Probably a bug: defense not working

[Zoythrus]

ok, for my mod, im trying to make a defense that fires every 4 seconds (its to balance out it's one-hit-kill abilities). i tested this on the 1004 snapshot of GAE

the problem is, it's not firing correctly

before, i had the attack-speed = 10 and the attack-start-time = 0. it would fire about 10 times, then wait for a few seconds, then fire again (even if enemies were near)

now, the attack-speed = 100 and the attack-start-time is = 4, and now it wont fire at all.

i dont get it!

You can't have a start time over 1.

yeah, i realized that now. but even at 0, it was firing wrong...

Well, attack start time might not be the optimal choice. It's just the delay between attacks, but the anim and attack speed are what are mostly used (note: make sure they are both exactly the same value). You want it to fire every 4 seconds? Give it 4 EP, 1 EP Regeneration, and the attack will have a 4 EP cost.

not a bad idea....

EDIT: i just realized that it uses EP to transform into another mode (it will have 3 modes: infantry, tanks, and aircraft)

any other ideas?
