attack animation help--> M16A2 shoots bullets as dagger : V

» Tue Jun 19, 2012 6:11 pm

I have finally done it. I made the M16A2 that can fire 'ammorounds'. No magic in this formula, and do not have to fire it like a bow. Problem is, holding it like a 1hd sword and firing a round off isn't good looking. Really need some animation help on that, even if that meant it's held like a staff striaght out, thats fine. Also, I don't think it's firing off a semi-automatic amount of 3. The spoiler below has the script I made by taking other scripts and chopping them up and putting them together. Also as motivation and credit to the creator of the Dwemerrifle for without his mod, I wouldn't have had the motivation and some idea of where to start.

I'm not really on topic here, and excuse me for that...but what's the motivation for firearms? There are games that are completely designed from the ground up for firearm combat. Why fit a square peg in a round hole?

I made it to where you have to actually go into the crafting kit, and set up what weapon and ammo you want... not even sure I needed to add the line <Projectile Property m16a2ammoprojectile Auto> . So it should work if you made the weapon property a weapon like a knife... Haven't put it through all the tests though.

Well, to see if I could, and also that is the point. There are games made for that, so it's trivial, but this is a game not made for these type of weapons. Also, those type of games are designed from the ground up and typically have everything else associated with that. I at this moment don't do so well with games or movies that are too similiar to military combat, therefore M16A2 killing rats, dragons, and trolls I am ok. Military forces with M16's, I don't do so well right now.
