Weapon Definition

The Weapon Definition is used to create a standard set of properties which apply to a Weapon. These include number and rate of bullets to fire, bullet patterns and ammo clip setup.

The Weapon Definition list is displayed when you select Weapon Definition on the Define Menu in the Level Editor.

Select a definition to edit it or select Create New to create a new one. You can also Copy or Delete an existing definition.
