RA2-YR: to make a bullet effect from generals

Supersonic · Grenadier **Joined**: 08 Jul 2003 **Location**: Australia

things u need:artmd.ini rulesmd.ini for YR, a bullet vxl(u can download the 1 i made below at the end of this TUT)

1st make weapon, in this case i made 1 for a quad cannon vehicle. copy this down:

Damage=10
ROF=2.66
Range=6
Projectile=QuadShell2
Speed=100
Warhead=SA
Report= ;wat ever sound
Anim=GUNFIRE
Burst=2

2nd make projectile called quadshell2 wit this typed on:

Image=BULLET
AG=yes
SubjectToElevation=no
SubjectToCliffs=no
SubjectToWalls=no
Shadow=no
Arm=2
ROT=1
Acceleration=24

3rd go the projectile objects in the artmd.ini and make an object called 'bullet'. and then just put voxel=yes tag on.

and thats it.

the only bad thing is it wont work on hills and cliffs as they tend to fire vertically down. so choose a map that has no hills or cliffs.

oh and if u think this idea is yours then i give credit to u. ba i'm sure i found out myself

and if any1 wants this in their site permission is granted as long as u put ma name

Isn't that tracer fire? And wouldn't it be better to use an shp instead, a voxel would have normals that may make it look weird. Otherwise, it's a good thing that someone did it and made a tutorial.

Yeah, except that you can't fire up or down hills as the projectile just gets stuck on them and blows up, like the railgun or plasma cannon in TS.

very true tratos.

and yeah the the normals does look weird but i prefer vxl than shp.

i will try shp for once

yeah, I have a shp one, but I can't seem to get it to work... I haven't read the tutorial yet, but what I think I have to do for SHP is make an shp for each direction firing <_< But right now I have a 8 frame shp which I've got to apear ingame, I just can't get it to be specific on which frame to use when shooting at in a sertain direction (also myne is in TS)
