seeker = LOCK
I'm making a new weapon, an energy weapon that uses "advanced quantum computing technology" to give the ion pulse limited tracking ability at the cost of overly excessive energy usage.
i can make everything work but i have two problems:
1: setting the seeker = lock tag under [munition in the weapon_equip.ini file appears to disable the const_effect effect, unless i'm using a missile effect. i'd like to use the original ion blast effect.
2: setting the seeker = lock tag also causes the game to only fire one shot per mouse click. as this is an energy weapon with a relatively high refire rate, holding the mouse button down to fire is ideal. i've looked around on the forums but all the posts on topics related to this are 3 years old and nobody knew of a workaround at the time. 3 years later i'm hoping somebody's found something.
i am rewriting the ini files directly for this. i may post an actual addon mod later, but not sure. here is the appropriate code from the weapons_equip.ini :
