machine gun missing sound

lionRA2forums · Disk Thrower **Joined**: 17 Feb 2016

I found these codes a while ago on how to make a vehicle attack with 2 weapons without deploy. I'm using it for my apache. The issue is that the machine guns have no sound and shooting animation when they attack.
How can I fix this?

Here's the codes:

IsGattling=yes
TurretCount=1
WeaponCount=4
Weapon1=HELIROCKET1;
Weapon2=BlackHawkCannon;
Weapon3=BlackHawkCannon;
Weapon4=BlackHawkCannon;
EliteWeapon1=HELIROCKET1;
EliteWeapon2=BlackHawkCannonE;
EliteWeapon3=BlackHawkCannonE;
EliteWeapon4=BlackHawkCannonE;
WeaponStages=2
Stage1=20;
Stage2=200;1
EliteStage1=20;
EliteStage2=200;1
RateUp=1
RateDown=1;

When you use gatling logic, the sound from the weapons is not used.
Instead, you can use the sound from the firing animation.
Just make copies of the muzzle animation and give them a sound.
It should work.

Report and DownReport work just fine on gattling weapons. Westwood used them and I use them as well.

Check how the weapon sounds are created in the vanilla sound file. It will show you exactly what to do.

The only sound that works with report and down report is the gattling gun.

Sound can only be heard with the gattling gun. Also sometimes it has no animations or won't attack.

I tried 2 weapons:

; Blackhawks gun (from QuadCannon)
[BlackHawkCannon2]
Damage=35
ROF=40
Range=6
Projectile=QuadShell
Speed=100
Warhead=SA
Report=GIAttackDeployed
;DownReport=GIAttackDeployed
Anim=MGUN-N,MGUN-NE,MGUN-E,MGUN-SE,MGUN-S,MGUN-SW,MGUN-W,MGUN-NW
OmniFire=no

; rapid fire anti-ground machine gun
[HAGGattling2]
Damage=25;50
ROF=16
Range=5
Projectile=Invisiblelow ;GEF Anti ground ;SA
Speed=100
Warhead=GattWH
Report=GIAttackDeployed
DownReport=GIAttackDeployed
Burst = 2
Anim=MGUN-N,MGUN-NE,MGUN-E,MGUN-SE,MGUN-S,MGUN-SW,MGUN-W,MGUN-NW
OmniFire=yes

Gattling system weapons expect looping sound event as Report. Non-looping ones are played in very irregular and erratic fashion. Only way to use non-looping ones is the workaround proposed by PillBox20.

I'm confused. Muzzle animation would be

; muzzle flash
[GUNFIRE]
Layer=ground
Translucent=yes

But those don't have sound (Report).

P.S. I tried using the same stats as the gattlinglooping sound in soundmd.ini and gave it to the blackhawkcannon sound but still didnt work.

You make duplicate of the Animations in the List and the copies have Reports on them.

Ok got it to work...it's the weapons you were talking about not the animations.

Btw I still have the issue where the helicopter can't lock on a target so it will be doing the attack sound but not damaging the target.
