Title: Deployable machine gun
Post by: greg147 on 17 Mar 2005, 22:05:21

Hi all,
Has anyone made a deployable machine gun that isn't part of a huge mod? So, like a HMG that can be used as a secondry weapon, and when the player selects 'weapon .50 cal', he loses the weapon and a Mounted MG spawns infront of him?

I know SwissMOD made one, but I don't really want to have to make beta testers download the whole mod for this gun.

Thanks  ;)

You could also spend hours downloading FDF mod for the same, but it's worth it!

Im unsure how to do this on a technical level, but as a suggestion could you not just have a black out then camcreate a 50.cal and then black in, so you wouldn't see it appear. And that shouldn't be too hard and wont need any addons. hope that helps

or what if one person carries the gun and another the mount(tripod/bipod) just like in the i-44 mod.


u could script it so that the person who carries the mount follows the person with the gun every where even though hes not in the same group, and a player can activate an action like deploy MG, and then the carrier runs right to the players postion and drops the mount, and the player has 2 actions then, retrieve mount or attach gun.
retrieve mount makes the carrier run up and pick up the mount and attach gun instantly deletes both the mount and the players gun and replaces them with a new static MG.

i would like to see that with mounted  .50s

thanks

No, since the pack only includes US Vietnam troops.
