Helicopters

by kumpu

Adds a fully animated attack helicopter to the game. Ideal for getting from A to B quickly, exploring the map, building islands and nuking biters from the sky. Now 84% less buggier!

g Damage Modifying

At first thanks for that Awesome Mod.

Now my Question: Do i have an Option to push up the damage for that Machinegun a bit? What is the file that sets the Damage value? For my Playstyle i want a bit more Punch.

I have added the code necessary to do what you want. Here is working code you can use to modify the damage modifier to your hearts content.

https://github.com/blueh0000ff/factorio-helicopters

Simply go into the prototypes/items/heli_gun.lua and change damage_modifier to whatever you wish.

I added heli_gun.lua, added it to the requires in data.lua, then changed the guns parameter in the heli-entity in prototypes/entities/heli_entity.lua from tank-machine-gun to heli-gun, and added the english locale.

And whether you can make an opportunity to regulate the speed, acceleration and force of braking?)

All you need to do is edit prototypes/entities/heli_entity.lua, lines 113,114,117

consumption = "3.2MW",
braking_power = "1MW",
weight = 2800;

consumption will modify engine power by increasing or decreasing speed based on fuel usage.
braking_power will modify engine braking power by increasing or decreasing fuel usage.
weight will modify how much the engine has to move, increasing or decreasing both braking and speed equally.

I will try to see about adding settings in game for these features, so editing the files is not required.

It doesn't look like you can modify entities at runtime, so in-game settings for this is not possible :(

I just learned about startup settings, which allow you to modify entity values... I will see about adding these.

Ok, I have added the settings into the mod! Now you can go into Main Menu > Settings > Mod settings and change these values.

Enjoy
