Im trying to make a laser sight for a weap, but i don't know how to make it so it is always on like a proper laser sight rather than come on when the weap is fired and vanish a second later.
Somebodyhelp me please!

i don't believe this is possible to do with an ord, but it might be possible to do with a SFX file, i'm not sure

No, i think it is the ord, or else a line in the weapon odf to do with the ord. Anybody got any ideas.

-_- to the rescue! :twisted: ya, ignore that.

This is taken from the "com_weap_inf_rifle_ord"

LifeSpan = "0.80"

Instead of 0.80, change the values all you want and copy this line into your own weapon's ord. This will override the one loaded in the Common lvl. But I wouldnt recommend doing it, becuz the devs decide yo use this number for a reason. When too much lasers end up not dying off anywhere, it'll cause some major lag. Aw well, that's up to you

Already tried that, but good try. The problem with this is, as you say the lasers don't die off, also a new one is created everytime you fire. What im looking for is a laser that is on before you fire and that you can't create new ones. Im sure there is a solution somewhere.

Ohh you meant that Sort of like Leia's "sporting blaster" I presume?

Only thing with that is that the bolt is longer and lives a bit longer too. I want a bolt with infinate life, that is on to start with.

I'm not sure how to get that working, but I'll look more into it. I dont think it's possible to for one shot to hit before firing the other. Afterall, everything is timed in the odf's. You could always have a TriggerSingle = 1 and have a long resonable ShotDelay = "insert_long_number_here".

Hmmm...ok thanks for trying.

did you even try it? if so, you SHOULD maybe tell us the different results you got from them? then we can see what gives the most right result.

Ok i'll see if i can get some pics to show you as well.

The way I can think of doing it is by making it a secondary fire weapon. Your main weapon is the waepon you want to use, and the secondary weapon is a non-damaging laser. Hold down your secondary fire button when you want a laser, then fire your primary weapon when you want to score a hit. The laser would have to have infinate ammo, no recharge time, and continous fire.

Not a bad idea. That might be a last resort method. Thanks
