Title: Tracer Fire
Post by: icarus_uk on 19 Dec 2005, 15:42:10

Havent played OFP in over a year, just got into it again and logged in (to find I had 2 messages about sripts I wrote haha).  But the question is, has anyone made an effective tracer script yet?  I searched the EdDepot but there isnt one there (or I couldnt find it).  Has anyone got one hidden away somewhere?

If not I'll write one myself, inthis case does anyone know if its possible to dynamicly create the bullet tracers in a script?  Or is a particle array the only way?

Edit: Can't figure out which one i like the most, i love Wolfbane's glowing tracers but i think Bn's are the most realistic one's out there?

Doesn't one of the tracer scripts have tracers that bounce off the ground and sometimes sit and burn?

I'm sure one of them does it.

Also I recall that script is very easy to edit if you want 3rd party addons to have tracers. I believe it's just a case of adding the ammo type to the init script.
