Ok so I am modifing the orbital strike becon into a laser grenade.What I want it to do is I throw the grenade it explodes and shoots tons of pistol blaster bolts everywhere. But right now it does not shoot a spread of them it only shoots in one direction. Can somone please help me
here are the odfs

weapon odf com_weap_inf_cluster_grenade_ord3 com_weap_inf_cluster_grenade_ord4

ummm im not entirely sure but i dont think is what you are looking for here. i believe its this part. (this is the normal pistol odf)

the commands youve posted are only useable for the class "cannon" while he uses a beacon
according to the odf parameters doc these are the commands you can use with beacons:

psych0fred's ODF Parameters.txt wrote:AimAzimuth
AimElevation
AimDistance
SalvoCount
SalvoDelay
ScatterDistance
Ordnance
OrdnanceName

idk if that works in weapon types other than cannons

ahhhhh...interesting. could you make the grenade that is launched into a "cannon" class though? kind of like an autoturret and make it die as soon as it fires off. or would this be more complicated than D.U.C.K's solution?

im not shure about the effects of the parameters so i cant tell if my "solution" helps
but if its not possible to get an all-around firingrange you should probably use an autoturret like samofbia said

if remember right skyhawk released the assets for a clusterbomb some time ago, you could probably use that one if you dont want to figure it out on your own

Do you have a link? Cuz I don't know of him

i thought his cluster bomb dropped more grenades, not fired bullets, but i could be thinking of the wrong one....

EDIT: also, heres a vid of an autotureet shooting 360 (36 salvo count too for full coverage XD)
it doesnt shoot often, but i didnt change the delays.

i think it can be found here, not shure though

hmmm, thats an argument
then a turret couldnt be used i guess, i suppose he would shoot at one guy rather than in all directions. well you could probably give him an incredibly small delay between shots and an extreme huge recoil/inaccuracy

yes thats what i used the bomblet launcher as a basis for my grenade
and i can't get skys multiple auto turrets working so turrets are out

hmm that would be a problem wouldnt it. are there any commands to make something automatically fire a few seconds after release? then have it die .5 seconds after that?

EDIT: what do you mean by Sky's multiple autoturrets? what do those do?

his method of useing multiple auto turrets by making them "units"

so your saying that you want to put out multiple turrets, or that his way had something else to do with what your trying to do.

I saying that the suggestion of using an autoturret won't work because i can't get multiple autoturrets to work.

he means me Skyhawk is -_- if i remember right

pistol shots from a grenade - the most you can realistically do is get them to fire in 2 directions (secondary ordnances trick) unless you want them flying from above. how to do that is controlled by

AimAzimuth
AimElevation
AimDistance

Azimuth is rotation around the y-axis, ie rotation looking from above. changing this will change the direction the bolts/grenades/whatever fly from.
Elevation is rotation around the z axis, ie rotation looking down the path of the grenade. Changing this will change whether the bolt goes up down flat etc.
Distance is how far from the ordnance you want the blot/grenade whatever to come from (y-axis I think).

ScatterDistance is a distance varier - how far fom the standard distance they can be.

lol thats so easy though
just go into com_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser
and change this to this (this is about multiple autoturrets)

Multiple TYPES of autoturrets. Not more than one individual autoturret.



@Skelltor - um they're not units. If you don't mind waiting a few days send me all the files for the turrets you want and i'll set them up for you to use ingame/as a future reference.

I am sorry i was not clear about what i wanted was multiple types of auto turrets.
@ Sky just to clairifie you saying for me to send you the types of auto turrets i want (like send their weapons) and you will set them up for me. Or are you saying somthing really different than that?

Nope, that's what i'm saying. If they use different models and stuff send me those too.

thx a ton Sky I am really greatful for all of your odf mastery. Give me a little while to collect everything ok.
edit effects and basic auto turret odfs too?
