Post by: LimeCordial on 05 Oct 2002, 19:03:43

what is the .cpp line for defining rate of fire for a machine gun?

     The variable "reloadTime=x.xx;" is what determines how fast (or slow) the cycles are between shots fired by a weapon. These are measured in seconds, as I was told in a previous query posted here a little while ago.

     Naturally the lower the value the higher the rate of fire.
I hope thats what you were asking about. Otherwise I don't know of any other way to define firing rate o.o;

ah, thanks. just what i wanted. also, do you know how you could make it so you could choose between two types of ammo, like with the bmp2, where there is AP cannon and HE cannon? i would like it so you could 'Load HE Rounds' and then the mgun fires HE bullets? or isn't this possible?

     You know what? I'm actually kind of trying to figure out a very similar thing except for infantry weapons (multiple weapon types/ firing modes). I'm having a bit of trouble with that myself. I'd imagine it would work in a similar way for vehicle weapons as it would for infantry ones.

     I haven't quite figured that one out yet though.
