The '''WeaponDefs[]''' table holds all information about the weapons used in a game.

Works the same way as [[Lua_UnitDefs]] except the tables are called '''WeaponDefs[]''' and '''WeaponDefNames[]'''

Note: Its entries are metatables, so you can't use the pairs() iterator on them, use this instead:
<pre>
for id,weaponDef in pairs(WeaponDefs) do
for name,param in weaponDef:pairs() do
Spring.Echo(name,param)
end
end
</pre>

==Naming==
If a unit named "tank" has a weapon named "gun", the resulting <code>name</code> will be "tank_gun" and you can get this weaponDefID like:

<code>local gunID = WeaponDefNames["tank_gun"].id</code>

==Example==
For a more detailed overview of tag definitions look at
[[Gamedev:WeaponDefs]] or look directly at the source at
https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/5f08624585852b8c8dfd1a16d020ae530269dc09/rts/Sim/Weapons/WeaponLoader.cpp

In key = value format, where WeaponDefs[weaponDefID].key==value, with subtables at the end.
