1. Is there a way to make a weapon that launches you in the air when shot down... like some anti gravity weapon? How?

2. Is there a way to make a weapon that spawns a turret or something of sorts when shot? How?

3. Where could I find something free which would help me edit C/C++ programs? I've been looking for months.

4. Is there a way to attach a invincible turret of some sort to a character (not serverside... just LE), but doesn't block the character's view or range of shooting? How?

5. How do you put in more than two weapons to a character? (for LE in objects.ddb, not maps), I can't find a script to do that?

That's all my questions. I may sound n00bish when I'm asking these, but I'm just curious. Most of the questions is for a new mod I'm making for singleplayer. Surprised

Surprised

Thanks if you help.

Yes, just set the recoil really high.

Not sure about that. Maybe making the projectile of this weapon the model of the turret?

Not really a Ren Mod question but Visual Studio Express editions do C/C++ and they're free.

Add a bone to the characters bone somewhere to spawn this turret. AR's veterancy script does the same thing.

Not quite sure about the last one...

1. Thanks.

2. I want the turret to work without character's control.

3. I know. Can you post a link nongoogle related? Google doesn't work for me some how. :/

4. Is that possible to do with LE?

Thanks for your help, Merovingian.

The recoil thing doesn't work. I'm wanting it to work with characters, not vehicles. The recoil only stretches the person's arms really far back. Dont Get It

Dont Get It

Edit: Apologies for the double post. IT didn't let me edit my second post.

I would, for the turret (2) when the person deploys a beacon, it create a turret and disarmbs the beacon.

google for Microsoft Visual Studio

If you attach a script to the player, and use a fast running timer. You could create and move the turret.

I don't know about the duel weild, i think Jerad made a script for this?

I'm not very good when it comes to scripts. Can you give instructions?

When I meant to have more than one weapons, I mean at startup. I can only find primary and secondary, and I can't find a script that'll do this.

Apparently I did have that. But it didn't let me edit dlls, plus it's expired. :/ Is there anything that can edit DLL's?

Basicly put you can't edit DLL files without hex, and to hex edit it you need to know hex.

If you're requireing to edit any .dll file you need to get the source to it. Scripts.dll is free source and is shipped with every release jonwill does. Anything else you would need to find the creator and get the source from him.

Dang. When I get the source from him, how do I compile it? Is there any program other than Visual Studios?

Yes but i don't know of it. Yahoo! search for C++ compilers.

Visual Studio Express Editions are free and they don't run out. I've had the VB version for 2 years now, with no problems.

Add the script m00_grantPowerup_Created, and set the parameter to the preset name. For objects.ddb mods you are probably limited to existing powerup presets.

Oh I see! I didn't realise the registration was free! Blush

Do I PM Jonwil for the source, or do I get it from somewhere?

Just for your knowledge, Visual Studio has a Hex Editor in it. I just can't remember where to find it or how to get to it. When I find it again I'll tell you how. I'm not quite sure if the Express versions have it though.

yay! Thanks people. I finally opened the files and stuff. Surprised

Surprised

So how do I compile the modified files into scripts.dll?

Edit: Now can you people answer 1 and 2?

Quote:

1. Is there a way to make a weapon that launches you in the air when shot down... like some anti gravity weapon? How?

2. Is there a way to make a weapon that spawns a turret or something of sorts when shot? How?

For one, I'm wanting to make some kind of jetpack, so when you press spacebar, you go in the air, and when you let go, you start to fall. Anyone?

For two, I saw a tutorial for this, but somehow, it didn't work.

1) can't be done as far as i know.

for the jetpack, you could use Toggle_Fly_Mode and attach a script that lowers the players Z posistion when they are in the air.

I can't explain these (too busy), im sure there are quite a few people that can.

Number 1 can be done, just needs a bit of fidilling.

To compile in VC++ select the build option and then build blah blah.

Mabe if you create an invisible "box" at your feet. then if you attack it, it shoots you in the air EG: (Commands->SetPosition() ). Then restores the "box" to full health (rember the box must follow you around). You could detect what gun it was too.

It's all pretty simple and can be done server side. If you know C++ you should be able to create a script to do it Wink

:/ Have you read the other posts? I just got the program today, and I know nothing! It's going to take me a long time to learn and get use to the C++ enviroment unless I find several good tutorials, go to college, or get a book about C++. But all those would still take too long. I need some kind of personal teacher.
