Look at the Apocalypse/Gattling stuff?

Also, go here and get XGamer's art(md).ini guide. It specifically mentions this.

just use Burst=2 and give a Y (horizontal) offset. the second burst fires with negative Y offset.

Code:

[RAIDER]   ; land raider
Voxel=yes
Remapable=yes
Cameo=BFRTICON
AltCameo=BFRTUICO
PrimaryFireFLH=-9,-65,5
AlternateFLH0=-9,65,5 ;second sponson

A quick copy&paste; the last two lines define the firing points, with the first shot coming from the primaryfireflh, and the second from alternateflh0.
Obviously this only works on a burts=2 weapon, i have no clue how it would work when you'd use higher bursts.

You don't need AlternateFLHx unless you are an OpenTopped transport.
The first shot in a Burst= comes from F,L,H , the second from F,-L,H, the third from F,L,H again, and so on.

Thanks for telling me, i had it this way since i started with a battlefortress with diffirent weapons, and later modified that art entry when i had a voxel.

I can't test right now, but maybe you know; would the alternateflhx still work, assuming it is diffirent from F,-L,H

As I said, AlternateFLHx is only used by OpenTopped transports, to determine the FLH of the passengers.

Whatever happened to SecondaryFireFLH=bla,bla,bla?
