I had a great idea about how a weapon fires. In the weapon editor, there could be ratio boxes or a drop-down menu for these options: Single Shot Triple-Burst Quad-Burst Shotgun Spray Narrow Shotgun Spray Wide (Sawed off) Edit: Fixed the "ratio" Edited: 27 March 2005 00:39 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Aggreed ^.^. There should be a shotgun shell setting, or a burst (dont care about quad burst). On single shot, it can be varied to automatic or pistol like VIA ROF (like it is now). Projectiles that arn't bullets cant have this feature (the shotgun and burst). BTW, if we wont get this implemented in the full version, how about renaming the current shotgun to "Buck-shot Shotgun" because only the buck shot shotguns shoot 1 round. If it just stays shotgun, it would confuse many people on why it doesnt spray out

Don't make it just for bullets, I would like a shotgun-like laser cannon.

Cone sizes and number of projectiles are the obvious common/key attributtes. There are plans to add these values to the Weapon Editor. James. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Not all shotguns shoot a spray of bullets... your talking about bird shot here... in reality a sabot slug (a single large bullet) is much more powerful than bird-shot. And for the triple burst option couldn't you just set the shooting time to about 20 and set clip size to 3 or 4, then have a small reload time with no sound. That would also get the desired effect.

Hmm...single-round shotguns aren't very existant in the video game world anymore, unless you're playing hunting games You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

to set the clip size to 3 for triple burst, you wouldnt be able to regularly reload the gun, this would only be good for vehicles.

Yeah, that I expected for the triple burst. Also the bird shot should loose damage as range increases. The closer you are to an enemy when firing the more damage it does. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

You wouldnt need a "triple burst" setting. Like james said, he said you WILL be able to slect the amount of bullets sprayed and the cone size. For a "triple burst" effect, just make it so it shoots out 3 projectiles and make the cone extremely narrow, for a burst effect. Although, all of the bullits will hit at hte same time, and in real, they hit one after another in a matter of 1/3 of a second. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |
