Is there way to make them power each other up like they did in RA2/YR. I want to know because right now on RA2: Unleashed we are having a conflict on how to make them link and fire, etc. Right now the only way we thought of that would work is making them have the same system the patriots have. But if there are other ways please tell us, so we can settle this conflict.

I think I know how to get them to link, but they both will fire instead of one.

Ok, can you tell me? lol. Thanks. Hopefuly it will end the conflict.

umm, i dont know crap about coding but i do know logic, try using the laser patriot thing , hope that would help

[Kelso]

Did you get the Prism beam to actually bounce off enemies and into adjacent spaces like in RA2? That might make a cool addition to slow_moe's electricity weapon.

I tried it with the laser patriot setup but it doesn't work like it should.
My idea but no idea how to get it to work: (From RA2:U forum)
I did that when i tested it out but it doesn't feel right and once in a while you get a very long beam or multiple shots from a tower in a short amount of time. How about having a nearby tower fire a weapon that gives a firepower bonus to the tower that is firing until it is also within range, that is also how the ones in ra2 seem to work. We can make it to where the ones giving the support (firepower bonus) just light up or we can give them a bogus weapon that acts like the patriot support but give it the same range and fire rate as the main weapon so that it apears when the others fire.

Only one thing if I remember, an idea like that or similar that Dogtag gave you didn't like, course i could be wronge.

I don't think it will end the conflict, its just like the patriot. But I have somewhat of an idea, give prism towers a horde ability that requires at least one other tower to empower it. The bonus will act like the prism tower connecting, but there won't be a beam connection them.

[TankMaster]

We thought about the horde bonus, but Dogtag said it would crash the game since the horde bonus is ment for units.

There is no distinction in Generals between units and structures (except in a few specific cases eg. bombtruck disguise). Everything is an object

Try it and see. Can't know if it works until you do
