Is there a syntax guide for creating/editing accessories? I've been able to pick up some basic just from studying whats already there, but i can't come up with new stuff on my own. It's not so much the tags as the order things are suppose to go in and what tags exist, if anyone could go over this with an example or something i'd be very appriciative

Note: An up to date listing of the accessories.xml attributes can now be found in the Scorched 3D wiki, here.

Version 37 Weapon Primivites & Their Attributes

Some things to keep in mind, any time you see "Weapon..." that means that another primitive would then follow here. Also, I am leaving it out but you would need to place <description>...</description>, <icon>...</icon>, <cost>#</cost> and <bundlesize>#<bundlesize> under the primitive if you were actually putting it at the head of the weapon like this.

WeaponAimedOver - Aims a number of the next primitive at nearby opponents from the current position

Version 38 Weapon Primivites & Their Attributes

Basic definition syntax:

Code:

<accessory type="Weapon Primitive">
   <attribute>value</attribute> (typical required attribute)
   <attribute/> (typical optional attribute)
</accessory>

Attributes not specific to any single weapon primitive:

Code:

   <name>weapon name</name>
      ^ name of the weapon, different sections can have different names
   <armslevel>0-10</armslevel>
      ^ used to determine weapon availability and reward
         - lower value = larger weapon with lower reward
         - higher value = smaller weapon with higher reward
   <description>weapon description</description>
      ^ contents of this attribute are displayed in the in game pop-up
         - only used at the head of an accessory
   <icon>icon.bmp</icon>
      ^ location and name of the icon to display in buy/weapon menus
   <cost>#</cost>
      ^ cost to buy <bundlesize> amount of the accessory
   <bundlesize>#</bundlesize>
      ^ the amount of the accessory you buy per purchase

Attributes specific to each weapon primitive:

Some things to keep in mind, any time you see "Weapon..." that means that another primitive would then follow here. Also, I am leaving it out but you would need to place <name>...</name>, <armslevel>0-10</armslevel>, <description>...</description>, <icon>...</icon>, <cost>#</cost> and <bundlesize>#<bundlesize> under the <accessory type="..."> part if you were actually putting each primitive at the head of a weapon like it is listed.

<shieldhurtfactor>#</shieldhurtfactor> (optional attribute)
^ damage projectile does to reflect shields, 1 = 100%

my findings are that this value actually affects the specific <removepower> value by multiplying the two values together

works the same on all shields regarless of type I think.

also, Bob, could you add in shield syntax up top?

Had a tag wrong here, was playing with this one tonight. Correction shown (should be "velocitychange" instead of "velocity")

Using the

Code:

<subweapon2 type='WeaponRandomChoice'> 
<weaponchoice1>
    <weight>60</weight>
    <weapon type='WeaponInvokeWeapon'>
   <invoke>Baby Nuke</invoke>
    </weapon>
</weaponchoice1>

will it be possible to have a tank fire a random weapon?

Beware the VOID

When in doubt on why your mod broke...
it's all Bobirov's fault.

I've decided to unsticky this to keep this section moderately clean. =P

Instead, I'll make topic redirecting to the wiki for help.
