Flame and damage?

[Scorpion]

Here's what I want to know.
I've been beavering away on getting know how files and stuff work on RA2 a bit better, and I can see how you caan turn a component into a flamethrower, but is it possible to make a weapon a flamethrower aswell, so it does damage as usual but also shoots damaging fire?

Take a weapon, change it's base to flamethrower and add material = metal(2) in the txt file.

[Serge]

material = metal(2)

Wait what?

[123savethewhales]

material = metal(X) adds damage to non weapon components.  Though nobody know how X translates to piercing/concussion.

For another kicker, type = power makes something indestructible.  So you can make some super indestructible flamer weapon with

base = Flamethrower
type = power
material = metal(15)
frequency = 65535

Thanks, i'll go have a fiddle around with it then.

Well then, I learned something new today :P.

[Trovaner]

I didn't know about the 'type = power' thing but wouldn't that make all the VS components in Backlash: First Blood invincible?

[JoeBlo]

Yes that was how it was first noticed...

HAHAHAHA THIS IS RIDICULOUS

Yes, 2^16 - 1 damage is pretty fun :P.
