Is there a way to extend the default time ( 120 seconds ) for artillary calls to 240 seconds ?

Below is the default code found in the Objects.rfa.

ObjectTemplate.create Projectile BinocularsProjectile
ObjectTemplate.networkableInfo SpyProjectileInfo
ObjectTemplate.timeToLive CRD_NONE/120/0/0
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.gravityModifier 0.0
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionEffect 0
ObjectTemplate.damageType 3

ObjectTemplate.create Projectile BinocularsProjectile2
rem ObjectTemplate.networkableInfo SpyProjectileInfo
ObjectTemplate.timeToLive CRD_NONE/120/0/0
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.gravityModifier 0.0
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionEffect 0


I tried the following code for the SSM but it did not change anything.

ObjectTemplate.Active BinocularsProjectile
ObjectTemplate.timeToLive CRD_NONE/240/0/0

ObjectTemplate.Active BinocularsProjectile2
ObjectTemplate.timeToLive CRD_NONE/240/0/0

Has anyone ever tried extending the time for this ?

Please reply with your thoughts or theories on this.
Thank you.

I've never messed with it, although I just realized that SpyProjectile might have some uses....

I will toy around with it a bit, I have noticed that certain maps handle mods a little diferently....Example....I put a nitro lada that drops scuds on two maps (Alamien and stallingrad), on the el_alamein maps the lada takes no damage from the scud but in stallingrad it's a fast suicide and i used the exact same code on both.

Keep me informed if you find a solution and i will do the same.

spy projectile is an interesting issue in it's self.....call artillery from another weapon?

Can't really see a good use for it but it sure would make someone go hmmmmmm...why did i call for arty?...lol

lots of servers have alrede started using spyprojectile, making the binocs have like a sniper shot. i kno DRX has done this so far, the cool thing is it acctualy says Killer[Binoculars]Victim

I added a bomb to mine. Sometimes it says that the redflag kills enemies, sometimes the binoculars, it's nuts. If you want to make a sniper knifer feel bad, just keep clicking the call and the bomb resets its position until you die...then it falls and explodes.
