[QUESTION] Can you modify the range of stats that a weapon has?

[jasonthebadger]

As in DPS, overheat rate etc

 

In regards to random drops and equipment dock items. I'm looking at creating something that adds a bit more randomness to the stats, so you could have an insane laser, that uses an ungodly amount of power or overheats instantly.

 

Cheers guys!

data/scripts/lib/turretgenerator.lua contains the ingame generation for turrets and weapons.

The API has these "common Objects":

• Weapon
  
• TurretTamplate
  
• InventoryTurret
  

 

I made a small proof of concept mod myself a while ago:

OWP

Cheers man! Believe it or not, Your Mod is what made me want to create something like this! I wanted something naturally OP instead of stuff you have to spawn in.

if you modify the turretgenerator.lua it will affect all new weapons in the galaxy.

Having a look last night, I figured that out, Looks like what i want to modify is in Galaxy.lua. So tonight I'll have a play with it and see what i come back with.
