New Tracers

[Danny960 10]

Hi,

I'm sure you all have seen this:

* Improved: Tracers visible in all directions.

This means when some machinegunner starts shooting at you, you can see his bullets flying towards you (which is great). But I'd like to make it so every soldier has tracers, not only machinegunners. I tried Pistolfied's Tracers, they worked but only the old way, so I couldn't see them flying at me, only from me.

Is there any way I can make this happen?

Sorry for my english.

Not all guns shoot tracers, go play battlefield bad company 2 if you want to see star wars.

Dont listen to him it must be sunday where he lives.

Usually the tracers are only for a certain kind of weapon (group). Make sure the enemy forces have the weapons that are supported. If they dont have it you could give the weapons to them through a config script that does something like this addweapon this addmagazine etc. etc.

If its a pre made mission > Unpack it with UnPBO and open it in the editor and add something like you see below to the unit in question, hope it helps!

Example script:

removeAllWeapons this;

this addMagazine "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";

this addWeapon "SVD_CAMO";

this addMagazine "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";

this addMagazine "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";

this addMagazine "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";

this addMagazine "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";

this addMagazine "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";

this addMagazine "PipeBomb";

this addMagazine "Laserbatteries";

this addWeapon "Laserdesignator";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addWeapon "M9SD";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD";

this addMagazine "PG7VL";

this addWeapon "RPG7V";

this addMagazine "SmokeShellRed";

this addWeapon "NVGoggles";

You don't need to be such a prick when you obviously don't know what you're talking about. :j:

Pistolfied's Tracers indeed work, my bad. I didin't see them because guerrillas and takis don't use them. Thanks everyone.

The main problem with tracers is shown here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=101091

No matter what, but the fact is Tracers are not visible if they are flying direct towards you.

It has been clearly explained in the Arma 2 OA Manual. Neither this patch allows that to happen, it says improved as in previously the tracers were not visible in certain angle so it was made as an improvement.

Do you know......

Tracer ball are fitted at the end of the trajectory.

You may not see them if they are coming directly at you (which means the bullet should be striking you in the eye), but you now see them when they are flying just over your head. I was so pinned down by a Tunguska's tracers that if I went from prone to kneeling, he shot me in the head. That's good enough for me!
