1. Duplicated the Longbolt Missile weapon along with its actor and 3 effects 2. Duplicated the unit 'Weapon - Longbolt Missile' and its actor 3. Set the new unit to the duplicated weapon 4. Changed it so 3 missiles fire instead of 2 5. Changed the Mover of the unit to 'Drunken Missile' 6. Changed the damage and attack speed
Here's the result:
As you may be able to see, the missiles do damage as they hit the turret, but the (non-damaging) explosive effects happen right as the missiles are fired, instead of when the missiles make impact.
Haven't got a working data editor atm but I'll try remember what to do:
Search the actors for the one named something like Longbolt Missile Impact. Make sure that the weapon or unit is linked to that, and that the Longbolt Missle Impact actor is set so it explodes when the weapon finishes firing, or whatever.
Could be talking out of my behind as I can't check it with a data editor

Can't find any actor with the word impact in it relating to the weapon. :\ Get your data editor working so you can help me. D:
Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen

Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
