Crew-served weapons

(==Troy==) #1

As it was asked in this thread in map-editing

http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16363

The idea is to put a fully-controllable weapon in the way as crew-served MG42 is done. So that you can have mortar, which can be used by anyone, who press F on it and he will see the angle grids, the pin-point of his shot on map and get some kills. We (mappers :slight_smile: ) found that it is not possible to implement that with the Radiant abilities. And I would like to ask you (modders) for some help here please :slight_smile: How to do that, is it possible, what will it require, will it support other mods and etc.

I am pretty sure that many people will be happy to use such features in their maps…

So general question is to make an ability to place a model of the gun, set the damage, type of fire (projectile, round, fire) and launch speed and angles and finally way to show the gun (standart, mortar).

Thank you in advance for any answer :slight_smile:

Our mod is working on something like that.
but just not with a mortar :wink:

We will use a flakgun.

But I guess the same code can be used for any other model!

The idea is to create a universal model, so that the mapper will be able to choose the weapon, adjust it, and even use non-standart models :slight_smile: Well, ideally. Still many thanks for info! Cant wait to try it out.

They don’t target players, rather they fire in the direction of a specified trigger. Make that trigger small enough and not too far away from the shooter and you will hit the player activating the trigger.

Oy, I believe it was going to be in W:TF first? :stuck_out_tongue:
