Weapon Teams on Walls (Updated for T&T)

Description
Fix for weapon teams not shooting properly for skaven walls provided by Pierce, check out his better sieges mod which does more to help improve warhammer sieges: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353617634

Don't like having your Warplock Jezzails hanging back during sieges? Ever wanted to rain down a hail of bullets from up on high? Well now you can! Every weapon team can now climb onto walls, use siege equipment and climb ladders. Now your opponents will think twice before storming your cities.

Affected Units:
Skaven:

--Warpfire Throwers (+RoR)

--Warplock Jezzails (+RoR)

--Ratling Guns (+RoR)

--Poison Wind Mortars (+RoR)

Vampire Coast:

--Deck Gunners (+RoR)

Note: Because of engine limitations, weapon teams lack animations for climbing up ladders. Also effectiveness of units on walls varies as some units (mainly warpfires/ratling guns) have issues firing over/through each other. Try spreading the unit out into rows of two; also the unit is more likely to shoot targets in the center of their firing arc rather then hit units at the edges of it.

Note 2: Mod should be save game compatible. Should also be compatible with any mods that doesn't overwrite changes made in "battle_entities_tables".

Note 3: Warp Grinders can't be made to be placed on walls either wise they will lose their ability to attack walls.

Note 13: Can't make artillery placeable on walls with the same trick for weapon teams, the only way around this is in custom maps like GCCM that house big enough walls that the artillery can walk up a rampart or if there are artillery slots added to walls like in say rome 2 or atilla.

Will you be updating this to WH3?

Ah shit uh steam is stupid and unsubscribed my from my mods at some point so I wasn't getting notifications for them. I can update the mod now that the last wh2 update came out to give people peace of mind.

For units falling off, this problem seems to occur on some maps when trying to move them to shoot at the inner city, this wouldn't be possible to fix as the collision for wh2 walls wasn't optimized for weapon teams. Hopefully this will be fine in warhammer 3 as it looks like weapon teams will default be placeable on walls.

Also until warhammer 3 comes out should look at Pierce's Better Siege mod for improving wh2 bad sieges and that mod is sort of a successor to this one.

Guys read the description. If you use Pierce's Better Siege then you don't need this mod.
It's most likely he's passed this mod onto Pierce
