precision_bomber has now solved both the main problems in the OP.

So I'm curious, are you going to use your existing code with the fixes or the new suggestions?

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

I'll try that! Thank you!

(What does OP stand for in this case?)


Well, for the Combine Soldier I'm using the new weapon and tweaking it slightly. Mainly 'cause of the new tracer effects. Smile

I'd still like to get my existing weapon functional, though.

There's a new problem: I'd like to have the regular bullet tracers in ADDITION to the new green-blue-ish Pulse-tracers. I don't know how to do this, though... Do I make a new effect?


Also, not totally necessary, but I would like to have the blue laser firing flash coming from the gun's muzzle, but without the laser SOUND... Dunno how to do that.

I think there was something else but I forgot. Irked

Add to the weapon.
Code:

FireFX                  = WeaponFX_GenericMachineGunFire


Unless you wanna make me go through custom FXLists too.

Well, I added that but that also added back spent casing being ejected from the weapon.

BUT, I found WeaponFX_GenericMachineGunFire in FXList.ini, copied it, and made my own firing FX for Pulse-based bullet stuffs.

Code:

FXList WeaponFX_GenericPulseWeaponFire
  LightPulse 
    Color = R:100 G:240 B:255 
    Radius = 10 
    IncreaseTime = 0 
    DecreaseTime = 200
  End
  ParticleSystem 
    Name = GattlingCannonLenzflare
    OrientToObject = Yes
    Offset = X:0.0 Y:0.0 Z:0.0
  End
  ;ParticleSystem 
  ;  Name = FallingShells
  ;  OrientToObject = Yes
  ;  Offset = X:0.0 Y:0.0 Z:0.0
  ;End
  Tracer
    DecayAt = 1
    Length = 10
    Width = 0.3
    Color = R:100 G:240 B:255
    Speed = 600
    Probability = 0.5
  End
End


(I've yet to figure out what LightPulse does, though.)

Now I have a very nice blue-ish tracer in addition to the awesome green stuff you made. Big Smile

There's only one problem so far (other then my own new FX not being 100% finished, but I can get that done on my own). Your tracer is a bit too... Floaty. The blue tracer goes perfectly straight at the target while the green tracer floats in a curved path to the target. Is there any way I can change this so it goes as straight as the blue tracer?

I didn't read your post, kinda lazy xD, kidding. Wait until precision bomber comes back online, He's the particle systems expert :D
But I think that I know that why if you add the laser tracer you already added, it starts far away, maybe, and juat maybe the launch bone is actually far away so it shows the bullet better, so if you can try to modify the place of the launch bone with Gmax, or make it be the bone as FireFXBone...

No.

It archs like that because I based it off GenericTankShell.

This behavior here:
Code:

Behavior = DumbProjectileBehavior ModuleTag_04 
; To tweak a Bezier path, please see GS
FirstHeight = 10 ; Height of Bezier control points above highest intervening terrain
SecondHeight = 10
FirstPercentIndent = 50% ; Percentage of shot distance control points are placed
SecondPercentIndent = 90%
FlightPathAdjustDistPerSecond = 100 ; Can allow a max speed this can attempt to follow a target. Units are their velocity we can tag.
End


You can replace this MissileAIUpdate.
With the cost of it having "SMALL_MISSILE" KindOf. (?)

Or. You can base the projectile off Spectre Gunship Shells.

Well, I replaced the behavior with what you said to and now it's working perfectly! Thank you so much! Big Smile
