 Although definition files contain settings and values of entities, they can't change the ''behaviour'' of entities. For this, you need to edit script files; all weapons, vehicles, items and projectiles are defined with script files. Script files present a 'high-level' way to access the mechanics of the game, and can be modified while the game is running.
