machine gun fire

[456820]

how can i have it so its like running through 50cal fire or something but not hit the player just apear that the bullets are landing near him. a bit like an artillery script wich choses how far away from the player to hit but instead of firing heat rounds but fire like vulcan rounds?

Try the Normandy machine gun script in the ed depot, it makes any machine gun or unit ( I think) very inaccurate and shoots a whole lot but ususally doesn't hit anything unless you get a unlucky break or stand still to long.

Or you could camcreate some bullets and stuff. But I think just reg dispersion techniques will be quicker and faster.

cool i will try that but i remember seeing something that sed like "this addweapon vulcan ammo" something like that wich i thought i could add that to a civillian and this target gamelogic or something do u know what the vulcan ammo is called?

[bedges]

to equip a soldier with the vulcan, put this in the soldier's init line:

Code: [Select]

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "vulcancannon"; this addweapon "vulcancannon";
what to do about the inaccurate firing of it, i'm not so sure.

good luck anyways

Err, you could just use

MachineGun30A10

which is basically 4 shots of a helicopter's cannon in 1 burst.

 What are you talking about? With the civvi, a script or something?

BTW: The vulcan ammo would be from a big arse gun, I haven't seen too many infantrymen carrying 30mm cannons.

Plus the gun has a small area of effect so if a unit is close enough he'll get damaged when it looks like the bullets/shells are missing him. But try the script I suggested. It provided a nice MG randomness effect to my D-day look alike.

Edit: Oh yea vulcan ammo is like "Vulcan" or something. But it seems very similiar to the A10 cannon.

Edit2: ok disreguard my first edit, bedges has it. Sometimes they have captials too so.
