Artemis IV help needed

[TheHeathen]

I created a Artemis IV FCS using CustomActivatableEquipment. Right now when activated it just applies a +4 to accuracy for all missiles. Does anyone know what tags I need to restrict it to LRMs/SRMs and direct fire to be in line with TT rules? Here is the relevant section:

"statisticData" : {
"appliesEachTick" : false,
"effectsPersistAfterDestruction" : false,
"statName" : "AccuracyModifier",
"operation" : "Float_Add",
"modValue" : "-4.0",
"modType" : "System.Single",
"additionalRules" : "NotSet",
"targetCollection" : "Weapon",
"targetWeaponCategory" : "Missile",
"targetWeaponType" : "NotSet",
"targetAmmoCategory" : "NotSet",
"targetWeaponSubType" : "NotSet"
},

i have no idea other then suggesting that there are mods on Nexus that have Artemis systems and see how they did it.

why are you using CAE for that? CAE is for M.A.C.Ss, TSM, superchargers, EMC and so on activatables. It is not possible to restrict indirect fire via statistic data, cause it is not a statistic parameter.

@KMiSSioN Cause I am having fun? Actually, I think I have been able to do it. It seemed to have worked in my tests., but I just finished it last night and more needs to be tested.

I did a search off all stat names and found "ToHitIndirectModifier" and a first glance it appears to be working.

 

[KMiSSioN]

ToHitIndirectModifier - applies to whole unit. I mean, if you read CustomAmmoCategories readme carefully you will get knowledge how to make Artemis IV FCS right.

 

[TheHeathen]

Thanks for the insight. Would I add "IndirectFireCapable" : false to a certain section?
