Klingon Disruptor Beam/Pulse

[lint]

i was just wonder if its possible for someone to be able to create a script for the vorcha im doing that enables the switch for the front disruptor near the bridge to switch between a beam and pulse?
Cause we have seen both fired from that position,
Is this even possible?

Theoreticly, yes, though I haven't tried it. I'm not even sure if we can manipulate hardpoints on the fly (other than attribute changes).

I do believe someone made a script for a Galaxy to "switch" between the deflector and a phaser. But I suspect that was a rather specialized script, and fired from a button instead of actually switching.

yep, just putting both in the same place and changing values might work

for example, switching between 0 and full charge and recharge rate as you click the button, say, when you're in phaser mode, the cannon stays discharged and doesn't recharge. when you switch to cannon, discharge the phaser and set the recharge rate to 0.
even the icons will change with the weapon.

I tried to make HP changes in-game, but it seems very hard, if not impossible.

didnt LC do that for his warbird?  tho it has been a while since i played, i seem to recall a beam and a pulse coming from the same spot (or maybe it was a torp?)?  i could be mistaken tho...  it's a very vague feeling i have...

indeed, looks like a torpedo.
but it doesn't matter. a torpedo tube can call a disruptor script

so lint, you have to ways:

1) use a phaser and a torpedo tube at the same spot, and invert pulse and torpedo systems.

2) put a phaser and a cannon and use the toggling script I said
