when shots fired

[Killzone]

Hi

I am wondering if there is a way to trigger an action when shots are fired?

I am using the new animations by flashpointgamer and I have enemys in a guard position. I want the animations turned off (which I know how to do) when a shot is fired (which I dont know how to do).

Is this possible?

Hunt around the Editors Depot and forums for information on eventHandlers, there is lots.   You need the "fired" one.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I could not search because I didn't know what to look for.

Thanks ;D

Search for "event handler". An eventhandler basically executes a bit of code or a script, whenever the event happens. So if you attach a fired EH to a unit, it will execute some code whenever that unit fires.

However, a simpler way to do it would involve a "detected" trigger. A little knows secret is that those triggers will go off when enough shots (that are loud enough) are fired by someone on the side to be detected. I believe it takes like 3 shots from an m16 to make it go off.
