[Documentation] SpecialWeapons per Soldier Type
« on: February 04, 2020, 10:35:12 pm »
Three days ago a new OXCE Feature was merged, allowing for special weapons on soldiers.

A ruleset example would look like this:

Code: [Select]
soldiers:
  - type: STR_HEAVY
    specialWeapon: STR_ROCKET_LAUNCHER

How does it work, mate?

Like the specialWeapons already in the armor? Also, how does it behave when your soldier uses an armor with a specialWeapon already in? Both specialWeapons are used?

I hope it means that I can put my psi weapon directly on hybrid soldiers.

Yes, it exactly means you can put the psi weapon directly on hybrid soldiers.

As for having multiple special weapons (one on armor, one on soldier), one will take precedence according to the rules already in place for HWPs/aliens that you mind control:

  • The order in which the items are loaded into the unit determine which shows for the icon - for your soldiers the one defined on armor is loaded first, so it will be the one shown on the icon.
  • The order for special weapons accessed by an empty hand are done in order of the battleType for the item: Melee takes priority, next Psi amps, Firearms, Medikits, Motion scanners, then Mind probes last. If the two special weapons are the same battle type, then the load order determines which is used (armor first).

If you're going to use both in a mod, I'd recommend setting a convention for separating the two special weapons. For example, put the soldiers' one always in both empty hand and special icon, then armor only in special icon.

I see, ohartenstein beat me to the answers.

Adding one minor thing though: Yes, they work exactly as specialWeapons on armors, thus also taking no inventory space.

Yes, but they won't be using the same UI. You can have one for the special icon and one for the hands, like ohartenstein described.

The tank needs to have
1. Scaned movement
2. Psi Scanner
3. Laser weapons
4. Bombs

Trying to combine 3 and 4 into one weapon. Tried different options
Usually, the tank has 8 bombs per battle, but the bombs from the warehouse are not consumed
Either all 8 are consumed, regardless of the amount spent during the battle
