Question about projectiles

[attyla]

i've made some new projectiles for my mod. Unfortunately i found that archers using new projectiles cannot use flamed arrows. What should i do to give archers using new projectiles a possibility of using flamed arrows?

Hi mate, maybe it's your lucky day, I've just wrote a tutorial on projectiles, take a look Here.
Regards.

I know your tutorial. Unfortunately it doesn't answer fr my question. I konow how to make new projectile but i don't know how to connect "standard" projectiles with fiery projectiles.
In other words I'm looking for a way to activate the button, integrating the flaming arrows.

fiery

Add this line under "Accuracy" to make the projectile fiery.

precisely the point is that I have this line in every of my new projectiles.

Hi,

I'm dealing with the same problem..I'll let you know in the next few days if I have some sort of solution..

there is nothing else to do than to look forward

So here is the thing.. I needed a new arrow projectile for an archer unit who supposed to be better, more accurate, has higher damage etc...I called my new projectile firbolg_arrow

so I made a copy of the original arrow projectile in descr_projectile.txt
and I also added its fiery version..(also based on original fiery arrow). Take a look at this code..I highlighted the solution for you..modify your first line in the fiery version, add your original(non flaming) projectile's name after the line "flaming" in the fiery version. I hope this helps.

(Actually I found this a nice trick to not having the option for an archer to shot flaming arrow..The firbolg Archers in my mod aren't suppose to shot fiery arrows anyway..)

[attyla]

I did not think of it
Many thanks for help!
