  Shotgun Shenanigans [SOLVED/FIXED]I haven't experimented much with the idea yet and whilst I'm fine with adjusting existing stuff, I'm no good at working from scratch. I'm looking for suggestions/advice on how to do it as simply and effectively as possible. Getting the feeling I'm overlooking a really simple solution. Any pointers? Ed: All done here, see further down for how I managed it. Last edited by Arcalane on Sat Nov 19, 2011 10:44 pm, edited 2 times in total. |

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans I think he means he wants it to be able to fire slugs or buckshot, which won't work when using the normal shotgun method because that will make slugs scatter all over the place like buckshot. You need to shoot an emitter which emits when it leaves the barrel, and then shoots the buckshot. You can keep the slugs as they are right now.

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans Naxete wrote: Search function is your friend, arcalane. That doesn't really help me. I already know how to do ammo swapping - that's trivial. The method in that thread is also an incredibly hacky way around the problem, even if it would solve it. I'd rather avoid making this any more complicated than it needs to be. Now, AEmitters... initial tests are looking good, only making one wave of shots as it should be... as long as I shoot right. If I shoot left, it just hits the shotgun. Probably missing something stupid here. If I remove the EmissionAngle, shots hit the shotgun regardless of which direction I'm aiming in and regardless of the OrientToVel setting. Ed: Now it's just being a pain in the arse. |

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans It can't be easier:
If you want to switch between "ammo=devices" , use cavecricket template or mehman method. If you want everything is shot in the same magazine, grab coalition heavy sniper Aemitter tweak the variables and stop whining. |

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans 's all fixed now. CC/Mehman/Coalition HSR offered no insights into the problem at all, turns out removing a couple of lines was enough to work for the time being.

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans [SOLVED/FIXED] Oh, Arcalane, post the AEmitter code you are using to fire the particles.

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans [SOLVED/FIXED] I'm finished with this, but I'll post it anyway in case somebody finds it useful. I added a couple of comments too.

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans [SOLVED/FIXED] Frag-12 rounds would be trivial to make anyway. Just fire an AEmitter grenade, or use something similar to the bolter scripts for 'exploding' MOPixels.

Re: Shotgun Shenanigans [SOLVED/FIXED] Yeah but try balancing them, that's a nightmare.
