as in shooting it to trigger it?

set the spanw flags for the trigger to 128

128 ( trigger no projectile)
144 ( trigger inc projectile)

heres a question... can an MG42 be targeted by a trigger (MG bound to corner of building on a turret made by the mapper and when the trigger is pressed, the MG fires?

probally hit control + k and connect the trigger to the mg42.make sure to connect in correct order.
im not positive this will work

its easier to script it.

trigger, setthread, you know the drill..

Code: Select all

mgShootAtHim:

$mg aimat $victim
wait 1
$mg shootat $victim
wait 1
$mg aimat NULL

not totally sure it's shootat...

probally $player,again not totally sure.

so would the thread be

Code: Select all

mg_ops:
            $gunner waittill trigger
            $mg aimat $player
            wait .5 //I like fast results ;-)
            $mg shootat $player
            wait .5 //I like fast results ;-)
            $mg aimat NULL 
goto mg_ops
end

?

Well, assuming that $gunner is the trigger, it should work.

There's one thing - you shouldn't be using goto (I'm not even sure if there's such thing in MoH scripting...), have a while loop instead. And if you want fast results, change wait 5 to waitframe - can't get any faster than that without removing the waiting completely.

I would do it like this:

Code: Select all

mg_ops:
            while(1) {
                        $gunner waittill trigger
                        $mg aimat $player
                        waitframe //now that's real fast!
                        $mg shootat $player
                        waitframe //hurry up!
                        $mg aimat NULL
            }
end

I'm going to hijack the topic.

Is there a way to get the primary weapon the player's using? I tried $player.gun and $player.weapon, but they both return NIL...

This will work

Code: Select all

mg_ops:

while(1) {
		$gunner waittill trigger

		local.player = parm.other

		$mg setaimtarget local.player

		$mg waittill ontarget

		$mg startfiring

		While(local.player istouching $gunner)
		{
			$mg setaimtarget local.player

			waitframe
		}

		$mg stopfiring
            }
end

I asked jv_map about this:

jv_map@mods-r-us.net wrote:you can do something like:
Code: Select all
$player[local.number] weaponcommand dual targetname ("playerweap" + local.number) // sets targetname of weapon player is holding
// then:
switch($("playerweap" + local.number).model)
{
   case "models/weapons/m1_garand.tik":
       // blablabla
       break
   // etc
}
P.S. don't do this every frame, it will cause tremendous lag (with a delay of say 0.5 I think there won't be a problem).
