Does anyone know if it's possible to have 2 upgrades on the same weapon?

I'm thinking of the Mig for nuke general having both the black napalm upgrade and
the tactical nukes upgrade...

The original ini code displays upgrade cameo for black napalm, as well as tactical nukes, but it has no effect on the weapon set. I want to fix this...

You'll have to add the napalm code to the missile instead of the weapon. If you need an example, look at toxin shells, as they do it via the shell instead of the weapon.

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

I think I get what you are saying, but after studying the toxin shells, I still cant get my weapon to work; I added a "Fire weapon when dead" to the missile object, but it doesnt fire.
As a test, I just want the missile to leave toxins like toxin shells, except not require an upgrade... Heres the code:

Weapon.ini:

End

WeaponObjects.ini:

; ---- begin Projectile death behaviors
  Behavior = InstantDeathBehavior DeathModuleTag_01
    DeathTypes = NONE +DETONATED
    ; we detonated normally.
    ; no FX, just quiet destroy ourselves
  End
  Behavior = InstantDeathBehavior DeathModuleTag_02
    DeathTypes = NONE +LASERED
    ; shot down by laser.
    FX         = FX_GenericMissileDisintegrate
    OCL        = OCL_GenericMissileDisintegrate
  End
  Behavior = InstantDeathBehavior DeathModuleTag_03
    DeathTypes = ALL -LASERED -DETONATED

  End

  End

Any thoughts?

Not sure why that doesn't work. I even tried different death modules and it still didn't work.

So, on to workarounds. I made this because workarounds are notoriously hard to explain.

Sorry for the late post, I had to finish something on my war factory and some other stuff, but I implemented your code and it worked perfectly!!!

I've changed a few things now so the missiles on weaponset 1 just explode and then leave radiation instead of flames... The radiation damage is increased by my "Man made isotopes" upgrade, which replaces black napalm as I have converted all "napalm" attacks to "nuclear" for this general... Weaponset 2 fires the tactical nuke which is also affected by the "Man made isotopes" upgrade... So there you have it! 2 weapon upgrades on the same unit!!!

Thank you so much for your time and help, you really made my day!
