How do I offset the laser?

hi,

das anyone knows, how to make a offset so the laser doesn't come from anywhere over me. It should start at the gun you see.

Depends. What type of entity is this? Vehicle, armed building, or unit? If it's a unit, you can't change it, but if it's a vehicle or an armed building (basically a turret), the shots come out of the aimer hard point.

Example:

Code: Select all

AimerNodeName           = "missilepod_aimer_l1"
AimerYawLimits          = "-20.0 20.0"
AimerPitchLimits        = "-20.0 20.0"
FireOutsideLimits       = "1"

i changed the higlighted things, but nothings changed. Can you maybe explain me, what the highlighted lines are good for, and how the
AimerNodeName,
AimerYawLimits,
AimerPitchLimits,
FireOutsideLimits,
functions work???

Thanks for the tutorial.

This is now my modifyed rep_bldg_inf_e_web.odf. But it still does not work.

Has someone an idea why?? I put everything from the com odf to the rep odf. And there i changed the firepoint to aimer_gun. But it still shots from somewhere over me
