WeaponAttackButtonX tag

Post by KDR_11k »

String WeaponAttackButton[1-16]: If not null, the weapon gets its own attack button that is labelled with the string attached to this tag. This would replace the canDGun tag and the DGun button. A weapon with this tag set won't respond to attack orders, if the weapon is not CommandFire=1 it will keep firing at its assigned target until it either leaves range or the button is used to give it another target (kinda like the current attack orders). If a unit has multiple weapons with the same button name those get assigned to one button.

Long time ago, I suggested an 'ability' system, wich could make that, and many more stuff.

The base idea was to link a button from the interface with a part of the cob script, with different activation modes (once, timed, toggle, weapon), and (in the best version), a serie of modifiers to alter the fbi values. (But I'm not sure that is possible)...

I know, I think stuff like that has been suggested many times over but I think suggesting features in bite-size chunks makes them more appealing for the developers because they take less work to implement.

Why do I have the feeling that any of the feature requests are useless at the moment unless you do it yourself...
