I cranked <breachchance> on the Archon's beam all the way up to 10, which should be a guarenteed breach. Not once did it puncture the hull. Might be a game glitch or it might be a particular property hardcoded to the hull-beam only, but it didn't seem to have any effect on mine.Todes_Schnitzel wrote:Wait Beams can make Hull Breaches!!

, try it with 9 or 8 changeIt was originally 8. The point I'm making is, the number didn't make any difference, it's just not having an effect at all. I cannot cause a hull-breach with this beam, so it's being repurposed.Todes_Schnitzel wrote:mhh maybe , you shouldn't make 10
That's incredibly disappointing - both that beams can't breach, and that I didn't even notice until now! Can you think of any programmatic reason why that would be the case?Kieve wrote:Failure!
...In testing last night, it would seem that beams can't generate hull breaches. Which means I have to think of some other 'special purpose' for the Archon's primary weapon, to set it apart from the already diverse array of Hull, Fire, Anti-Bio, and the terrible Glaive. Ion is out because Ion Beams are just broken (/OP).
Maybe a system-disabling beam? Does no hull damage but can knock out systems and start fires like nobody's business... I really wanted to do a fire-beam variant anyway.
Open to suggestions here.
Try making a breach-beam yourself. If you can get it working let me know, my efforts have me with zero success.DCChuckles wrote:Maybe it goes 0 is high breach chance, 10 is never? Just a suggestion.
