Energy weapon-only mount? |
I'm trying to create a mount that can only be used by energy weapons. Since there is no function to call the Delivery Type of a weapon, my thought was to add an AI tag to all energy weapons.
The problem I have with that is there doesn't appear to be a function to check for a specfic ability. Only totals or percents of an ability.
Any ideas on how to have a mount usable by only certain Delivery Types?
Re: Energy weapon-only mount?
Hadn't thought of that. I had assumed that if the ability (AI Tag) didn't need a value that it wouldn't even check for it. I'll try that out!
I looked through the list of functions dozens of times and I still missed Does_Component_Have_Ability. huh.

Now that I think about it... if the Amount1 works for AI Tag, that could allow for a single AI tag being used for more than 1 purpose.
example: AI Tag 20, Amount1=1 for all Energy Beam weapons
Amount1=2 for all Energy Bolt weapons
Amount1=3 for all Projectile weapons
etc, etc.

Only for 1 per ship components; the function returns the total ability value, not the value per component.

FYI:
I added the AI Tag ability to all energy weapons and the mount to check for that ability and it works perfectly!

Have you tried You could also try Does_Component_Have_Ability()?
You could also try adding a value to amount1 for the AI tag and then check to see if the total for that ability is greater than zero for your requirement.
