Cortex and Armada Commanders have different fire rate

Only surface laser affected. Underwater laser is ok.

armcom is lus, therefore better

[Beherith]

Enable the UnitCallins widget and see if they are dealing identical damage to each other :)

[Beherith]

In fact, do a /luarules unitcallinsgadget to see both at the same time

One try: g:UnitDamaged, 5742, corcom, 0, 18.8300343, false g:UnitDamaged, 5645, armcom, 1, 18.5227242, false

Second try:

g:UnitDamaged, 7119, corcom, 0, 12.9534845, false g:UnitDamaged, 7562, armcom, 1, 12.710968, false

Description updated with new info

My observations:

Cortex commander has an observed fire rate of once per 15 frames, despite the reload time being 0.4, 12 frames. Armada commander has an observed fire rate of alternating between 12 frames and 13 frames, closer matching the reload time being 0.4.

cortex commander is using script = "Units/CORCOM.cob", armada commander is using script = "Units/ARMCOM_lus.lua",

The wait-for-turn in the CORCOM.cob is imposing a minimum 3 frame delay before firing. wait-for-turn equivalent in the lua script only has a 1 frame delay. AimPrimary is called, 3 frames to aim, fire, wait 12 frame for reload, but as soon as it it ready to fire again, AimPrimary is called again because 15 frames has passed, causing the 3 frame wait-for-turn delay again, creating the observed 15 frame, 0.5 second fire rate. (reaim time is actually 5 for both commanders, so AimPrimary is being called every 5 frames)

@Zecrus2 @TheSilverHornet I remember hornet saying that he had worked on this issue before. Has it been resolved? Last I heard about it was I think 6 months ago
