quick! someone (who isn't me) go make a turret that recoils when it fires!

I would, except that I have tons of school stuff that I should be working on, instead of posting here.

[Nuke]

id like a weapon fire trigger, something that can work on a per fire point basis. srategicly placing an origin i can make guns kick back when they fire. the problem is it might screw up some of my cycling weapons. so it would need to operate on a per fire point basis.

it would also be cool if we can toggle glowpoints onn off with a trigger. like have landing lights come on when the docking bay opens.

*edit*
doesnt really belong here but for pcs2 id like the option to adjust subobject origins, just to ade in the creation of animations. it wouldnt actually move the object, just the point the game considers its center.

Goober, does your gatling gun allow for a warm up period?

Bobboua, In reference to primary bank, do we now have linear translation or is the only limited to horizontal?

[Nuke]

this doesn translate it only rotates. however if you use proper model hierarchy, any children of a sub model will inherit its parents motion. if you make the child rotate in the oposite direction it would apear to translate, although in a hinged fashon. you can also fake it if you change a subobject's orgin to be way off from the cinter.  in the case of a kicking gun barrel you could have the orgin way off to the side some where, by rotating the gun a couple of degrees it would simulate a kicking effect. likewise you could do sliding fighterbay doors if you place the orgin a distance behind the door. far enonough that the doors would completely open by turning the whole thing a degree or two. you would barely notice that they are rotating.

No.

[redmenace]

well a brief warm up period and warm down period might be nice. It might better simulate real gatling effects. since a real one might need to spin up to a certain speed inorder to fire and would have to suddenly spin down to a stop.

[Nuke]

fire rates should be variable, a shot gets fired every time a barel passes the firing threshold regaurdless of how fast the gun is spinning. the ammo feed is syncronised with the gun rotation and doesnt operate independantly as some games would have you think. fire rate ramps up as the gun starts firing, then ramps down when the trigger is released. gatling guns actually have breaks to slow them downto avoid wasting as much ammo on spindown.

hey I was in a hurry. I am a little more of a perfectionist when it comes to other more important stuff like the SCP website and the readme files.
