Double weapons. Possible?

Post by Guest »

So, Ayala Secura (and some jedis) have 2 lightsabers - two wearons.

Is it possible - 2 pistols?

1. Melee weapons are different from pistols
2. The pistol model and person model would have to have correct hardpoints for it to be held
3. It would require new animations for holding 2 pistols
4. It would need someway for the ord to come out of 2 firepoints at the same time or whatever way you wanted it to work.

I've tried several experiments trying this out, and none of them have been successful. I've went from basing the ODF files off of the dual saber ODF, replace it with pistols, down to just giving the unit a second "dummy" model in his other hand that wouldn't fire. Sad to say, nothing worked. Amazingly enough though, I didn't really experience any crashes while testing it out... normally you would think something like that would crash the game, but no such thing. Either the unit spawns with only one pistol, or doesn't show up at all. :?

The biggest problem lies in the fact that we have no animations for two pistols

exactly. instead of editing existing scripts it would be much easier to, once with animations/models/hps etc, simply make a new weapon that fires alternativly or simultaneously. pretty easy if you think about it.

A short, less 'pretty' thing would to simply copy the pistol odf, rename it something new, set it to offhandweapon, and give it to your player.

he would have to weapons, primary fire shoots one, secondary shoots the other. but unless you could edit where on the screen the secondary weapon resides it would be useless.

you need animations to have 2 pistols right?

well why doesn't anyone make an animation. Theres docs on making animations so why not someone actually doing it.
Its just a thought but wouldn't the animation be pretty easy? the animation would be practically just the arm recoiling from the shot.

i don't know but it would be awsome if someone did that.

Yeah, I doubt it. Even in a huge community like Jedi Academy had there were only like two people that did anims. They're no fun when you can't motion capture.

Seriously? Does this mean PAN actually didn't give something on purpose? Maybe they forgot or maybe the animations were copyrighted or something? :shock:

I checked three times, all the common ones, rifle, none, pistol, none, bazooka none. Even checked Fett's animations. NONE.. now I wonder if that was even in dev shot of Jango in that manual >.>

Why would they create twice as many animations as they needed? They didn't even model different guns for different weapons.

I wouldn't be suprised if the stole it from SW Bounty Hunter! I really don't think they should of put that pic in the manual, it just goes to show more of the cut or drop work that PAN/Lucasarts is known for cutting out of there games due to trying to get it done to fast and not being concerned about quality.
