Is there a way to have more than 2 weapon on 1 vehicle???

Is there a way to have more than 2 weapon or function on 1 vehicle???
example: Fletcher Driver slot have Cannon (left mouse ), and depth charge, but depth charge is fired by pressing other keys..
and the fletcher driver still can use Artillery support function( right mouse )..

Forgotten Hope uses the W/S keys to allow changing ammunitions in the Flak88 (AA or AP). This is the code you are looking for, as it are two different weapons that can be "switched". You can use any keys you want for this to work (e.g. the Up/Down keys for the ramp of the LCVP)

Alternatively, you can just use any input code you want and e.g. make "Down" drop the depth charges. Disadvantage? You can only have two ammo displays at the same time.

Code: Select all

rem *** Flak18/36GunSelector ***
ObjectTemplate.create RotationalBundle Flak18/36GunSelector
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo Flak18/36GunInfo
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Flak18/36GunAP_Invis
ObjectTemplate.setRotation 0/-22.5/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Flak18/36GunAA_Invis
ObjectTemplate.setRotation 0/22.5/179.999
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.setMinRotation 0/0/-180
ObjectTemplate.setMaxRotation 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.setMaxSpeed 0/0/900000
ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration 0/0/90000000
ObjectTemplate.setInputToRoll c_PIThrottle

It's just a rotational bundle that makes the gun switch between the AP_Invis and the AA_Invis. "InputtoRoll" is set to Throttle (W/S standard). You can use whatever you want.

In addition FH uses three more rot. bundles to make a visual 3D element of the HUD that shows which ammo is currently selected (basically a slider that moves between a scribbled "AA" and "AP" on the gun shield). Quite nifty way to do it, actually.

thanks alot... but i still don't get it how does it works... the two guns will still fire together, where did another projectile go?

So it's possible to make a battlefield 2 style helicopter with a turret and tv guided missiles in the secondary position?

[Senshi]

Sure. Just look at the Wasserfall rocket code, slap that on to the helicopter's gunner position, work around all the bugs and glitches and enjoy your guided missile. However it's "direct control" like the Wasserfall, not the "click where you want missile to go" like in BF2. That is not supported by the engine.

[ERYL]

Cool.

Can the battlefield 2 guidance method be replaced by the BF1942's one?

[Senshi]

Sure. Direct missile control is not that difficult to implement. Just convert the missile into a steerable PCO that you get to control. There are various examples in mods on how to do that (cruise missile stuff, BG42 V1 launcher etc.)

Senshi, you need a gold crown for your profile picture.

I think I don't get that, Swaffy?

He has none.
