Title: Help with SEXP's
Post by: Mahak on July 20, 2009, 12:28:16 am

Hi all,

Have a bit of a question, trying to reduce the amount of camera shudder when firing a weapon (using "shudder" flag in weapons.tbl).  I'm guessing the easiest way would be to set the amount per mission, as I don't want to dive into the code.

Does anyone have any better ideas?  I've been playing around with SEXP's to do this, but banging my head against the wall a little.  I imagine with a bit of experimentation and research I will get it, but if anyone has a really solid way of doing it that would be super awesome.

Cheers,

M.

The ONLY way to reduce shudder is to reduce the Mass of the weapon in its table entry. It has nothing to do with the code, or the missions.

Ah right so thats going to conflict if I want the weapon to have a kinetic effect on other craft, yeah?  D'oh.

I remember reading on the wiki that the maxim cannon had a shudder amount specified in code, so I thought I could change that and still keep a kinetic effect.  Oh well, guess I'll have to live with one or the other.

Cheers anyways, thanks for your reply!
