flamer as standard weapon?
« on: May 21, 2008, 04:13:25 pm »
I was wondering if it is possible to turn the flamer into a standard weapon that you can also choose in-game.
I tried changing the bullet type of a standard weapon to flame but all it does is show a few little flames when you shoot against the wall.
And if it is possible, how do I lower the damage so that the shot at person doesn't die after a few secs?

PS: I'm sure there is a perfectly easy answer to my question but I can be a bit noobish sometimes
PPS: Sorry if I'm double posting, I skipped through the forum but I didn't see anyone post such a question

Actually, it's not possible to make the flamer a primary. That's one of the modding features we've been screaming for for a while, now.

Yes, there is a perfectly easy answer to your question: it has been said by MM that there won't be ANY new weapons. I think that it re flamer as well as any other weapon.

I have wanted this for ages. However I have asked around for scriptkiddies to make a script that spawns a flamegod by a player whenever they spawn or something of the like. I heard it is possible but no one has ever done it. If someone does this I would host a 5 slot DM flamer server when I started my new job.

Well, I'd like it a lot if you can make any weapon really work properly, like making Rambo Bow selectable, Flamer selectable etc...

But the only possible way is probably by using scripting. Make it this way: Within a certain time limit after picked a weapon, you can type a command ONCE like /weap flamer to give you a flamer. After using the command once, you can't use it again until you are killed. If you did not use the command within the time limit, you won't be able to use it until you die.

And of course, a /throw command, because the Flamer / Bow simply CANNOT be thrown away. Yes, the Flamer can be offline, but online it will never work.

Well that's kinda disappointing.
Thanx anyways  :)
oh and PS: as for the rambo bow, you can change the ammo type to flame arrow, change the interface icon and the skin and i guess the animation, too if you're up for it, so I guess that isn't really an issue...

That's a very easy script.

You need to DL the dedicated server, and put it in the scripts folder.

No, the Flame bullet type doesn't work properly.

It shoots flames all right but the Flamer is the only weapon slot tied to the flames-series of sprites.
