PrismSupportBeam
The PrismSupportLogic gives a specific defense structure the ability to bundle firepower with another specific structure type.
PrismSupportLogic currently supports only one building e.g. you cannot have ATESLA, TESLA.
The supporting structure type is defined in PrismType.
When attacking, search for up to [General]→PrismSupportMax= structures of the same type within a radius equal to the secondary weapon's Range=. At intervals of [General]→PrismSupportDelay=, render laser beams equivalent to the effect of [Weapon]→IsHouseColor=yes and [Weapon]→LaserThickness=3 towards the coordinates of building's PrimaryFireFLH= for a duration of [General]→PrismSupportDuration= frames.
Each supporting structure increases the final damage by the value of the main weapon's Damage= multiplied by [General]→PrismSupportModifier=.
- In summary, the maximum damage for a Prism Tower in the original game is
120 + 120 * 150% * 8 = 1560
points.
Notes
In Ares, the primary weapon's Range is used as the default radius when no support weapon is specified.
