I've got items with Carry Weapons, and I want to be able to have two of the same items granting the same weapon twice. This does not seem ot be possible with Weapons, so I decided to go for a behavior with a periodic search effect. The thing is, I want it to fire the same way as a weapon: Attack when an enemy gets within range, and then go on cooldown. Not search every 1 sec and attack if there's an enemy nearby.

How would I create a behavior which would search for enemies within range, find a target and attach, and go on cooldown for 1 sec?

Why not just reduce the timer from 1 second to every .06 seconds? That time is so small its indistinguishable from just coming into range and then firing like you described.

How would I make it go on cooldown when finding a target?

You could have a behavior hooked up to the weapon that disables itself for the duration of your desired cooldown

The reason I'm using a behavior, is that weapons does not stack - so that won't work.

I did consider making the attack effect of the behavior grant the caster a buff which deactivates the main behavior, but that would make it unstackable.

So I would have to have 6 different weapons for each weapon if it's possible to have 6 at a time?

And just to make sure, it would not be possible to have each stack of a behavior go on a "cooldown" when it launches an effect with a periodic search effect?
