Launcher Question

[DigaRW]

I'm working to creating launcher mod. But seems I'm have a problem, and I have some question about launcher.
-Can missile launcher spread into 8 missile? If cannot, then maximum spread?
-Can I add multitarget?
-And how to make a damage? I'm confused.

You can have a launcher spread into eight shots, but you can't specify a configuration like spread3 for it, because that's too many shots. You could either have a missile split into submunitions (like the NAMI heavy Medusa) or specify a <Configuration> field, like the ion flame cannon does. If you want the launcher to consume eight units of ammunition at a time, that's a little more complex.

I think the Medusa multitargets but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what you mean by "make a damage", though.

-About spread, I'm not try to make eight shot consume eight missiles. Just eight shot consume one missile.
-Ok, I'll using Ion flame sample.
-About damage, I'm don't know the meaning of "3d4" or something like that. I'm ask this because I can't directly configure weapon damage to desired damage.

"3d4" means "Three dice rolls of four"
So, "1d6" would be the equivalent of rolling a regular die once, meaning the damage value will be between one and six. This adds a little bit of randomness to the damage the weapon does.

If you want a more specific value, you can also do something like "2d6+40" as your damage value - this will roll the die twice and the add 40 to it, so the damage will be between 41 and 52.

Thanks Xephyr, I'm just finished my first mod by your assistance.
