Post 3 different type shots in one gun?
Is it possible to make a weapon shoot a heavy mass particle then a sharp one then a spread of sharp ones?
i am trying to make a Zat'nik'tel, (from stargate) and it needs to do something like that to be like in series.

You can make a gun alternately fire one kind of bullet and then another. But can't choose which one ingame.

Look at the Tracer code.

I Realize that but can you have another tracer and not just one?

Try it, and if it fails, too bad.

If success, use it!

But, for the record, it will fail.
The second tracer will simply override the first.

There's not a way to make three rounds. Just two, with the second firing at an interval.



Although, the heavy mass and high sharpness ones sound like their main difference would just be recoil/knockback, so you could just compromise between the two for the regular round, and have a tracer as a spread of particles. It's as close as you'll get to what you want, unfortunately.

Considering the purpose of the Zat, it would be better to balance a weapon to do 40-60 damage. The third shot won't do what it's supposed to, but it wouldn't do it right anyways.
