Post the .variant and AA_double.wpn files?

"hardpointOffsets" is just the coordinates for where the shots come from when the weapon is in a hardpoint-type slot. The coords are relative to the center of the weapon, which is the center of the left half of the sprite, with the business end of the weapon pointing to the right (i.e., 0 degrees).

"turretOffsets" is the same, but used when the weapon is in a turret slot, and is relative to the center of the sprite.

Ahhh. This line:

"projectileSpecId":"dualflak_shot"

You also have to create a separate definition for the shot.

Hoooo thanks a lot it work but i dont understant why i can't use 1 shot for 2 weapon :S

[Alex]

Because the range is a property of the shot, and each weapon using it sets it. You could use the same shot if they had the same stats - range/damage/etc. I really ought to either move the shot definition into the .wpn file at some point, or let different weapons use the same shot with different stats...


Glad it finally works

Humm an other question how the collisionRadius work?? if my ship is 300 of lenght, collisionRadius is 300 too??

[Alex]

The collision radius, together with the center of rotation for the ship, define a circle which is used as part of collision checking. The radius needs to be large enough to cover the sprite, but not too large or it'll cause some inefficiency.
