Trebuchet

v1.4.8

The siege trebuchet a crew loads and fires. Scenes place a TrebuchetSpawner, which spawns this prefab.

Find placed ones with s:Trebuchet. See Filter.

Where you put it

The body entity inside trebuchet_a carries the script. Children are tagged body, sling, rope, vertical_adjuster, and rotate_entity. The shot bone is bn_projectile_holder.

What you set

trebuchet_a stores this order. MultipleProjectileCount is a panel field that body does not write. The same body also stores AIAmmoLoadTag, TimeGapBetweenShootActionAndProjectileLeaving, VisualizeReleaseTrajectoryAngle, and ForcedUse. Those four are not panel fields.
