Q: About energy weapons and possible mod.

[Wanderer]

ok heres the question. i have had fallout 2 for ever.. lol.. but i NEVER figured out if energy weapons use JUST the energy weapons skill or a combination hence a plasma pistol uses energy and small arms.. and the laser gatling uses energy and big guns.

so even if they both just use teh energy weapons skill, i myself dont like that. and heres where the mod question comes in, is there anyway i can mod it so they use thier respective small/big and energy weapons? or is it pretty much hardcoded?

if they already use combined skills then thanks for the information.

As far as I can recall you can not do it. When creating a new proto for a weapon you can only choose if it's a big gun or not (if the weapon fires a bullet of some kind), so i think the other options are hardcoded. Probably the engine choice is based on the damage tipe, among other things. Sorry...

Jarno:

He was asking whether there is a way to make a weapon rely on more than only one skill.
