Can someone tell me how to get a spread shot for a machine gun so it's highly inaccurate.


Heres the code:

Weapon HowitzerMachineGun
PrimaryDamage = 10.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 0.0
ScatterRadiusVsInfantry = 10.0
AttackRange = 225.0
DamageType = SMALL_ARMS
DeathType = NORMAL
WeaponSpeed = 99999.0
ProjectileObject = NONE
FireFX = WeaponFX_TechnicalGunFire
FireSound = BattleDroneWeapon
ScatterRadius = 12
RadiusDamageAffects = ENEMIES
AntiAirborneVehicle = Yes
AntiGround = Yes
DelayBetweenShots = 50
ClipSize = 0
ClipReloadTime = 0
End

It just wont fire in a spread.

Maybe make ScatterRadius and ScatterRadiusvsInfantry high like, say, 20. That might not work though because its not a projectile, but give it a try.

if u are doing that in a map.ini, at least, it wont work b/cs that line is hardcoded (even in CINE weapons) and editing it wont do anything. i would also like weapons to scatter but have splash damage just like the original C&C had it.

Maybe you can some sort of projectile thats badically a large cone, though most of its tramparent and has what looks like bullets in it. Then whereever it hits, just make a fairly big splash damage area.

[SilverMobius]

Make a projectile, then use the scatter radius line.

No splash for it and where are you Alex?

Change this.

Heres the code:
Add this to weapon.ini

Weapon HowitzerMachineGun
PrimaryDamage = 10.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 3.0
AttackRange = 225.0
DamageType = SMALL_ARMS
DeathType = NORMAL
WeaponSpeed = 99999.0
ProjectileObject = InfantryBullet
FireFX = WeaponFX_TechnicalGunFire
FireSound = BattleDroneWeapon
ScatterRadius = 15
RadiusDamageAffects = ENEMIES
AntiAirborneVehicle = Yes
AntiGround = Yes
DelayBetweenShots = 50
ClipSize = 0
ClipReloadTime = 0
End


Add this to factionunit.ini

Object InfantryBullet

; *** ART Parameters ***
Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01
ConditionState = NONE
Model = NONE
End
End

; ***DESIGN parameters ***
DisplayName = OBJECT:InfantryBullet
EditorSorting = SYSTEM
ArmorSet
Armor = ProjectileArmor
End
VisionRange = 0.0

; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***
KindOf = PROJECTILE
Body = ActiveBody ModuleTag_02
MaxHealth = 100.0
InitialHealth = 100.0
End

Behavior = DestroyDie ModuleTag_03
;nothing
End

Behavior = DumbProjectileBehavior ModuleTag_04
; To tweak a Bezier path, please see GS
FirstHeight = 10 ; Height of Bezier control points above highest intervening terrain
SecondHeight = 10
FirstPercentIndent = 50% ; Percentage of shot distance control points are placed
SecondPercentIndent = 90%
FlightPathAdjustDistPerSecond = 100 ; Can allow a max speed this can attempt to follow a target. Units are their velocity we can tag.
End

Behavior = PhysicsBehavior ModuleTag_05
Mass = 0.01 ; we can't have a zero mass, but we want it pretty tiny...
End

Geometry = Sphere
GeometryIsSmall = Yes
GeometryMajorRadius = 1.0

End



if this doesnt work you got some coding wrong. (it works for me)
if it doesnt work ill send you a compleet coding. just ask me then.

Increase the number in this line ScatterRadius = 15 for more inaccuracy. You will also need to set ScatterRadiusvsInfantry to the same number so it is also inaccurate against infantry (that code is missing).

[The_Blind_One]

Eradicator.

I presumed he used a clip of 20 so that would mean 20 bullets diveded to 15 squares and with the low hit probability i used 3 primarydamage radius so it would have a good chance of hitting something in a shot.

Now about that scatterradiusvsinfantry = not neccesary, scatterradius counts for everything.

There is no need for vsinfantry since scatterradius it self already does it it means scatterradiusvsALL.

Its what the creator wants

Thanks all for helping me.
