For my new map I had to make a modified weapon for the raptor


Weapon RaptorWeapon
  PrimaryDamage               = 10000.0            
  PrimaryDamageRadius         = 5.0
  ScatterRadiusVsInfantry     = 10.0     ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.
  AttackRange                 = 520 ;400.0
  MinimumAttackRange          = 100.0
  AcceptableAimDelta          = 30
  DamageType                  = JET_MISSILES
  DeathType                   = EXPLODED
  WeaponSpeed                 = 1000
  ProjectileObject            = RaptorJetMissile
  ProjectileExhaust           = MissileExhaust
  VeterancyProjectileExhaust  = HEROIC HeroicMissileExhaust
  FireFX                      = None
  FireSound                   = RaptorJetMissileWeapon
  ProjectileDetonationFX      = WeaponFX_JetMissileDetonation
  RadiusDamageAffects         = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS NOT_SIMILAR
  ClipSize                    = 1 
  ClipReloadTime              = 8000 
  AutoReloadsClip             = RETURN_TO_BASE 
  ProjectileCollidesWith      = STRUCTURES
  AntiAirborneVehicle         = Yes
  AntiAirborneInfantry        = No
  ShowsAmmoPips               = Yes
  WeaponBonus                 = PLAYER_UPGRADE DAMAGE 125%
End

OK , it worked fine when I tested it but of course later I noticed an issue:
The ProjectileObject ,ProjectileExhaust and ProjectileDetonationFX just didn't occur when I was testing it
😮 💀 :ashamed:

So if anyone knows how to fix this I'd be happy to hear it ...

P.S this code you see is in a Weapon.ini file.As far as I remember making a new weapon in the map.ini had no effect ...

So did the Raptor deal its damage instantly instead of launching missiles had having them travel to the target?

I don't see anything wrong in the code. Did you edit anything else to fit the weapon in?

I highly doubt that the code is wrong somewhere since I just copied it and edited what I had to ...

Did you edit anything else to fit the weapon in?

Well, yes actually I fitted the weapon onto the aircraft carrier raptor but AFTER I saw that it didn't function properly on the normal raptor ... Well ,either way it's the same story with both the raptors
Also now that I lowered the WeaponSpeed I noticed that it doesn't deal the damage instantly.Somehow it launches an imaginary missile lol
Btw how many ways are there to create a weapon just for one map ?

ok i see a few things wrong in your code first you have this
ScatterRadiusVsInfantry = 10.0 ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.
AttackRange = 520 ;400.0

the

randomly miss by as much as this distance.

part is taking up a line, secont you have no fire delay

P.S.

to have a weapon only on a certain map you have to use map ini files

Fire delay ? Err.. I don't see what that has to do with anything ...

Oh, and yeah it's a map.ini ,sorry (initially I made the weapon in a weapon.ini and a map.ini and didn't know which one was the working one)
