Problem with weapon !!

[MissKerrigan]

Hello,

I got the next PROBLEM:

I gave the sensor tower the disruption beam and set the 'arc' of the weapon to 360
For SOME REASON the computer automatically sets it back to 0 everytime !!

Does someone knows what's going on here?
It really drives me crazy

I think it got bugged in the latest patch. Try entering something like "358" instead.

I agree with Siretu that it was bugged in the latest patch. However you can still set it to 360 by turning on the view mode Raw Data and then setting it to 360, then turning Raw Data off.

what's raw data? and how I get there?

Click this button:

Then you will be able to modify the raw data. This will also mean that if you modify it to something wrong, it wont be able to change the data.
(when you are unexpirienced I'd suggest you to save your map before editing anything in XML View).
When you are done, you just change back to your prefered view version.

 

[Dave312]

I actually meant Raw Data, not XML but XML should work anyway. To change the view to raw data, go View -> Raw Data

oh, yeah - that seems to be a bit more comfortable.

 

[MissKerrigan]

it this like a 'script'?

 

[X-maul]

Uhm, well the XML View is how it actually looks, When you view it as you usually does, with the different fields, it's actually the editor that displays it for you in a easier way for you to read and modify.
The RAW data is also a version that is closer to how it actually looks, but it is still sorted in fields. Which makes it easier to modify.

 

[MissKerrigan]

But if I modify the 'raw data', doesn't the computer moves it back also then to 0?

 

[Dave312]

Nope. Raw Data also turns off the data validation so you can type in values that you normally wouldn't be able to.

 

[MissKerrigan]

Ok there is nothing in the raw data exept the weapons 'range' 'period' and 'legecy'....

 

[Dave312]

The Raw Data name for the Arc property is Stats: CWeapon_Arc

 

[MissKerrigan]

<CWeaponLegacy id="DisruptionBeam">
<EditorCategories value="Racerotoss"/>
<Icon value="Assets\Textures\btn-upgrade-protoss-groundweaponslevel0.dds"/>
<DisplayEffect value="DisruptionBeamDamage"/>
<TargetFilters value="Visible;Missile,Stasis,Dead,Hidden,Invulnerable"/>
<Period value="1"/>
<LegacyOptions index="CanRetargetWhileChanneling" value="1"/>
</CWeaponLegacy>


nothing about 'arc' I can change

 

[Dave312]

Use the Raw Data view (Ctrl + D) rather than XML because XML will nly show you values that you have edited.

So all you need to do is select your weapon in the object list, press Ctrl + D (to turn on the Raw Data View), then find the Stats: CWeapon_Arc and set it to 360. Then press Ctrl + D again to turn off Raw Data View.
