  Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8<So, i need a tutorial on how to make effects like sniper rifles long sight thingy. : D
And how to set fire rate. And should i learn to LUA script so i know how to make a gun from a scratch? Sorry for my english. I know that it isn't the best. xD |

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< In your weapon's INI,put :
RateOfFire = <number> The sight thingy is related to sharpness of the rounds,i think (not sure) |

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< You don't need to learn lua to make guns.
Lua is for scenes/missions. |

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< Man,i assume you got a INI file where you wrote your weapon's code?
Then write this shite here. |

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< Sakaali wrote: SharpLength = 165 This is what you need to change. Usually, 600-700 should do you fine. Increase to 1000 if you feel adventurous, and 1500 if you want to see your own butt in the scope. Also, change the PresetNames first chance you get so you don't get things mixed up.

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< Also rising sharpness makes the round moar deadly. You should really download mod templates.

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< you noobs suck. "make the bullet cut the crap out of the map without doing anymore damage, yupyup"
goddamnit. look at the coalition sniper rifle for how to make a weapon fire bullets that blow heads off. basically you shoot an emitter that shoots about 5-12 bullets with its burst (BurstTriggered = 1, BurstSize = 5), fire that at a low speed and make it emit the particles at high speed. the only issue with this is that currently you can blow your legs off, which is fixed next build. ♥♥♥♥. edit: dont declare things like you know them if you dont. Making bullets heavier and faster is only good if you like either blowing your own arms off or playing with materials; as well as netting no extra damage from wounds, only from gibbing. doing it with a raised number of particles yields a more realistic end result.

Re: Lol im noob and i need helphalp! 8< Ok, here's how you go about making a sniper in two different ways.
1. The Easy Way. You have your gun. It shoots rounds at high speed (FireVelocity variable!) And these rounds are heavy (mass variable) and sharp (sharpness variable). Play around with these. Remember: - making bullets too heavy will make your soldier explode when he pulls the trigger. - making bullets too light will make them bounce off enemies - making bullets too sharp will cut great holes through the terrain, which looks bad. - making bullets not sharp enough will make them bounce off enemies, or crush them if your mass/velocity is high enough - making bullets fire too fast can result in: A) your soldier exploding (see mass too high) B) your bullets could go so fast that the game doesn't realise they've hit something so they ignore actors. - Making bullets fire too slow will result in them falling out of the barrel like a grenade would. Bad. In summary, this way is easy but has issues which can't be solved unless you use... 2. The Crazy Complicated Awesome way There's more than one way too build a deadly sniper rifle. The problem you're most likely to have is that you want bullets that don't make your soldier explode when he fires the gun and don't cut holes through the map, but do make enemies explode violently. How to fix this. 1. Use This Method to fire an object at higher speeds with greater mass without needing to worry about your actor exploding or the round being too sharp (sharpness becomes irrelevant when your bullets travel at the speed of sound and weigh 3 tonnes). 2. Instead of firing a MOPixel, which is the standard tiny thin little bullet, fire a MOSRotating, which are objects in Cortex Command that can be anything from grenades to pieces of dead things. Make your MOSRotating have a low GibImpulseLimit and gib things like fiery death (see the code for explosive stuff). Or make it heavier. Remember though, MOSRotatings have to be fired at a slower speed than MOPixels (because of their sprites) or they do the same thing as MOPixels do when you fire them too fast: ignore things they hit. 3. Use A TDExplosive. That's CC nerd talk for A GRENADE!! make your gun fire the frag grenade to start with. This method doesn't work as well as 2, as grenades have their names above them, can be thrown back and have to have a timer, but it's always an option. 4. Use a combination of these methods. I've personally made a gun which fires A craft, which gibs into an actor, which gibs into fiery death. Snipers and cannons often work like this. gun -> fires AEmitter -> fires MOSRotating ->Explodes into MOPixels Although the current method of choice for most (as seen in Duh's tutorial) is Gun -> fires AEmitter (with many MOSRotating variables, like gibs, mass, even sharpness) -> explodes into MOPixels. Sorry if that was confusing, just ask if you don't understand something or need more info, and me (and other veteran modders hopefully) will be happy to help. |
