Shoot STRAIGHT plasma grenades

Post by IISKETCHII »

I've been having some problems with projecting plasma grenades out of a weapon so they fly straight, rather than fall out of the end of the gun.

I've been doing all of this in DotHalo ie: weap tag, objects/weapons/rifle/battle_riffle/battle_riffle, and change the proj tag under dependencies to objects/weapons/grenade/plasma_grenade/plasma_grenade, save changes in the Dependencies window, save changes in the Tags window, fixed encryption, signed, and ftp...so when i play and use the battle riffle, plasma grenades just fall out the end and drop at my feet, effectivly killing me!

haha, im more frusterated than anything, but if anyone can give me some help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Go to the proj tag and find the plasma grenades and click on them and then in the tag editor change the initial projectile speed and final projectile speed to a high number. I changed the numbers to 9999 but thats a little too high. They fly off the walls.

Yeah, you have to go to the [proj] Projectile tag in DotHalo. Then, in the tag, click on objects\weapons\grenade\plasma_grenade\plasma_grenade. Then, the tag editor should pop up. In the tag editor, scroll down and change Initial projectile speen and Final projectile speen to something higher than 0. And 9999 is really high. 12 is good if you want it to shoot out of the gun at a fair speed. Note that this doesn't effect how far MC throws the grendade. Also, if you want the plasma grendade to shoot out of different weapons at different speeds or something, you can either duplicate the plasma grenade in Entity or Incolense, then change it.

Is there a way that you can just replace the pistol bullet with the plasma grenade insted of just swaping them?

How do I get a vechicle or bipd to be shot out straight out my gun. It isn't a projectile so I don't know what to do.

Hehehe I will remember that. I remember someone asked that awhile ago and I think it went unanswerd.

I had a breif thought that for somerason I though the proj speed was in the jpt! Tag =S. But then I though to myself no it isn't... its in the Proj tag =p.

It was an odd moment :P .
