HWPs with two different weapons

[Align]

Is there some way to do this? I really wanna see a Cannon/Rockets combo HWP...

Actually, what about three or four weapons?

There are automatic cannons or heavy machine guns out there designed to be dual feed -- the M242 Bushmaster 25mm cannon on the M2/M3 bradley is dual feed -- one side is the AP Sabot belt, the other side is the HE/FRAG belt; so you can have multiple ammo types without having to unload the cannon.

So figure a dual feed cannon and a pair of single shot rocket launchers on the side of a HWP; and you have a big package of flexible firepower at your fingertips.

Good ideas but the only way I've found to implement new HWPs is to have the fixed weapon have the same name as the HWP in units (i.e. STR_NEW_HWP).

The alien units use the slightly different ALIENNAME_WEAPON for their fixed weapon names but trying that on an HWP seems to produce a crash (No error).

Due to this limitation, HWPs are limited to one weapon at the moment.
