Deploy weapons?

I have seen mods where a tank or infantry has a weapon like a gun and can also deploy to self-destruct could someone please tell me how?

see in the Yuri clone code to know how to make a weapon shot by the deploy action... then make it a suicide weapon, and you will have it...

If I wanted to make the Demo Truck deploy fire, could I just give it a secondary of the same weapon, or would I have to modify the DemoBomb so there is a copy that is deploy-fire.

That's not necessary. Just give the demo truck Deployer=yes and DeployFire=yes. Then it will fire its primary when deployed, and since it's primary is a Suicide=yes weapon, the unit will be killed, triggering the DeathWeapon. (A weapon never actually fires when Suicide=yes anyway, all that happens is the unit gets killed).

This is actually a good idea. Mind if I use it?

Go ahead and use it. I actually got this idea from a mod where there was a Rad-tank and you could deploy it to make it over-heat and explode. I am actually going to use that idea for all of my suicide units. By the way... Doesn't the GI use it's Secondary weapon (Para) when it is deployed?

um, that mod is deezire.

Yes, the GI does. I think when a unit has two weapons, the deployweapon will always be the secondary.

; DeployFireWeapon = Index of weapon to fire while deployed. 0 or 1. (def=1)

Well I tried the deployfire index 0 since the weapon is primary, but the unit(s) just didn't deploy (no cursor or anything). Should i try making the deployfire index 1 or will I have to do something else?

*sigh* newbies

look at the code for deploying units!

; DeployFire = This unit can fire when deployed. (def=no)
; DeployFireWeapon = Index of weapon to fire while deployed. 0 or 1. (def=1)
; DeployTime = time, in minutes, to deploy or undeploy [if this object can do so]
; UndeployDelay = The time it takes before a unit automatically undeploys. (def=-1)
; DeployToFire = The vehicle must deploy before it can fire (def=no)?

And for infantry the infantry sequesnce must have lines to tell which frames to use for deploying.
