Weapon naming / firing system #5

Open megazear7 opened 11 years ago

megazear7 commented 11 years ago

With the current system for naming and firing weapons there is a flaw. Say a weapon is called missles. What if I want another diferent type of missle? Well we could call each one someing different. Say missleClassB and missleClassA2 ... But what if I just want to do something like: weapons fire missle. Also in descriptive text it shouldnt say, "Ship One hit Ship Two with missleClassB's". So I think weapons need a user friendly name, (such as missles instead of missleClassB's). Also I think that the weapons system needs to be smart enough to know that if a weapon is called a missleClassB and the user wants to fire his missles then it knows, And if the user has lots different missles then he needs to specify. Or somthing...

Update: this might not be much of a problem. Each ship has its own weapons, each with there own names so every ship has its own naming system. One thing that could be done is each weapon in the list of weapons for each ship could have a "detailed" name which defines its exact type that is unique across all ships.
