basic shrapnel script

[penguinman]

could sombody make a script where one can just specify an object and activate a script and the script will shoot like 100 pistol bullets in all different directions simulating shrapnel.

and if the editor wants he can just use a trigger or GL to specify the position like a mine or he could use a get Fired EH and then create a shapnel thing in the spot where the round stopped as in an airbust artillary or a frg grenade.

i dont need or want any explosion, just the pistol bullets.

can sombody do that?

thanks in advance.

One thing I did when making my shrapnel script for claymores and VT Airburst Arty, was make a config for a new bullet class specially for shrapnel.

I made the indirect hit value high enough to be lethal, and gave it a indirect hit range of about 5m. This saved A LOT of cpu cycles, as I did not have to create a huge loop of camcreated bullets to make it effective.

I also added drop effects to enhance the bullet impact and create the illusion of more impacts than are actually occuring. In short, it is a less cpu intensive alternative.

Since my Great Crash of 2004, I have lost that tiny little .pbo but I need to redo it anyway, so if you are interested...

ok, well, ive done some experimenting and, ive found out that the scipt only makes shrapnel to the sides, not above and below.
