Hey there,

I just wanted to know whether anyone has been able to create reversible weaponset upgrades. I am currently using a combination of OCLs and drones which doesn't work correctly. While the upgrade is removed by the killed drone, the parent unit's weaponset does not return to the original state.

I don't want to use Combatbike-Logic nor the Switch-Weapon command known from the Ranger.

So basically, is there a way to reverse a weaponset upgrade? The upgrade would be OBJECT type, of course.

Thanks for any help,

Don't think so, Seems like the Ranger Switch is your best option, but to make it automatically switch back after the drone is dead shouldn't work either, Give more info about what your trying to do and i'll try to fint a way around it.

Well my main unit has these modules:

  Behavior = WeaponSetUpgrade ModuleTag_05
    TriggeredBy = Upgrade_TankGun_HEAT
  End

  Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_06
    UpgradeObject = OCL_TankGun_HEAT
    TriggeredBy   = Upgrade_TankGun_HEAT
  End

  Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_07
    MaxQueueEntries = 1; So you can't build multiple upgrades in the same frame
  End

So the upgrade "Upgrade_TankGun_HEAT" switches the tank's weapon to another weapon type. At the same time the dummy drone is created (currently an exact copy of the US Battledrone).

ObjectCreationList OCL_TankGun_HEAT
  CreateObject
    Offset = X:0 Y:0 Z:40
    ObjectNames = TankGun_HEAT_Dummy
    IgnorePrimaryObstacle = Yes
    Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING
    Count = 1
    RequiresLivePlayer = Yes
  End
End

The drone has that module:

  Behavior = UpgradeDie  ModuleTag_12
    ;This frees the object based upgrade for the producer object.
    DeathTypes = ALL
    UpgradeToRemove     = Upgrade_TankGun_HEAT ModuleTag_13
  End

That means whenever the drone is killed, I am just shooting it by an AA-weapon at the moment, the upgrade should be removed and the weapon restored.

Well, the upgrade is removed, but the weapon stays. So that's my problem.

Try to make an OCL that spawns the Turret with the weapon you want, and make that a second OCL that comes with that upgrade, and when that upgrade goes away, so should it, and I'm pretty sure you can't get rid of weapons upgrades but I hope sombody can prove me wrong.

I am currently trying something different, let's see whether I am successfull.

Edit: I decided to use the weapon switch method known from the Ranger. The other option is just to complicated

Yeah. thats what I thought would be the best option.
