I dont think you can make regular units parachute out of destroyed aircraft?

You can add a secondary weapon to Aircraft to give them a sort of machinegun, and code in ammo for it. (though I dont think you want a long reload time on it..)

Making F-14s is as easy as modelling them, skinning them, and adding them. (But it isnt as easy as it sounds.)

Heh, it is advisable to practice modelling first though..personal experience..

Yes, you can make any unit drop out of any vehicle, look at the death states, you will notice one refers to an OCL for pilot, that creates the pilot with a parachute.

I presume the second weapon on the jets is possible.

Hmm, for the F14, do what the guy above said.

Danke

How do I make normal town citizens have weapons, on teams, and scripted to defend an area?

Also, how do I make it so that the infantry manning the gun on a technical can be killed by small arms, explosives, etc. . . ?

OMFG...TOO MANY QUESTIONS!


ok from up there:

1 : To inject custom sounds, make a folder called Audio then another called Sounds... in the sounds folder, place your .wav sound in there...then go to the soundeffects.ini and make an entry...

2:ANYTHING CAN BE PARACHUTED OUT OF PLANE...it is in the death module in the ObjectCreationList.ini...look under OCL_EjectPilotViaParachute

3: Go to the weapon.ini and copy an enter this:
;==================AIRGUN=====================
Weapon AircraftGun
PrimaryDamage = 30.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 0.0 ; 0 primary radius means "hits only intended victim"
AttackRange = 225.0
DamageType = Gattling
DeathType = NORMAL
WeaponSpeed = 999999.0 ; dist/sec (huge value == effectively instant)
ProjectileObject = NONE
FireFX = WeaponFX_GattlingTankMachineGunFire
VeterancyFireFX = HEROIC WeaponFX_GattlingTankMachineGunFireWithRedTracers
FireSound = GattlingTankWeapon
RadiusDamageAffects = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS
DelayBetweenShots = 250 ; time between shots, msec
ClipSize = 150 ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
ClipReloadTime = 20000 ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
AutoReloadClip = RETURN_TO_BASE
ContinuousFireOne = 3 ; How many shots at the same target constitute "Continuous Fire"
ContinuousFireTwo = 6 ; How many shots at the same target constitute "Continuous Fire Two"
ContinuousFireCoast = 2000 ; msec we can coast without firing before we lose Continuous Fire
WeaponBonus = CONTINUOUS_FIRE_MEAN RATE_OF_FIRE 200% ; When the object achieves this state, this weapon gets double the rate of fire
WeaponBonus = CONTINUOUS_FIRE_FAST RATE_OF_FIRE 300% ; This is not cumulative, so with Delay of 40, and values of 2 and 4 for these bonuses, you shoot at (40, 20, 10)
WeaponBonus = PLAYER_UPGRADE DAMAGE 125% ; ChainGun upgrade
AntiAirborneVehicle = Yes
AntiAirborneInfantry = Yes
AntiGround = Yes
End

4: Use those modelling programs i told you earlier in this post to make a f14 or try to find a downloadable model...

5: Model the citizens to have guns with the modelling programs, and give them a weapon entry in the weapon.ini

6: You need to make the guy able to be killed in the factionunit and not invincible [long story]...

About the civy weapons, if you give a civy a gun im pretty sure he wont just start killing anyone who comes past, the civilians are all neutral and as such they wont attack...

[SmokeyDaBear]

i wasnt talking about killing stuff...i was talking about how to give em weapons...killing is gonna be another task for another occaision...

[F-15Cipher]

You would probably have to go into the Worldbuilder and change the position they have for them to attack..

As for scripting defense, that is a story I probably cant explain, involves actual usage of Worldbuilder waypoint coding, something I never was good at...

[SmokeyDaBear]

and something i am good at... i have made several personal aod's my self [never public]...


and you are right f15, it requires some worldbuilder action with the scripts and all...but you also gotta add the weapon and stuff as well...

[IHM]

Shouldn't you only need to make the civies aggressive, and make all civilians part of a new team that is enemy to all, that will work.

DO NOT MAKE THE NORMAL CIVILIAN TEAM YOU ENEMY...

[SmokeyDaBear]

making them agressive shouldnt do anything if they have NO ENEMY TO ATTACK! If they neutral they will never attack you...
