New Predator Armour

[aajs]

Erm.......

I made a new predator_2 armour and templated off the original predator armour. however I seem to be able to use grenades pistols and other non heavy armour....

Am I missing something here.

Do you mean "can't use them at all won't let me equip them" or "doesn't appear on GC?"

Could be a mod tools issue. Upload?

Thanks for you help kabill.

Before Ground combat in the soldier equipment screen. If you equip the predator you get a message when trying to equip pistols and small items etc. It basically tells you that this cannot be done. However if I equip my predator_2 armour I can equip pistols and armour without any issue (or message telling me I cant). However I need the armour to work the same as the original predator otherwise there will be a whole load of missing sprites.

My armours_GC looks like this:

<Armour MODMERGEATTRIBUTE="name" MODMERGE="insert" name="armour.predator_2">

<Resistance kinetic="70" energy="70" chemical="1000" incendiary="70" />

<VisualParams range="18" coneAngle="60" nightRangeBonus="0" />

<PsionicDefence defence="0" points="00" degradation="0" />

<Special heavy="1" strength="100" weaponCostMul="0.65" />

<Props moveSpeed="200" stairsMoveSpeed="120" vaultMoveSpeed="16" />

</Armour>

My armours.xml look like this:

<Armour MODMERGEATTRIBUTE="name" MODMERGE="insert" name="armour.predator_2">

<stockTextureName>armourimages/sentinel</stockTextureName>

<dragTextureName>armourimages/sentinel</dragTextureName>

<weight>16</weight>

<strengthBoost>0</strengthBoost>

<apBoost>0</apBoost>

<accuracyBoost>0</accuracyBoost>

<braveryBoost>0</braveryBoost>

<reflexesBoost>0</reflexesBoost>

<resilienceBoost>0</resilienceBoost>

<hidehands />

</Armour>

I was assuming the entry heavy="1" is the value I needed to show this was heavy armour and so you could only use Heavy weapons with it. However this does not seem to alter anything.

In armours.xml you need to add <biggunsonly />

You need:

<biggunsonly />

In the armour.xml entry.

Just to clarify, I think heavy="1" makes the soldier able to destroy some props just by moving through them.
