*can’t even pretend to understand….* but Good Work! Hope your revamped code makes the gameplay better for all involved.

Yeah, that’s what the ‘%Instance Name’ syntax is going to be for. It has to be placed before all the other properties, and will make the object you’re defining get all the values of the Instance Name object previously defined.

Then the additional properties set will override the ones copied from the referred to object.

So, in your example, it could look something like:

HDFirearm = My New Gun
   %My Old Gun
   AmmoSprite = ContentFile
       Path = IkkoPack.rte/NewGunAmmo.bmp

and that would be everything necessary to define this modified gun called My New Gun, which is exactly like the other weapon called My Old Gun, except it’s got a differnt ammo sprite.

I’m still working on the details as I go along.

Will this support any form of inheratance? For instance could we create a new pistol type and set it to use the standard pistol art and object, but shoot a different type of ammo?

It’ll make the game content easier to make and to mod, for you! Wanna change the weapons or the way the vehicles and guys work, down to the smallest detail? Just find the corresponding Weapons.ini or Actors.ini, open it up in notepad and the rest should be pretty self-explanatory!

…

Ah. Yes. Of course. *pretends to understand*

So this will make the game easier to code? It looks neater, therefore it must be better!

Yes.
