Weapon Change?

from Sins Forums
Hello,

I`m very new to modding and have tried to give the Tech heavy cruiser the weapon of the advent long range frigate. But ingame, the Kodiak still uses his Autocannons ... so I`d like to ask the "veterans" out there, how to do it.

(P.S.: If there are some grammar mistakes please excuse me, English is not my first language)

hmm its not letting me edit, so here:

That is the attack system of the Kodiak, and here is the Advent illuminator

That ought to do it.. You may want to play around with it a bit, but I think that'll work...also don't forget to change number of weapons from 1 to 2. Happy Coding!!  :CONGRAT:
