unlimited ammo for static weapon with custom reloading delay.

[cychou 11]

Hello, i'm trying to add to static weapon (igla, stinger...etc) unlimited ammo with a specific delay between each round fired.

i already know how to add the unlimited ammo for the unit : this addeventhandler ["fired", {(_this select 0) setvehicleammo 1}]

but i need a solution to add a delay between each round fired to limit spamming.

adding additionnal magazine in the unit init line instead of unlimited ammo doesn't reduce the fire rate.

i know that there is the sleep function. but how could i put both (unlimited ammo + sleep) so i can get unlimited ammo with a slow rate of fire.

what would be the correct code ?

ok, after hard time to find something on the forums i found a solution :

the code is put in the unit init (here the Stinger twin launcher static weapon) :

this addEventHandler ["Fired",{[_this select 0,getNumber (configFile/"CfgAmmo"/(_this select 4)/"explosive")] spawn {if (_this select 1==1) then {sleep 12};_this select 0 setVehicleAmmo 0.5}}]

this give unlimited ammo, and add a delay between each round fired.

sleep 12 set the required time in seconds between each round fired.

setVehicleAmmo 0.5 this value must be set to 0.5 in order to maintain a constant delay. if the value is set to 1 the delay will break and the weapon will start to spam fire again..

Hey I use a great script that will Spawn units that will man static weapons that you place down from the editor. The static weapons have unlimited ammo that fire at a normal rate of fire. It also has a function that will respawn the gunner if the man is killed. You can turn that off if you want. I am working on some other stuff that I am having issues and is taking all my time but I will try to post it this weekend if you reply to this post.
