| Post subject: | Adding a gun to a Dropship |
Tried searching, and couldn't find any topics, so was wondering if anyone has tried this yet? I am trying to get a gun mounted to the bottom of a dropship so that, obviously, awesomeness can ensue when dropping troops off in a hot LZ. Any ideas? I've had a stab at it, however it would require (as far as I can tell) re-doing the pie menu for said dropship, and possibly a custom lua script. |

Guns don't naturally attach to dropships like crabs, you have to do some trickery to get them good, using emitters or flying crabs and repositioning them as the actor moves - then you have to work with a control system. For more information, take a look at some examples by Abdul Alhazred, including the Experimental Dummy Vehicles and his gunship mod. |

Of for a simpler (I think) method, take a look at how it's done in Unitec. Those guns aren't controllable though, so if you want controllable guns you'd have to take roast's advice. |

Yeah of course you can abandon a control system and develop an AI for your guns to keep it simple. |

I wrote a very basic script like that (mouse or kb controlled gun) for somebody else a long time ago that you can have a look at. Anyone is of course welcome to do whatever they want with it, but remember that it is very basic so there is still a lot of work to make this in to something polished.

Cheers guys for the help, sorry I've been away recently so have only had a chance to have a shifty on here for some responses. The non-controllable turret option sounds best for what I'm making atm, so thanks for the tips. I'll have a go with these tomorrow at some point and let you know how it goes. |
