I recently made a new weapon based on the hellfire drone's weapon. It works fine, but its on an aircraft and I'd like the Laser Missiles upgrade(the 1 in the airfield that affects the raptors and stealth fighters) to also affect this weapon. I've tried everything I konw to do(giving it a weapon bonus, cloning it off the raptor's weapon stats) but nothing works. Can someone please tell me how to get this upgrade to work with the new weapon?

First of all, make sure that this is somewhere in the new weapon definition (in Weapon.ini):

  WeaponBonus             = PLAYER_UPGRADE DAMAGE 125%

This allows the weapon to be affected by damage bonus upgrades. Now you need to specify which upgrade. With actual weapon objects such as tank shells and rockets, this is done in the object's code itself.

Open up WeaponObjects.ini (or wherever you've copied the rocket object definition), scroll down a bit, and check to see if something like this is present:

  Behavior = WeaponBonusUpgrade ModuleTag_99
    TriggeredBy = Upgrade_AmericaLaserMissiles
  End

This triggers the WeaponBonus assignment in the weapon and gives the missile or shell the weapon bonus.

Since you've already tried the weapon bonus approach, I think you overlooked the latter part.

Thanks. This was a big help. Now the upgrade works, I just needed to place the Behavior Trigger in the object's settings. This also means I can now make the new upgardes I had in mind.
