secondary projectiles

seagoat · Post by **seagoat** » Tue Dec 16, 2003 7:49 am

i wanna make the AR single fire, and when u charge it like the plasma pistol it shoots something else. i tried comparing the meta of the plasma pistol and AR but they are too different. first off, how do i swap models without getting exception error? second, does anyone know how to give something a secondary projectile? last, can someone give me like a meta adder to get to the peice of meta so i can make plasma weapons not overheat?

You can do that in HMT. Just make the charge time equivelant of the plasma pistol.

2. gmax is crap it never starts up for me it says this shit:

i think i know how but it will be different ... if you change the modle of a plasma pistol to that of a assault rifle you would have your secondayr fire mode and then all you would have to do is make it shoot assualt rifle bullets
