Ok, I've been scouring the released assets for years, and I searched several different things.

How do I make an ODF for dual pistols?

EDIT: Oh, btw, I do know that making an Aayla-esque ODF is obsolete, but I'm making a Commander Bly unit and if I used the Addon MSH technique, it would look wierd when he switched to his rifle.

all dual wepons when you change to another wepon they will still be attched to the left hand it dose look a bit odd but i dont think there is a fix.

skelltor is right, there is no known way to let the left weapons disappear when weapons are switched

Isn't he asking how to set up the odf's, not that the left pistol stays? Because I don't really think thats going to help him with his problem, no offense.

No, judging from his edit I think he wants to know how to make the second pistol disappear.

ah. Sorry about that you two. I only skim-read his post . I think someone released some odf's for the pistols, somewhere...

*sigh*

This could have been solved so easily...

Is this what you have been looking for?

I think he already has the pistol assets, he just doesn't know how to make the odf's. All your link does is show the dl for msh's, not odf's.

Lol there really aren't any .odfs.

Anyway the readmes inside should tell u how to get em in-game.

But since we can assume that he alrdy has the assets, I'll break down the quick instructions inside the readme into better understandables.

From the "How to get them in-game" section of the readme:

1. create a new animset, once again the tut to that is in the modtools under documentations. If they tell u about jeedai*s u should be able to implement the technique even with guns

2.Munge the anim set to ur side, u should know what this means

3. Is also a self explanatory step

4. This too.

5. To get a gun to shoot 2 lazers, check out the droideka's weapon .odf and implement the proper .odf lines

6. Munge ur world and hope that his left arm can hold another gun while aiming

He's asking here about point five on your list, i think he gets the rest from DD's post's. I think he'll need more info then what you have there btw....

PitchLimits = "-25.0 25.0"
YawLimits = "-40.0 40.0"

AimerYawLimits = "-40.0 40.0"
AimerPitchLimits = "-25 25"
AimerNodeName = "hp_gun_1"
FireOutsideLimits = "1"

NextAimer = "-"

AimerYawLimits = "-40.0 40.0"
AimerPitchLimits = "-25 25"
AimerNodeName = "hp_gun_2"
FireOutsideLimits = "1"

this is from the droideka units effect. Surely it is somewhere here.

Protip: If you're trying to get something to work for a unit, and your advice starts with "check out the droideka...", then stop there and start over.

The droideka acts like a vehicle (and so do its weapons act like vehicle weapons). You can't fire from multiple hardpoints on a unit. The trick is just making it look like two shots - use a couple ShotPatternPitchYaw lines to adjust the vector of the outgoing ordnance (like in a bowcaster .odf).
