Sir @Lafiel has addressed the weapon mode switching puzzle in latest ABH mod.
Tractor Beam
Offers option to pull or push a target. Menu's not quite perfect. Pushing may require you to manually assign a target. There's a small tractor beam for small ships. Also note ship mass plays a role. A light ship can't push a heavier away, it's pushed instead.
How ABH tractor beam works?
Two logical weapons and additional fire mode switch are defined
- Weapon 1: Tractor beam mode. FireModeToggle property is assigned to vanilla fire mode switch.
- Weapon 2: Repulsor beam mode. FireModeToggle property is associated with new fire mode switch.
Not perfect? It works!
Until we learn to associate multiple logical weapons to a single fire mode switch.
Has anyone figured an alternative?
Go get latest ABH mod.
ABH tractor beam is way, way more powerful.
