Question on weapon modding
 

I want to give torpedoes a plus 15% to hit bonus in a weapon tweak mod I'm working on. What's the best way to add this in?

I foresee a lot of questions from you in the near future. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Anyway, you want to change this line:

Weapon Modifier := 0

Higher = better bonus.

Do you mean change from Weapon Modifier := 0 to say Weapon Modifier := 15 for a 15% boost to hit?

Yes, he does. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Also it helps to add a note about it in the description, because otherwise players won't know the weapon has a bonus to hit.

You could give the weapons a dud ability (like Star-unstable) to put the description of the bonus to hit in the section at the bottom of the in-game display that lists the descritpions of abilities. That is probably the best place to put it, because it is the most noticable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
