This thread over at AA.com should work for you, but for a helicopter you will have to change it to "rotateY 360" or "rotateX 360". It does not rotate very fast, so if you want it to look real, you may need to make like 8 blades.

wow you answered your own Q...hehhee

I assume its default firing is 6 so if you can get a flak firing using the same method with get s nebelwefer firing 6.

The thing with the blades not spinning fast is easy to fix. In your script file add these lines.

Code: Select all

$heli_blades time 0.1 
The time command sets how long it will take to move or rotate a brush/script_object. So, time 0.1 sets the blads to move/rotate in 0.1 seconds, play with the time to get it right. Hope this helps.

rotate speed

Post by tltrude »

I tried reducing the time of rotation, but it will not speed up past a certain point. It probably has something to do with frame rate and mine is pretty low (TNT2 M64) until I get my new Geforce3 Ti500 tomarrow!

I have never looked at the HUNT script, but my guess is that it is a random explosion thing. Just copy the explosion emitters and sound origins from the field and look for the same kind of things at the gun. Then get the targetnames and search for them in the script.
