[Tutorial] How to create Dummys for practice!

(Cobbut) #1

Hey everyone,

I just made a little script that makes Dummy shooting a thing.

What this does, is spawn an unkillable dummy that you can shoot and practice with. You can also see your weapon spread on the top left. Oh, you also get unlimited Ammo Packs + a Grenade Launcher for fun.

This script is a file that contains commands, that the game will execute via console.

How to use it

Step 1: Download the file and paste it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dirty Bomb\Binaries
Step 2: Start your game and open the console (~) to go into any offline map you want. Example: “switchlevel obj_whitechapel”
Step 3: Position yourself where you want the dummy to be.
Step 4: Open the console again (~) and type: “exec dummyshooting.cfg”
Step 5: You’ll have an unkillable Dummy that you can practice on, while having unlimited Ammo!

Nothing too special, but I figured some people could make use of it.

Known Issues & Fixes

Problem: Dying breaks the script. Your controls get messed up and you move really slowly.
Fix: Run the script again (exec dummyshooting.cfg) or use “restartlevel”.

This is really awesome!!

Some notes:

Dying breaks the script. Your controls get messed up and you move really slowly. If you die (or want to change mercs), just run the script again. (Although it’ll add more spread counters each time)

Yeah, that’s a thing that is sadly unavoidable. It’s a bug with the game, so nothing I can fix.

(…) (Although it’ll add more spread counters each time)

This is also a thing I noticed. The game thinks that multiple players are on the server (that’s also why you have 4 Spread Displays, instead of 2). So everytime you run the script, the game will spawn “another player”, thus increasing the amount of displays. (The dummy’s spread display is always number “0” and the player’s spread display is number “2”.)

A way to fix this is to use “restartlevel” in the console. It will completly restart the match and get rid of the commands used.

Hope that helped.

Too bad u cant get them to lock on to you and fire. Wonder how hard it would be for sd to use the turret tracking mechanics on a training dummy. And maybe even use a random move generator so it randomly moves around while headimg towards u shooting.

Im.not a programer but its a legit thougjt i had
