Addon/script flame thrower
« on: 21 Jan 2005, 23:27:16 »
OK, this is an idea I had that is a weapon and a script put into one. (cos I couldn't think how else it could work  ;) )

I'm not sure if they use them any more, but it would be good to have a modern day (or not too long ago) flame thrower. BUT (this is where the script comes in), to make it a real good weapon, you could make it so when you fire the weapon at a certain building (selected in the editor), the building explodes into flames, killing everyone inside, but not the player outside.
 It would need a good fire script as well, but it could make clearing out bunkers alot easier and funner etc.

I think the last time flame throwers were used in war was vietnam, but i'm not sure. So far, in OFP, the only flame throwers i've seen are WW2 ones, that only kill people 1 metre away from you.  ;)

I kinda solved this problem with a old flamethrower addon. Its not that good, but i'm trying to make it so when you fire the flamer within 20 metres of the bunker, a satchel charge goes off inside the building and a fire script activates  ;)

Yeah, it would have to work against people. But the one I have works (with the script) against people. It makes them run around abit burning. ;)

What I originally had in mind was, erm.... well, like camera footage from WW2 in the pacific, where you have a guy with a flame thrower, and he shoots a quick burst into a bunker, and it (the bunker, not the flame thrower) explodes and then theres a big fire inside. But kinda modern day type.

Heres some pics:
