Bug Sword-/Spearalphas affected by damage tech ANSWERED

[kingofgalaxies]

What is definitely a bug tho: Energy swordalphas and spearalphas do physical damage but are still affected by energy weapons techs.

Not a bug, they ignore armor so it doesn't matter what damage they do (from the technical standpoint it says they do physical damage, I can't change that). Their swords and spears are, however, energy weapons and they should be affected by the techs (they have the "energy" category too).

you can set them to be energy type by setting to "ranged" type of attack if that you wanted.

[Midonik]

But wont that mess up their sprites? Now they use the default bump-into-enemy, since they are melee

[Stratego (dev)]

not sure, but if they do you can try using this specaction too: ATTACK_NOT_RANGED

[Midonik]

Ok this works
