.DML Modding Help and Questions

[664983ad2603eAeris]

I am very new at .dml editing and creating, but I have 2 questions.

Question 1. How do I increase turret rotation speed, and is there a maximum speed, my attempts have been unproductive.

Property "AI: AI Core: Movement: turn rate"
{
   Turrets (-368): 900.00
} // 1 object(s)

I think the standard value is 90, but no matter what numbers I use, it seems either I have reached a limit of speed or I am doing it completely wrong.



Question 2.  Is there and easy way using .dml to either increase fire rate or damage.
My intention is to make turrets much more of a threat, to myself and to other creatures, after they have been hacked.

I have reloaded this mod from a long time ago.  I am not sure if I downloaded it or just copied and pasted information from other mods, but it is not functioning as intended.


Hope it is ok to post it all here:

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

To clarify I would just need help in creating a simple small .dml file to increase Turret Rotation Speed, Damage, or fire rate.

[664983ad262d1voodoo47]

example:

Code: [Select]

DML1

// AI->AI Core->Movement: turn rate
ObjProp "Turrets" "AI_TurnRate"
{
"" 45.00
}this is how a dml that will edit an existing prop on an archetype looks like.

Thank you for the quick reply and precise answer.
Much appreciated.

[664983ad26809voodoo47]

sure. also, there is a bunch of guides over here you know.

Thanks for your kindness and understanding.

My current medical condition has significantly lowered my ability to absorb and process information.
I tried using the tools to change a few things and have read the guides and seen some of the awesome tutorial videos, but that was more than 20 years ago and I honestly do not remember anything from so long ago.

Ack, sorry to ramble, just meant to say thanks for the assist.

[664983ad26cbevoodoo47]

we are known for many things over here - kindness is usually not among them, but sure.
