I tested it, but i didnt do the no_muzzle_flash thing, is there any way to have both weapns have muzzle flash?

no, as far as i know its not possible to have multiple muzzleflashes on infanryweapons

Ah well, bang goes that, thanks guys for clearing this up, i probably will chang the name of the forum to my new question, rather that open a new one.

You mean the name of your thread, I hope?

yea sorry, i wrote in 2 secs

What about that one asset DarthD.U.C.K (i think) released that had a dual weapon wielding skeleton? I can't find it anymore, but would that have a muzzle flash?

No it would not.

Fiodis wrote:No it would not.

it just makes a movement like hes firening the weapon, while have a addon mesh weapon in the left hand

You could add an effect to the ORD odf as a
TrailEffect = "muzzle_effect" // an fx file

I only know for sure that this works on turrets. ( I wanted to add a vaporization trail to my giant lazzor beam)
You could edit an fx file like one of sparks (if needed at all) so that it stays stationary at the muzzle. My contrails are currently doing this unintentionally. Well actually now they sit there and fire off a second later XD. But before they basically acted as muzzle-smoke.

I've considered that before, and played with it a little. Got some results, but I didn't like them much. For one thing, the weapon has to be launcher class and the ordance couldn't be emmiterordance, a bolt, or a beam.

Are you sure? This is my ODf, its derived from the one for the big space turrets, but I thought beams look stupid so I changed it for my space map, now I placed a few as ... anti-aircraft...turrets on my map. Big aircraft. P.S. I just got a new rank 1111posts!!! (This has got to be like the 3rd time I've passed 1100 posts...)

I know vehicles and turrets can have discharge effects. I'm pretty sure bolts can't have trail effects, only impact/expire effects, but I could very well be wrong....that trail effect worked for you, Ace?

I can confirm trail effects do work with bolts. See the bottom left image: It's hard to see but that's actually a blue trail effect with a blue bolt.

Hooray, I'm wrong.

i started this as a simple inquirery, and it turned into a discussion

The basic probs with this are hardcoded. Since no one at Pandemic wanted to take the time to program the stuff needed for jango, they gave us a bit of a sticky spot. The best idea i had fooled around with trying to rename the hp_fire on the second weapon, then and a second ord to that hp, but as you all know, this is impossible, so i came here.

This, altough gave me some fun ideas, is moot. I f you cant have it fire from BOTH weps, then whats the point?
On second thought, you might be able to do this, then in the fx file, copy the whole thing, then offset it and delay it some how, not sure how that would work.
If any one wants to play around with this feel free, but im toO busy to work on this right now, altough id love to.
AND, im only intermediately good at FX.

That's what I played with, but that was before I knew bolts could have traileffects. I may just play with this some more now.
