Title: M203 or m2 fire a smoke grenade
Post by: CooK on 05 Nov 2002, 06:50:07

is it possible? to have a m203 or a m2 machine gun fire a smoke grenade?

To my knowledge, all smoke grenades are hand-thrown in this game.  There's nothing to stop you from making your own add-on that allows M203-launched smoke grenades, though.

The M2 is a machine gun that, therefore, cannot fire grenades, smoke or otherwise--at least not without modifying its config entry.

Soz about this but, I just thought I'd like to say that the sound for the M203 launcher is gay !!!

Yes, yes there is. Should be, anyohow. Try the editor's depot snippets section, under misc or whatever. Somewhere there there should be a script which allows you to turn just about any missile into a smoke grenade of your choosing...possibly you could transform a flare/grenade into a smoke instead then.

Also, I think the addons depot had a bunch of smoke-launching m203-toting lads upped, WAY long ago. I suggest you conduct a search there too :D

As to the M2...hmm, suppose it could somehow be managed, but I really can't imagine why :D If we'd capture the bullets and turn them into smoke 'nades, the computer would crash and burn within moments thanks to the high rate of fire. Only option would be to make a smoke-grenade launching M2....which I don't think would be a likely candidate for the Addon's Depot realism prize  ::)

And I agree on Tombsy's sentiment on the M203.

:hmm:

Wolfrug out.

nahh, wolf, you can do it; the computer won't crash and burn, but it won't be pretty.


this addeventhandler [Fired, {private ["_bang", "_vector", "_pos"]; _bang = nearestobject [_this select 0, _this select 4]; _pos = getpos _bang; _vector = velocity _bang; deletevehicle _bang; _bang = "SmokeShell" camcreate _pos; _bang setvelocity _vector}]

of course, it can and should be tweaked.  Change SmokeShell to Shell120 and you can raise hell with a pistol.
