Weapon

Weapons are the projectiles, beams and missiles used by ships to blast one another to little bits. Weapons are items, and their file names follow the format of wp_weaponname.ini.

All weapons need the line "TYPE weapon" in their .ini files.

Codes

The following commands and codes appear in the .ini files for items.

Data Block:

Most of the functionality of a weapon is contained in the data block.

Nested / second-level entries on that list are flags or values that follow the first-level code before them. For example, you might have a line that reads "TYPE beam", but you wouldn't have a line that just says "TYPE" or just says "beam".

Things in bold are ones all main-game weapons have in common. It's highly likely you'll need them in your weapon file in order for it to function properly.
