how to extract firerate from transdata

[digdug]

Hi,
i'm trying to extract firerate from transdata /itemtable

so, if you do transdata /itemtable /help
there is no /firerate option available (there is /firedelay, but that's not it)
however if you try, /firerate is accepted as a parameter and returns values for weapons.
now, I don't know how to convert these values to what I read in the XML.
For example, for the recoilless cannon (firerate 16) transdata returns 125

But do not despair!
extract with transdata /itemtable /criteria:"w" /damage /averagedamage
then do:

averageDamage*360/damage = firerate

averageDamage*360/damage = firerate

 The /fireRate switch gives the same value as (typGetProperty weaponType 'fireRate). In one of my utility mods, I use (divide 2000 (typGetProperty weaponType 'fireRate)) to get the XML fireRate value. It’s… mostly accurate; weapons with an odd number fireRate return their fireRate-plus-one.

AH !
thanks AP !

(btw, odd firerates don't exist. a firerate of 15 is the same as firerate 16 for the engine)

 Actually, I think I remember having seen somewhere that the odd number fireRate weapons interact slightly differently with fireRateAdj and speed enhancements. For most intents and purposes, though, odd numbers are the same as odd-plus-one, yeah.
