Recoil Bug fix :)

howdy

some of you might know that when you add a secondary weapon that comes from the same barrel and same bone and has the same muzzleflash bone that only the secondary weapon will use that muzzle flash and recoil

0:

this fact has been annoying me ever since i started playing generals when ever a quad cannon or gattlin tank/cannon fires at art targets they only then they show there muzzle flash and recoil the same thing is with nuke cannons when you upgraded them with neutron shells only when firing the neutron shells the barrel will recoil :x

no i found something interesting while i was coding a infantry

Code:

ConditionState = USING_WEAPON_B

i wonderd if that code also works on vehicles so i tried it like this on my ZSU AA tank like this :

Code:

    ConditionState = NONE
      Model = UVZSU_57
      Turret = TURRET
      TurretPitch = TURRETEL
      WeaponFireFXBone  = PRIMARY MUZZLE
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MUZZLEFX
      WeaponRecoilBone  = PRIMARY BARREL
    End

    ConditionState = USING_WEAPON_B 
      Model = UVZSU_57
      Turret = TURRET
      TurretPitch = TURRETEL
      WeaponFireFXBone  = SECONDARY MUZZLE
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = SECONDARY MUZZLEFX
      WeaponRecoilBone  = SECONDARY BARREL
    End

and i was supprised when i tried that it works flawless

so this way you can fix that stupid bug EA left in the game and restore the muzzle flashes and recoil for al those units who do not show them when firing there primary weapons

Are the NukeCannon, QuadCannon and GattlinTank the only units with this bug, or has anyone identified others, too??

here's are the ones i have seen it with sofar

-NukeCannons
-QuadCannons
-Gattling Cannons
-Gattling Tanks
-Overlord Gattling cannon

this are the only ones i think but it also happens with all other units that have a secondary weapon that is fired with the same recoil and muzzle flash bones you add

I checked it in my game, but I didn't see Gattling Tanks had this problem.

Code:

Object ChinaTankGattling

  Draw                      = W3DTankDraw ModuleTag_01
    
    DefaultConditionState        
      Model               = NVGattTank
      Animation           = NVGattTank.NVGattTank
      AnimationMode       = MANUAL
      Turret              = TURRET01
      TurretPitch         = TURRETEL01
      WeaponMuzzleFlash   = PRIMARY   MuzzleFX
      WeaponFireFXBone    = PRIMARY   Muzzle
      WeaponMuzzleFlash   = SECONDARY MuzzleFX
      WeaponFireFXBone    = SECONDARY Muzzle
    End

      WeaponFireFXBone    = PRIMARY   Muzzle
      WeaponMuzzleFlash   = SECONDARY MuzzleFX
      WeaponFireFXBone    = SECONDARY Muzzle
    End

gattling tanks don't have any recoil problems and the animations play fine too but the big muzzle flash it shows when firing on air targets is gone when engaging ground targets :/
