Weapon Definitions - component issues
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:59 am
Hey all 
So now that the WIP scripting ref has been released Ive decided to start converting custom content over to the new system.
I have started with a basic knife and I am having problems with a couple of the component properties.
I have tried to redefine the LoG2 throwing knife as a melee attack knife (as in LoG1)
Issues
-With primaryAction commented out, the knife will perform an attack - but will do nothing if primary action is not commented out.
-the editor doesnt mind requirements = {"light_weapons",2}, but I can still attack with the knife even with light weapons skill =1.
-the editor does not like requirementsText (and will not list the weapon requirements under the weapon name at the top .... http://ge.tt/6BvSvH32/v/0)
-the editor does not like coolDownTime either... and cool down time is not affected when I change its value.
Prozail has corrected the code! Thank you
