do this and still account for the player being able to change their weapons loadout before the mission began?

(Might be time to move this to the Scripting subforum...)
