It doesnt seem to:

A) do any damage up to the maximum range - the projective fires (I have altered the fuel rating in a separate weaponobject essentially copied from dragontankflame). It will damage shorter range objects but not the longer objects - even though the animation covers them.

B) doesnt target vehicles.

Any help/ideas will be greatfully appreciated (and posted in full if it works so that someone else can use it of course!)

here is the relevant code:

WeaponSet
    Conditions          = None 
    Weapon              = PRIMARY     Flame_TurretWeapon
    PreferredAgainst    = PRIMARY     INFANTRY
    AutoChooseSources   = PRIMARY     FROM_PLAYER FROM_AI FROM_SCRIPT

    Weapon              = SECONDARY   Flame_TurretWeapon
    PreferredAgainst    = SECONDARY   VEHICLE    
    AutoChooseSources   = SECONDARY   FROM_PLAYER FROM_AI FROM_SCRIPT

     
    ShareWeaponReloadTime = Yes
  End

I split the weapons up into pri/sec due to someone on here posting that it worked for them (on a mammoth tank type vehicle - it doesnt work for me though - I dont even get a 'valid target' for a vehicle.

  AttackRange                 = 300.0

  FireFX                      = WeaponFX_DragonTankFlameWeapon
  ProjectileDetonationFX      = WeaponFX_DragonTankMissileDetonation
  FireSound                   = DragonTankWeaponLoop
  FireSoundLoopTime           = 80                ; loop the firing sound until there's this much delay between shots 
  RadiusDamageAffects         = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS
  DelayBetweenShots           = 40                ; time between shots, msec
  ClipSize                    = 50                         ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
  ClipReloadTime              = 40                   ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
  AutoReloadsClip             = Yes 
  AntiAirborneVehicle         = No
  AntiAirborneInfantry        = No
  AntiGround                  = Yes
  AntiBallisticMissile        = No
  RequestAssistRange          = 200    ; when I fire, my object will look around for things of

  ProjectileCollidesWith      = STRUCTURES
End

Again this was basically a cut/paste of the dragonflame weapon with the projectile changed so that it fires further.

Any ideas anyone?

Basically it wont "damage" longer range units even though it will fire out to them and even if I click on the turret a vehicle isnt a "valid target"

do I need to post more info?
