So I was wondering how to create a gun that shoots a bullet that has a preset sprite instead of some random yellow dots. How do I do this?

You could define the ammo as a MOSRotating. It's basically the same as defining an AEmitter, except that you skip all the emitting parts.
You can add sharpness, mass, almost anything to it.

Even an AEmitter, for swankey trails and such.

And how do I do any of that?

Well, go and grab any AEmitter and use it as a template!
For example, go to the coalition's launchers and grab it's rocket AEmitter. Use your custom sprite, modify everything you want, even remove the emissions if you want, etc.

And there you go.

Ah, I see now. Thanks.

Okay you guys, it sounds to me Miggles would like the simplest and Easiest way to do this.

Asklar, a MOSRotating is like an Emitter, however it isn't the greatest way to make a simple bullet, same with an AEmitter.

The simplest and easiest way to do so is to define a MOSParticle, as said above.

Though they all have their benefits i believe what you're looking for is the MOSParticle.

Unless of course you want this bullet to follow a trajectory, because MOSParticles do not have the variable: OrientToVel, which as the name states, rotates it to follow the trajectory path.
This means a MOSParticle with a sprite of a box, will always have that box perfectly horizontal at all times.

Though the points made by RoastVeg, Nos[the rest of his name] and Asklar is valid and no offence to either of them.


To everyone else, please try to explain stuffs before you post, also find the MOST direct way of doing something.

edit: If further question is required, you can define a MOPixel as a MOSParticle instead and then just add a sprite to it.
Without the color variable.

Aka:

MOSParticles, I never paid attention to those.

In my opinion, there should be more guides on how to make guns, but more complex ones, because right now the only guides that there are are mainly to introduce basic gun making.
One that covered many types of proyectiles, differences, basic scripts, etc., I think that in that way there would be much more variation on guns, because people tend to use mainly MOPixels for almost anything and AEmitters for heavy weapons, and MOSParticles could perfectly be used instead.

Something like that is needed.

I've seen MOSRotatings used a lot. They're really good for when you want something to behave like an actor without actually being one.

Ok. I defined it as a MOSParticle. I followed your instructions. I added the sprite.
There's some error with line 8.

Why didn't you simply copy and paste the relevant part of the code instead of posting the entire RTE?

I don't know. I felt like it.

Which gun?

125.ini.

There are syntax errors and presetname always goes first when defining an object.
