Weapon Help.

Ok, I am working on a shield recharge weapon, but for somereason it does nothing when I click fire.  I think I'm missing something in the ship file, but I will try this first.

Here are the lines.

Weapon:

ordname = "fed_shield_rechargeo"
wpnname = "Shield Recharge"
tooltip = "Shield Recharge"
verbosetooltip = "AUTOTOOLTIP-rom_shield_recharge.odf"
buttonslot = 80
special = 1
firesound = "romulan_shield_recharge.wav"
beneficial = 1
targetalliedcraft = 1
targetalliedbuildings = 1
targetenemycraft = 0
targetenemybuildings = 0
showweaponradius = 1
classlabel = "toggleweapon"
shotdelay = 0
needtarget = 1
switchtoattack = 0
speakonattack = 0
attackspeech = 0
range = 1000


Ord:
classlabel = "esconverter"
specialvalue = 100
lifespan = 50.0
shotspeed = 100
sprite = "wshieldrecharge"
radius = 20.0
ignoreshield = 0
spriteduration = 1.0


What am I missing, and what could I be missing in the ship odf?

Did you copy the Descent's weapon and modify it?

Nope, look at the tooltips, it is the romulan one, off the support Generix.  Does that make a difference?

Anyone?  I still need help.  It still isn't working.  Can anyone tell me what lines lines I need to get the ship to fire this?

Does the ship have Special Energy?

yep.  Is there anything else needed to make it work?  I did what I usually do for making weapons, but I can't get it to work.

As far as I know, all it needs is; enough special energy, being in range and using a hardpoint that is actually on the ship.

If you have all them, then I don't know what could be wrong.

hmm, I will check the hardpoint, that may be the problem.  It is set to root, but maybe that won'r work with this ship.
