well, i've been playing around with map.ini 's and have found that you can't override weapons found in weapons.ini.

However, you can define new weapons.

I am looking to change the behavior of the flahsbang so it acts more like a molatav cocktail, however, i am running into a few problems.

firstly, in map.ini i have defined a new weapon called RangerFlashBangGrenadeWeapon2 which is an EXACT copypaste of RangerFlashBangGrenadeWeapon.

i have then added;

Object AmericaInfantryRanger
WeaponSet
Conditions = PLAYER_UPGRADE
Weapon = PRIMARY RangerAdvancedCombatRifle
Weapon = SECONDARY RangerFlashBangGrenadeWeapon2
AutoChooseSources = PRIMARY FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI DEFAULT_SWITCH_WEAPON
AutoChooseSources = SECONDARY FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI
WeaponLockSharedAcrossSets = Yes ; This set is so similar to the default set that it can hold the weapon lock
End
End


Now this seems to work, as i tweaked the amount of damage dealt by flashbang2 and it does work in game.
HOWEVER, graphics don't. The flashbang projectile does not draw, nor do any explosions.

is there something i've missed?

under the weapon falshbang2, i'm using the original ProjectileObject = RangerFlashBangGrenade
so why doesn't it draw this?

ProjectileDetonationFX = WeaponFX_RangerFlashBangGrenadeDetonation
also fails to draw the detonation animation.

why is this?


is there any other way to tweak weapon parameters without having to define a new weapon?

thanks for any help
