ProjectileWeaponSpecAPI functions don't work with ensureClonedSpec
« on: May 13, 2023, 02:49:14 PM »
e.g. projectileWeaponSpec.setChargeTime(3f) inside WeaponEffectPluginWithInit.init, expected behavior would be to change the charge time of the weapon to 3 seconds, but nothing happens.
Or projectileWeaponSpec.setEnergyPerShot(1000f) inside WeaponEffectPluginWithInit.init, expected behavior would be to change the base flux per shot to 1000, but this doesn't happen. Interestingly though, weapon.getFluxCostToFire does correctly get modified.

All of these happen "too late" to make a difference; when the weapon is created it copies some values from the spec rather than always referring to the spec for them.
