Is there any way i could get a flak88 to fire where ever i look and click with the binoculars? Also could i make it so that you can only do this if your location is right next to the flak88?
thx

i think you should use the search button;) i know there ahs been some things in the past on this. including a topic i made called something like "fire flak with radio" or soemthing. was a long time ago.
and isnt that also waht rookies fire for effect does?

No, my arty fires from nowhere.
It's not that hard. Just take the player's view forward vector, do a trace, aim the Flak and fire it.

Code: Select all
local.player = $player
local.range = 1024
local.fwd_vec = angles_toforward local.player.viewangles
local.start = local.player gettagposition "Bip01 Head"
local.range = 10240
local.ground = trace (local.start + local.fwd_vec * 64) (local.start + local.fwd_vec * local.range ) 0
$flakk turnto local.ground
it's a hack and i dont know if the flakk even supports the turnto command but that's pretty much it, unless you want it to fire as well.

You're almost right, Lizard.
Code: Select all
local.player = $player
local.fwd_vec = angles_toforward local.player.viewangles
local.start = local.player gettagposition "Bip01 Head"
local.range = 10240
local.ground = trace (local.start + local.fwd_vec * 64) (local.start + local.fwd_vec * local.range ) 0
$flak setaimtarget local.ground
You might want to add an Z offset as the flak will turn straight to the point and it looks quite weird.

I have another question about flak - how to made it functional?(For MP)
No just an object

that would require a lot of other complex scripting, and i KNOW FOR SURE that there are other topics on that. do a search.

Its all done in the "binocular_fire" method.
For your location dependency you need a trigger_multiple, add a scanner that scans all players to see if they are touching the trigger, and then only allow players marked as beeing in the trigger to fire the flak.
Fireing the flak is in the Dogville map, where I re-scripted snowy park to an obj map. I also have a specific "Fire flak" tutorial.
Scanners are in the scout mod and in The Canal liberation mode map.
That should help. If not:
its back to scripting school for you.

I used a slightly modified version of Bjarne BZR's scout mod that lights up a player with the binoculars in my map the rescue to fire the flak when you where standing in the tower in front of the building next to the flak . On my site is the flakfire.scr a script that fires the flak where you aim when you stand beside it and use the use key .
