HI all, i am currently working on a Zero Ballistic mod, I am trying to give the Overlord a Dual particle uplink cannon.

I the tank will shoot a laser beam similar to the one on the laser crusader ,but the beam will be a smaller version of Particle uplink beam.

I was try to edit the laser property but i can't find them anywhere.

Weapon OverlordlaserGun
PrimaryDamage = 80 ;100.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 5.0
ScatterRadiusVsInfantry = 10.0 ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.
SecondaryDamage = 20.0
SecondaryDamageRadius = 10.0
AttackRange = 175.0
MinTargetPitch = -15 ; we may not target anything outside of this pitch range
MaxTargetPitch = 15 ; ditto
DamageType = EXPLOSION
DeathType = EXPLODED
WeaponSpeed = 99999 ; dist/sec
WeaponRecoil = 5 ; angle to deflect the model when firing
LaserName = Lazr_CrusaderLaserBeam
LaserBoneName = TurretMS01
FireFX = Lazr_WeaponFX_LaserCrusader
VeterancyFireFX = HEROIC WeaponFX_HeroicGenericTankGunNoTracer
FireSound = OverlordTankWeapon
RadiusDamageAffects = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS
DelayBetweenShots = 300 ; time between shots, msec
ShotsPerBarrel = 1 ; By default, shoot one shot per barrel
ClipSize = 0 ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
ClipReloadTime = 0 ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
WeaponBonus = PLAYER_UPGRADE DAMAGE 125% ; UraniumShells
ProjectileCollidesWith = STRUCTURES WALLS
End

Which .ini file can "Lazr_CrusaderLaserBeam" be found?
what projectile should i use??

Object SupW_ParticleUplinkCannon_OrbitalLaser
; *** ART Parameters ***
Draw = W3DLaserDraw ModuleTag_01
Texture = EXNoise02.tga
NumBeams = 12 ;Number of overlapping cylinders that make the beam. 1 beam will just use inner data.

Tile = Yes ;The height of the texture will determine how many times to tile the texture to fit without scaling.
ScrollRate = -1.75 ;Scrolls the texture offset this fast -- towards(-) away(+)
TilingScalar = 0.15 ;Stretches tiling if value > 1.0, otherwise shrinks it (1.0 is natural)

InnerBeamWidth = 0.6 ;The total width of beam
InnerColor = R:255 G:255 B:255 A:250 ;The inside color of the laser (hot)

OuterBeamWidth = 26.0 ;The total width of beam
OuterColor = R:255 G:0 B:255 A:150 ;The outside color of the laser (cool)

;MaxIntensityLifetime = 2000 ;Laser stays at max intensity for specified time in ms.
;FadeLifetime = 0 ;Laser will fade and delete.

;@todo -- add shot ability functionality (instead of instant point A to B)
End

; *** DESIGN Parameters ***
VisionRange = 100
ShroudClearingRange = 120

; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***
KindOf = IMMOBILE

ClientUpdate = LaserUpdate ModuleTag_02
;MuzzleParticleSystem = None
;TargetParticleSystem = None
End
End

should i use this?

thanks in advance.

1. Lasers Don't Use Projectiles.
2. Lazr_CrusaderLaserBeam = the colour of the Laser AFK. I don't know where it's located (as I've looked for quite a long time)
3. The PC uses different tags and abilite to make it's laser.

No one seems to look good enough or assumes to much.

Well, here it is.

Here is th Lazr_CrusaderLaserBeam from LaserGeneral.iniL

Object Lazr_CrusaderLaserBeam
; *** ART Parameters ***
Draw = W3DLaserDraw ModuleTag_01
Texture = EXLaser4.tga
NumBeams = 5 ;Number of overlapping cylinders that make the beam. 1 beam will just use inner data.
InnerBeamWidth = 0.005 ;The total width of beam
InnerColor = R:100 G:0 B:0 A:100 ;The inside color of the laser (hot)
OuterBeamWidth = 15 ;The total width of beam
OuterColor = R:100 G:0 B:0 A:0 ;The outside color of the laser (cool)
Tile = Yes ;The height of the texture will determine how many times to tile the texture to fit without scaling.
ScrollRate = -2500 ;Scrolls the texture offset this fast -- towards(-) away(+)
Segments = 1 ;Number of segments -- more segments give smoother curve (but more joints) Current max: 20
SegmentOverlapRatio = 0 ;This value overlaps(+) or separates(-) the segments by ratio
TilingScalar = -3 ;Stretches tiling if value > 1.0, otherwise shrinks it (1.0 is natural)
;MaxIntensityLifetime = 2000 ;Laser stays at max intensity for specified time in ms.
;FadeLifetime = 0 ;Laser will fade and delete.
;@todo -- add shot ability functionality (instead of instant point A to B)
End
KindOf = IMMOBILE
Geometry = Sphere
GeometryIsSmall = Yes
GeometryMajorRadius = 2.0
ClientUpdate = LaserUpdate ModuleTag_07
MuzzleParticleSystem = PaladinPointDefenseLaserFlare
TargetParticleSystem = GenericRedLaserFlare
PunchThroughScalar = 1.3 ; If our target dies, we get this much bigger so it looks like we punched through
End
Behavior = DestroyDie ModuleTag_03
;nothing
End
Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_04
MinLifetime = 205 ; min lifetime in msec
MaxLifetime = 205 ; max lifetime in msec
End
End

Here is the laser tank's gun:

Weapon Lazr_CrusaderTankGun
PrimaryDamage = 80.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 5.0
ScatterRadiusVsInfantry = 10.0 ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.
AttackRange = 150.0
MinTargetPitch = -15 ; we may not target anything outside of this pitch range
MaxTargetPitch = 15 ; ditto
DamageType = ARMOR_PIERCING
DeathType = NORMAL
WeaponSpeed = 99999 ; dist/sec
WeaponRecoil = 5 ; angle to deflect the model when firing
LaserName = Lazr_CrusaderLaserBeam
LaserBoneName = TurretMS01
FireFX = Lazr_WeaponFX_LaserCrusader
RadiusDamageAffects = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS
DelayBetweenShots = 2300 ; time between shots, msec
ClipSize = 0 ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
ClipReloadTime = 0 ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
ProjectileCollidesWith = STRUCTURES WALLS
DelayBetweenShots = 2000 ; time between shots, msec
End

(I am also working on a dual laser tank, combining 2 laser tanks and mammoth tank from renegade. I am also trying to get the "prism support" from ra2 to work in generals.)

Before you accuse me of not knowing what I am doing or not looking enough take yourself off to this Address:

http://network.joaorp.com/ci

There'll you see my mod as well as I could give names of people who think very highly of me. You assume too much.

And Why do we need dual laser tanks? Noobish.

[CodeCat]

He may have his reasons for putting this in. Don't judge his mod before it's finished. You might enjoy it later on...

[Wize]

Excuse me, but a mammoth tank PLUS Dual Lasers plus an attempt at Prism Support.

That says enough...

I am doing the prism support for a red alert 2 mod and the dual laser tank is just my attempt at taking up time before i go back to college next week.
