Missile modding questions

[Nerfix]

Is it possible to create a "Fire" version of a custom missile weapon that activates when Flame Arrows is cast?

Is it possible to create a missile weapon which range is Str x 2?

1st - I don't know. I know that there are Fire Sling, Fire Shortbow, Fire Longbow etc, and I suspect that these are linked to the Flaming Arrows spell... but I don't know.

2) Not to my knowledge. I'm not even sure if it is possible to create a new missile weapons with range of Str.

1 & 2: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Saddness. I would have so liked to make slings that scale with the strenght of the wielder.

I am also planning on doing slings that scale with the strength of the wielder. However, I'm scaling the damage, not the range. I want to replace Jotun Throwers with Jotun Slingers in the LA, and range 40 would be quite insane, wouldn't it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

It's possible to make a sling with damage -2 and str added to damage. For 10-str human, that's dam 8. Slings currently have dam 7 #nostr IIRC, so it'd be a bit better. However, I can't #clear the existing sling, so I'd have to change all existing slingers if I wanted them to use the new sling, and thus I'm not releasing it yet.

Yeah, but these ones would be toted by EA expert slingers. Who are humans.

[Endoperez]

EA expert slingers should have better than 22, 24 range. I'll try to post more spesific info later, but www.slinging.org (http://www.slinging.org) is pretty nice page for pro-sling info.
