You can't. All you can do is create an emitterordnance that has smolder damage (like a flamethrower) and a long distance.
Note that I didn't actually try this out, it's just quickly thrown together from the flamethrower's ord file:
Code: Select all
[OrdnanceClass]
ClassLabel = "emitterordnance"
[Properties]
ImpactEffectWater = "com_sfx_watersplash_ord"
ConeLength = "200" //random high number, haven't tested this
ConeAngle = "3" //random low number, haven't tested this
FirstRadius = "2.0"
MaxTargets = "1" // Max number of targets to hit. Chaining is off so the damage will be split between the number of targets
NoChaining = "1" // No chaining - all bolts coming from the attacker
//OrdnanceSound = "com_weap_launcher_energy_dumbfire"
Damage = "15" // This is the min damage. Even if the initial damage is split between the number of targets, it will never go below this number for each target
MaxDamage = "15" // This is the max damage
JumpDeduction = "0" // No jump deduction. This is for chaining only
DamageThreshold = "0" // Always do damage (no threshold)
MaxJumpDistance = "0" // No max jump distance because the chaining is off
VehicleScale = "0.1"
ShieldScale = "1.0"
PersonScale = "1.0"
AnimalScale = "1.0"
DroidScale = "1.0"
BuildingScale = "0.1"
//Push = "0.0"
//LightningEffect = "com_sfx_lightning"
//LightningEffectScale = "0.25"
//NoTargetLightningEffectCount = "5" // The number of ligthning effects to display when the ordinance has no targets to hit
//NoTargetLightningEffectRandomSpread = "0.4" // The random rotation spread the ligthning effects does when the ordinance has no targets to hit
AffectFriends = "1" // default is 1. should the ordnance affect friends.
AffectEnemies = "1" // default is 1. should the ordnance affect enemies.
TrailEffect = "your trail effect name"
SmolderDamageRate = "50.0" // this is where you set how much damage the "poison" does, play around with this
SmolderEffectTimer = "5.0" //how long "poison" lasts
SmolderEffect = "com_sfx_buffed_poison"
SmolderBone = "bone_ribcage"
//you can add more or different smolder effects to different bones, just check out the flamethrower ord for examples.
SmolderVanishDeath = "0"
BonusAmplification = "0.5" //how much more damage will be done when team_bonus_blaster_amplication is on

?
...or you can use the flamethrower as a base, because it's
already in your assets and I just gave you a working _ord.odf.

cant i just put these lines:
Code: Select all
SmolderDamageRate = "50.0" // this is where you set how much damage the "poison" does, play around with this
SmolderEffectTimer = "5.0" //how long "poison" lasts
SmolderEffect = "com_sfx_buffed_poison"
SmolderBone = "bone_ribcage"
//you can add more or different smolder effects to different bones, just check out the flamethrower ord for examples.
SmolderVanishDeath = "0"

No, a rifle is not an emitter ordnance, and it just so happens that those lines only work with emitter ordnance.

can i make a secondary ordinance (a tracer) for it?

Sure. Cannons can use both emitters and bolts as ordnances, and cannons support multiple ordnances.

actually i think this is pretty easy (i sort of have one)
what you do is take youre weapon of choice, make geometryname in the ord file com_weap_missile (most dart-like msh in the game) and give it a stick effect and an impact effect that looks like poison. (like the magnaguard mortar)

Poison dart rifle is included here......
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... Pack;95488
And its a 2.5 meg download so if you don't want the other weapons just delete them.
If you want to get a short range poison dart then Syth released one. Check the released assets forum, its in one of the released BFP source file downloads (not the weapon model pack, the one with the side odfs. CIS has it).
ConeLength = "200" //random high number, haven't tested this
ConeAngle = "3" //random low number, haven't tested this
FirstRadius = "2.0"
Too big (radius and angle). If you want it to have 200m range that means people will be getting hit like a metre away from where your projectile is (if its a dart...if it was like a gas gun that'd make sense). But otherwise pretty much right.

Yeah, but the exact number wasn't the point. It was just a random number, and numbers don't matter anyway (for examples), because they're easy to tweak. I'd rather teach a man to fish instead of giving the fish, if you catch my drift.

Sure Mav. I wasn't having a go at ya, I was just telling him the problem with having a too big angle.

Just wondering but, would a posion mine work if you change the line in the _exp odf to this instead of explosion class?
Code: Select all
[OrdnanceClass]
ClassLabel = "emitterordnance"
and also added the smolder lines?

No. A working poison grenade would have to be a .lua weapon (it's actually a really easy one, but any .lua weapons are unwieldy).

Lua weapon means you gotta add some code into your lua for whatever era you want it in for it to work.
Oh and poison mines/grenades - sorta possible. But kills with it won't get counted to you so it's kinda useless, especially in assault mode.
May be possible using orbital strike beacons (which would fix the kill problem and the animations), but so far (I tried once) haven't been able to get it to work.

Sorry to stick my nose in and ask a sort of unrelated question, but from wht I can tell the Flamer Rifle shouldn't work. How did Dann make the flames stick?
