Artillery for mappers

[Bleeder91[NL]]

Artillery is a pack of stationary weapons that can be placed inside any map you're building. You can encroach to operate it. Alt fire zooms in, while primary fire unleashes a volley of whatever you want. You can crouch/switch weapon to let go if enemies come in to close. Also the weapons are limited to certain degrees, so you can't fire at everything around you, but almost everything is editable in the class.

I'm still looking for better models, since the normal meshes look kinda lame when sitting on a barrel

Pack now contains:
- Machinegun.
- Rocket Launcher.
- Multi Turret (Instant-hit bullets or projectiles).
- Sniper Rifle.
- FlameThrower.

Things I might do:
- Add ammo?
- Make them take damage and be able to break?

Weapons I might add:
- ?

Suggestions/ideas appreciated.

Looks cool.

Two questions:

1. Can you attach any weapon to it? Or is it not a modular turret system?

2. Would it be possible to make versions that certain scripted pawn can use? (ex. any scripted pawn who stands in radius automatically mans it, meaning you can use a trigger to have skaarj warrior walk up to it and use it)

[Bleeder91[NL]]

1. Nope, can't change the weapon in-game, but if you know how to make normal weapons you can subclass the baseactor though, it has functions like the normal Weapon class (TraceFire, ProjectileFire and such). I've got some preset turrets and one that you can give either instant-hit or your own projectiles.
2. I might be able to do that, dunno how they will react to it. I'll try some things out.

Not work with UT99 ?

There is a 'script' pack that has turret type weapons in it: NBSpecials2

I have a link to it on my site (both my site and this file are hosted by Oldunreal - big thanks).

http://www.oldunreal.com/gatherstone/sb_unreal/nbspecials2.zip

A tutorial is also included in the zip.

[Bleeder91[NL]]

Sucky cannons. Too much work, mine are place-n-play. No hassle.

[Hellkeeper]

Nice work. Good concept. Poor cows.

[Bleeder91[NL]]

I can probably do the same with some UT weapons. Never did anything for UT but it's worth a try I guess.

[medor]

summon works under UT
-but not my custom crosshairs
-when we take the weapon we can not turn back .as it is glued. [smiley=grin.gif]

[Bleeder91[NL]]

- Ah yes, crosshairs won't work, since you put your weapon away. I think I'll add a display in front of the weapon once you man it.
- Tried crouching/switching weapon? Also, was this online or in singleplayer?

[Buster]

Hey Bleeder. I didn't post the NBSpecials2 link as a competition. I posted the link to share knowledge. Maybe there's something in one script that can help or inspire in the creation of another. A little thing called growth.

crouching/switching work all two
offline...singleplayer

cool stuff. Also you can make some meshes in UnrealED 2.1 convert them into SM and use them as turret, turret equipment etc. By the way could I test it and use it in project??

[Bleeder91[NL]]

I suck at making meshes, but if anyone could supply me with some then by all means Sure you can use it. if anybody is planning to sublcass btw, save it in a different package 'cuz I might be updating this one once in a while.

[Xoleras]

Is it just me or is the download link blank?

[Skywolf]

sweet might be helpfull for a map pack i am planning to make (when i got a new pc because of long rebuild times )

can you make bot support?

[Buster]

Here's an idea for the Sniper Rifle.

Instead of having a mounted rifle that a player walks up to and uses, how about a rifle that can simulate using a folding bi-pod to stabilize it. Greater accuracy and maybe knockdown power at the cost of a limited targeting arc.

One of the things that I think Unreal could benefit from is the ability to fire a weapon from a prone position. It could have some interesting results. Maybe even a disadvantage too. Like firing the 8-ball from a prone position and blowing your face off.

Anyways, using the 'feign death' for something useful would be nice. Maybe in combination with 'mounting' a weapon.

Xoleras: The link works for me.

links broken / firefox/chrome give blank page / cant download

[Buster]

These other links are found on the page you seem to not be able to see:

They are links to the same file on different DL sites, like 2Share and Putlocker. Maybe one of them will work for you.

[Xoleras]

The entire multiupload.nl site is blank for me.

Edit: Thanks for the new link.

Meh you mean lying down and shooting? That'd be nice indeed, disadvantage would be that you can't look all around or move (no crawling animation XD). But the only way for that to work would be intercepting the player's feigndeath() function, at least that's the only way I can come up with.
Can 227 do that? Cuz I don't think that would take me that long to make work, I already got the basic script.

Btw, first post updated with a second link.

[Buster]

Yup. Lying down is being in a prone position. Not being able to look around easily is what I meant by "limited targeting arc." Sorry about the use of military jargon.

At least I didn't use stuff like OP, LP and FFP (observation post, listening post and final firing position). There is a difference to all 3. Sorta. LoL

As for not being able to look around easily from a prone position, NO PROBLEM. One of the things I don't like about a lot of the FPS games is a player being able to swing around and quickly aim behind while being prone. It's so phony. All the work put into a game for realism, and one thing like that can wreck the whole illusion.

Just one of my pet peeves about most FPS designs.

This will fit fine in my new MH map

Thanks . Before this weekend I'll send you meshes of turrets.

[Dozey]

Hey Bleeder I've noticed that artillery can't be attached to mover... Will you refix it in upcoming new version??
