use the base.rte ones. if theres anything you'll learn around here quickly, its that people dont usually make you things unless you've earned some respect and you catch them on a good day. regardless, have a look at how the heavy sniper rifle fires, it'll show you how to use emitters to fire weapons and allow you to shoot more than one particle. failing that, just attach an emitter onto the muzzleflash of your gun, for a cheap smoke effect. for more detail you'll have to look at examples.

There are several nice smoke ball effects in Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/Pyro.ini. There are a couple ways to add smoke (I'm sure there's more than the ones I'm about to describe). You want to add the smoke to the muzzle when you fire I'm assuming?
You can either use the shell of a round to do it or the particle fired. Using the shell, you can either use a one-off AEmitter or a TDExplosive with a really low trigger time to spawn some smoke MOSParticles.
Using the particle fired is similar, you can make a one-off AEmitter that fires both the smoke and particle.
See this thread if you're wondering how to use the one-off AEmitter.

The word "meaned" is not correct.

You should try to "somek" less majijuana.


I lol'd to no end. He does kindof have a point though dude are you typing via slamming an infant child on the keyboard?

Also, you'll probably have to edit the offsets to match your gun, if you're copying them from another.

Hey don't worry about it, just jesting with you.
But yeah if you work that in successfully, but it's coming out of the wrong place on the gun, which it probably will if I understand what you are doing correctly, you'll need to edit the off-sets, which I can help with.
