Another attempt at basic Prism forwarding.
Some previous tries have included looking at old generals code (Assisted Targeting), the Beam reflector ability and some basic LUA code 

( http://www.commandan...issues-part-ii/ ).

None of the above worked.

The goal is to get simple 1 step Prism forwarding (if one Prism tower is firing at a target, then any towers within a radius around the firing tower and who cannot reach the target themselves, will fire a support beam to boost the attacking towers weapon).

Is there any more ideas has to how this can be done? (it is 3 years later!)

Not sure if this would help (putting forward ideas in the dark) maybe you can check the code from the Patriot Missiles?

This is a good idea, but unfortunately the code is present but no longer works, so cannot be used.

looking at the venom helicopter coding may help.

I would work of the obelisk code....use the beamcannon weapon and obelisk power up function as a base for the link.

 

Try to get the link to work by triggering that powerup specialpower from a fireweaponupdate in each obelisk/prism tower. I would actually spawn a invisible drone or dummy positioned at a apropriate link bone and give that dummy/drone the fireweapon update(fireweapon modules can sometimes interfere with friing animations, hence using a dummy linked to the actuall tower..have a look at the PAC slave/master coding). Have the weapon use a targetobject nugget to target other obelisks/towers...and a specialweapon nugget that triggers the beamcannon charge defenses specialpower module.
