Title: player turrets?
Post by: Edwin on May 23, 2003, 05:46:37 pm
would it be possible to incorporate a feature that allows the player to fire certain turrets.  (ex. a new tag that makes turrets player-conntrolled and a new bind for fireing player turrets?)

Slightly off topic, but I've been meaning to ask;

Does anyone know why gun turrets on your craft never make any sound?  The turrets on the other craft in the wing, all the same craft, play the 'firesound' sound, but those on your craft don't.:doubt:

IIRC it is hard-coded that turrets on a player ship are made to be silent so as not to annoy the player.

hmmm, maybe I'm odd, but I find it more annoying that thay ARE silent.

BTW, what does IIRC stand for? (only one I haven't figured out)

A few minutes of it being turned on might change your mind :lol: Seriously though I do remember someone saying they were going to allow turrets to make sounds but at 1/2 or 1/4 volume to see if it did annoy people :) If you do it and give the player the option to turn it on or off it shouldn't be a problem :)

I'd like player turret sounds enabled --> my SA-43 looks daft otherwise

How can sound change how something looks?

It is my purpose to point out stupidity. :p

Anyway, that's what the EDIT button is for.
