Flag: WeaponCount

Values: unsigned integers, (0 to 18)
Default: uninitialized (see below)
Applicable to: VehicleTypes, BuildingTypes


Specifies the amount of weapons this object has. Used for special weapon systems, for example, turret-changers (Gunner=yes), charge turrets (IsChargeTurret=yes), or gattling logic (IsGattling=yes).

In those cases, the game parses weapons specified by (Elite)Weapon%d= , where %d represents the number between 1 and WeaponCount, as opposed to (Elite)Primary/Secondary it loads normally. Then, (Elite)Weapon1 is used as the default weapon instead of Primary.

Values larger than 18 are not allowed and will corrupt memory.

The game does not initialize this to a constant value. If this tag is not defined, random garbage in memory is used as weapon count, which can lead to desyncs, crashes during loading time, or -- in the worst case -- appear to be working. If TurretCount is greater than 0, set this value, too.
