Types/AmmoType

Basics

Definition of actual parameters used in attack.

Mandatory properties

category

Type: Types/string

Name of a Prototype/AmmoCategory. Defines whether the attack will be affected by upgrades.

Optional properties

action

Type: Types/Trigger

Describes actions taken upon attack happening.

clamp_position

Type: Types/bool

Default: false

When true, the gun will be able to shoot even when the target is out of range. Only applies when target_type is position. The gun will fire at the maximum range in the direction of the target position. Defaults to false.

energy_consumption

Type: Types/Energy

Energy consumption of a single shot, if applicable.

range_modifier

Type: Types/double

Default: 1

Affects the range value of the shooting gun prototype's Types/BaseAttackParameters to give a modified maximum range. The min_range value of the gun is unaffected.

This has no effect on artillery turrets and wagons even though the bonus appears in the GUI.[1]

cooldown_modifier

Type: Types/double

Default: 1

consumption_modifier

Type: Types/float

Default: 1

target_type

Type: Types/string

Default: "entity"

Either "entity", "position" or "direction". If this is "entity", clamp_position is forced to be false. "entity" fires at an entity, "position" fires directly at a position, "direction" fires in a direction.
