  • Weapon 1: current automatic fire rate
  • Weapon 2: 8 round salvo in semi-automatic "bursts"
  • Weapon 3: 38 Round salvo for when you want some major @$$ kicking :p
You mean Weapon 3 for mini JDAM? ZOMG that would pwn everything! Make all the INF curl up in a ball of cowardice.

In other words, YES!!! That would be so awesome. But I think it can be achieved with quick Salvos of 8 (or however many it is) rockets. I think we need a military adviser to come in here.

I'l try and tweak the files in PRSP to get you a video of the possible results. Just wait till I get on my Windows and stop loitering on the forums :p

Get on your Windows? You're running Hackintosh? AND QUIT LOITERING u lazy Canadian. We NEED to see that video ASAP. You will get e-cookies.

British Cannon on the Apache fires 20rounds bursts and fire off the dumb missles in pairs

dont know how the other systems work though

Ahh, I miss understood, I thought you said 8 rounds in one go rather than a burst. A burst would have a effect.

Would be easy. You could give the rocket pods semi, burst, and full auto firing modes just like assault rifles. It'd be a total of one line of code per firing mode.

^ Well, more like just copying and pasting 100 lines of code, then tweaking 1 line of code per, but yea, if that's what you mean :p . Unless you can find a better solution...

I'm still trying to get it to work in-game on prsp, but I"m kinda teaching myself in the process, so it might take a while :|

Nvm, I've found the problem, I was tweaking the US_Apache code, but I tried it ingame with the GB_Apache :p

I'm not sure what the exact setup is that you're attempting. I suppose you're duplicating the weapon and changing the characteristics of it.

I mean all you really need to do is set the fire rate to 1200, have semi, burst, and auto firing modes.

Yea, though I"m having a bit of trouble... I'll have to show my code so far in the PRSP forums to get an answer to it though.

ROFL, I haven't posted or been active in PR for a LONG time but this was just gold. :lol:



Anyways, I agree with the OP and was wondering about this since patches long ago...

I think that Rockets should fire in pairs. 1 left, 1 right per click.

OPK has a Hind with 64 full auto rockets, its owns :twisted:
