Title: Pulse weapon
Post by: Skaarj on January 15, 2004, 10:55:35 am

How do i does this? i want to create a pulse turret that fires a volley then recharges, then fires another volley. like the Ea weapons from b5. Can i do this just by altering the tbls? oh yeah am using the latest open, just incase that has any value.

this hasn't been implemented, yet, there is an incomplete effect if you use the swarm tag (coppy from a swarm missle) but it doesn't work quite right

...bob? I thought that the $shot: flag in the table file would allow multiple shots ot be fired, and then wait for acooldown. No?

$shot only works when you use it with eighter $fof or the "cycle" flag. one does shotguns, the other cycles your shots.

i found a bug though, if you use cycle with a ballistic primary weapon, it uses up 1 round of ammo for each gunpoint. if you have 4 guns it uses 4 rounds, even when you use cycle and only fire from a single gunpoint.

Taken directly from the weapons flag thread in the FAQ forum
$Shot: # - Fires several shots in a row realy fast then recharges a bit slower

Now how does this have to be with the fof or cycl? I don't think so... :p

Edit: Meh... I made a HIG/FT sentence... :lol:
