Got lotz'a question.

[FRain]

I'm no noob to tagging, but I can do all the hard stuff and not the easy stuff. Got lots of questions.

How do I make a gun more accurate? I was playing a build of my beta with some friends and Mr. Con said that he said it (AR) was overpowered because it took one clip of spray-and pray to kill with the AR. He said it should be 1 clip of accurate aiming. Well, how do I make it aim better?
did you try decreasing the error angles under the projectile sub-header of your .weapon tag? - Fixed.

And on the contrary to that question, how do I make a projectile bigger? How do I make it less accurate?

How do I make it (projectile) e-splode at the end? It took a skilled person to aim with my spartan laser.
Check out how the detonations are set up in the rocket launcher's rocket.projectile tag - Fixed

How do you make your crosshair turn red when it's farther away? I've noticed a difference.
try the reticule settings in the .weapon tag. They may be 0 only for default. - Fixed

My spartan laser really explodes when it hits the ground. I don't want it to LOOK like it is a spartan-laser-rocket-launcher cross, so I want the explosion to be smaller. How can I do that?

I try compiling my H3 SMG animations and I cant seem to compile them. They give me an error. There was something that L33T / F33T / CAD had released with IK about exporting something... Where do I export and how? And = CAD, if you're reading this please check your private messages.


What animations go to what in the plasma pistol... I'm so confused.. I've got overheated and overheating.... overcharge and overcharge again.... HUH? - Urgent - Fixed



Well, that about wraps it up. If I have any more questions I'll post it here so I dont make 20 trillion threads.

You don't make the projectile's "bigger," you make them less accurate. See above.

Conscars, stop hogging all the questions :gonk:

w00t im skilled!

I killed (Either you or conscars) with the sl and you hada sniper :-D

[FRain]

Hay, but I killed you while you were in a hog.

[HDoan]

You guys forgot about little old me :'( and your laser shoots a little bit too the right of the crosshair

[FRain]

Yep, that's all fixed now. The spartan laser now LOLE-PLODES when fired. Just got to fix out a few bugs and add in weapons (carbine, porta MG, beam rifle), and we could test again. Not soon though, could you please answer the animation question?

[bleach]

Don't forget the other stuff I mentioned in the PM. In Halo PC modding, I decreased the spread of fire for a weapon and it becomes accurate. I remember getting owned with the sniper by Conscars.

[FRain]

Any info on the animation help? And, also, new question added.

[bleach]

you can try to make the explosion invisible, it was said in the other thread by HDoan 'bubble shield'.
What should I use to IM you?

[FRain]

Still need help with animations. Gnite people.

[Inferno]

well i think FP animations are self explanitory.
just read the name of the anim and it will tell u wat it does.

3rd person animation... well thats a different story.

[FRain]

DUH! Read the question closer. It has like First Person Overheat/Overheating/overheating again... Which one is which?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

First-Person Overheating - Overheating initial (start) animation.
First-Person Overheated - Overheating looping animation.
First-Person Overheating-Again - Readying an overheated weapon.
First-Person O-H-Exit - Overheating final (exit) animation.

[FRain]

What about O-H-S enter?
