Hi,
So suppose that there are 8 slots per unit, then what will happen if a unit will chose to fire upon another unit?
Will this unit be able to fire at the same turn (multiple times) FAL, MAG, Uzi, Carl Gustaf, Pistol, Hand Grenades and M-72 LAW shots (if the player wishes such a thing) ?
I don't think so... because this would override the logical amount of time need for all these actions (in the time frame of one turn)
So, in order to avoid such an event (having a squad firing every available weapon during the limited amount of one turn), it will be required that the squad's weapon availability should be limited only to certain weapons from all the available ones (a soldier can't be firing with a LAW on one hand and with an Uzi on the other hand)...
This also means that additional code must be created for something that will have a very small impact in the gameplay.
cheers,
Pyros
