Is it possible to have a vehicle weapon that deals a little damage to both the armor and hull at the same time? And if so how would I do it? I'm trying to make a new vehicle weapon or two, maybe in time I will tie it into the electrical tree to give it its mg weapon. What I have so far. Code: "Armor Piercing Gatling Gun" { "Name" "Armor Piercing Gatling Gun" //name given when selecting weapons "HUD Name" "AP Gatling" //name displayed in the weapon area of the vehicle HUD "Description" "A large gatling gun that deals damage to both a vehicles armor and its hull, though very little" //description given when selecting weapons "Icon" "vehicles/gui/weapons/mg_large" //icon drawn in the GUI "HUD Icon" "vehicles/gui/weapons/mg" "Size" "3" //number of slots required when selecting weapons "Type" "0" //0=machine gun, 1=tank cannon, 2=artillery cannon, 3=missile launcher, 4=grenade launcher, 5=aircraft bomb bay "Cost" "150" //cost of this weapon added onto vehicle cost "Team" "ALL" //team that can use this "NF" or "IMP" "Research" "" //name of research item that must be researched before using "Sound Firing" "Vehicle_DUHMG.Fire" "Sound Impact" "" "Sound Reloading" "" "Damage Type" "APBullet" "Ammo Type" "1" //for mguns only, 0 = nonarmor penetrating (no effect on armored vehicles), 1 = armor penetrating (hurts armored vehicles), 2 = explosive (hurts vehicles and has a radius damage around it based on 'explosion radius'" "Damage" "4" //damage done by projectile "Speed" "1000" //speed of projectile "Gravity" "0" //effects of gravity on the projectile, only for projectiles "Heat" "0.6" //heat added per shot fired (100 total heat added to vehicle puts it in an overheated status).

Another question, do tracers follow cannons? I wanna say they don't, so if not, how would I get a cannon or even a missile to be followed by a trail of some sort?
hey major tom if u make an mg for electrical, i suggest like emp bullets or something like that, it does damage to the plates and the inner system what represents the hull.
Also, I need to know why my lazor is attacking way off center. I fire it and where it hits (or at least where the explosion occurs) is 5 miles away from the center of the crosshair and the cannon/missile sprite. Maybe it goes too fast? Code: "Lazor Beam" { "Name" "Lazor Beam" //name given when selecting weapons "HUD Name" "Lazor Beam" //name displayed in the weapon area of the vehicle HUD "Description" "This weapon uses a large amount of mirrors, lenses, and a gas medium to create a lazor beam which does a large amount of damage to the target with pinpoint accuracy." //description given when selecting weapons "Icon" "vehicles/gui/weapons/cn_large" //icon drawn in the GUI "HUD Icon" "vehicles/gui/weapons/cn" "Size" "3" //number of slots required when selecting weapons "Type" "3" //0=machine gun, 1=tank cannon, 2=artillery cannon, 3=missile launcher, 4=grenade launcher, 5=aircraft bomb bay "Cost" "160" "Team" "ALL" //team that can use this "NF" or "IMP" "Research" "Rail Gun" //name of research item that must be researched before using "Sound Firing" "Vehicle_RG.Fire" "Sound Impact" "Vehicle_RG.Impact" "Sound Reloading" "" "Damage Type" "Missile" "Ammo Type" "0" //for mguns only, 0 = nonarmor penetrating (no effect on armored vehicles), 1 = armor penetrating (hurts armored vehicles) "Damage" "15" //damage done by projectile "Speed" "15000" //speed of projectile "Gravity" "0" //effects of gravity on the projectile, only for projectiles "Heat" "2" //heat added per shot fired (100 total heat added to vehicle puts it in an overheated status).

That does this?
Yes. If things go too fast, they start flying all over the place. No. He has no idea what he's talking about.
"Speed" "15000" is the problem. 3600 is about the max safe speed that projectiles can travel. Any faster and the physics stop working.
