Chaotic Dreams

Hello there!
Is there any way to increase the turrets starting Health ?

The reason why I ask is that turrets in both UT2004 and UT99 are very easy and quick to destroy which is kinda sad, as it is easier to destroy the turret than making him empty and take control over him.
I really like the function you can take over turrets, but that's not worth it if your enemy can snipe him down with 5 shots .

These are the only settings you can change in the menu or ChaosUT.ini . Is there any other hidden file you can change the health of turret, for example 5000 instead of 500?
TurretStartingEnergyAmmo=100
TurretMaxEnergyAmmo=200
TurretStartingRocketAmmo=50
TurretMaxRocketAmmo=100
MaxTurrets=4

Thanks in advance !

I have had a look at the UT2004 mod and can't find a way yet. I will have a look at the UT99 mod later.

Really the idea is you look after your turrets. It is up to the players to repair them and reload more ammo.

Hi.

A lot of time has passed and after playing some ChaosUT (UT99) I have come back to this topic

No, there is unfortunately no way to give your turret health or repair. Only "Energy" which is his first type of ammo as well as Rockets (ammo).
Or am I wrong?

As stated above it's kinda difficult and time consuming to spawn the turret in a good position, but it's so ungrateful if it can be destroyed within 5-10 seconds with any weapon. That is why increasing its base Health is such an important change for me and I would love to get some support here on how to realize it.
Its Health is probably assigned somewhere in the ChaosUT.u file. But how to modify that?

Thanks in advance

Modding: Look into UnrealScript, the scripting language used in Unreal Engine games like UT2004. You may be able to create a mod or mutator that adjusts the health of turrets. This would involve creating custom code to override the default behavior of the turret entity.

Console Commands: While there isn't a direct console command to adjust turret health in vanilla UT2004, you could potentially experiment with console commands related to entity properties or health values. Keep in mind that this would likely require a good understanding of UnrealScript and game mechanics.

Third-Party Mods: Search for existing mods or mutators created by the UT2004 community. There may already be mods available that adjust turret health or provide other enhancements to gameplay. Be sure to read the documentation and instructions provided with any mods you download and install.
