First I want to say thanks to the creator of Dwemer Rifle on the steam workshop because his gave me the ammo pic's and sounds and that someone can make a weapon that looks like a gun and fires rounds. Ok, so I have made it to where I can input an m16a2 that fires ammo rounds like a bow. Unlike the Dwemer Rifle, mine is all physical with no magic. Unfortuntately when i use an animation like staff, I can see my guy holding it but I can't fire. I use bow animation and i can fire a bullet just like a bow... problem is I fire just like a bow (meaning get a 'arrow' from 'quiver' and pull back on 'string' and fire, how long to hold makes distance) plus you don't see the m16a2. I would like it to be just like a real m16a2. When I attach the defaultfireweaponscript below I basically make an auto-firing turret in the shape of a m16a2. It seems like the fire burst and long burst, and the automatic flags, plus the disable animations don't work. If they did, it doesn't seem to effect using m16a2 like a bow, nor does the fixed distance or making the distance min far out. I would like it to be, you hold the attack button and it just keeps firiing like auto fire, or even semi-auto... not single just like a bow. I was thinking maybe if the below would work, i could hold the m16a2 like a staff, but it would still fire the ammo when i attack... but I would like it to work only when i use the attack button, and have it rapid fire, or at the least fire a burst of 3 bullets and like can fire really fast after that. figure altering this script below would make it easiest way... I have no experience scripting or even modding... just several days of messing with autocad 3ds max, nifskope, notepad++, video tutorials, just so i could get the weapon and ammo set up to work albeit not perfectly but at least as a 'bow' any help would be much appreciated
Spiler contains the script
