Essentially what I want is a script that shoots one bullet, and then shoots the next only a small while after, perhaps a tenth of a second. How would I do this?

Would you want the second bullet to have a different heading and location than the first? To say track the gun? If so, that'd be more complicated. But if you're ok with the second bullet coming out of nowhere, then you could simply do the following: Code: function Create(self) self.oldPos = Vector(self.Pos.X, self.Pos.Y); self.oldVel = Vector(self.Vel.X, self.Vel.Y); self.timer = new Timer(); end function Update(self) if self.timer:IsPastSimMS(10000) then local particle = CreateMOPixel("YourParticleHere"); particle.Pos = self.oldPos; particle.Vel = self.oldVel; MovableMan:AddParticle(particle); end end

Or just use an AEmitter.

Or if you are talking about a standard 2-round burst fire mode, you could just borrow the code from Coalition.rte/Devices/Weapons/Burst.lua and tailor it to your needs.

Do you want the second shot to be unavoidable? If so, you could take a look at the script for the Lightning assault rifle in Shadow Echelon, and try suiting that to your purposes, by taking out the other features and the full auto mode, and adjusting the RPMs.

What I was thinking was that the gun took the casing and ejected it at high velocity at the enemy, coming from a separate muzzle. If by unavoidable you mean that the gun always fires two bullets, then yes, because it wouldn't be a fire mode.

Unfortunately the casing eject angle is unchangeable and ejects at exactly the same time as the bullet is fired.

But you could just make a null Shell so nothing is ejected, and just make a fake one that is "ejected" in the style you are describing. Getting it to come out of a second muzzle (I presume you mean under the first) I am pretty sure has been done before, but I cannot recall where. Just one idea about how to do that is maybe an attachment that, through lua, detects when the gun fires and then also "fires".
