Dear Modder,

Good day!

I replaced the ability of M21 mortar in ebps as below:

Original ability: "abilities\aef\modal_ability\artillery\mortar_barrage_ability\m21_heavy_he_short_delay_mortar_barrage_mp"

New ability:
"abilities\soviet\modal_ability\mortar_fire_flares_ability_120mm_mp"

I want to get the fire flares effect, but I found the M21 mortar is fire these two abilities in the same time, but I just want the mortar_fire_flares_ability only, pls advise how to fix?



Best regards.
Ben

Clone this weapon with a different name:
weapon\soviet\explosive_weapons\mortar\pm41_82mm_mortar_flare_mp
Then add it to the M21 entity in a new hardpoint.

Then clone this ability with a different name:
abilities\soviet\modal_ability\mortar_fire_flares_ability_mp
Somewhere in its action_list/start_target_actions, there is an artillery_attack. Change its hardpoint to the one where you put the flare weapon on the M21 entity. Then add the ability to the M21 entity.

I didn't test this solution, so let me know if it works.

When working with mortar and artillery barrage abilities, it's important to pay attention to the hardpoints they use. Most units have several hardpoints and each one has a different weapon!
