Baked Ham 1 Posted March 24, 2019 i tried attachTo, and tried many memoryPoints, none of them can make the object rotate and move perfectly with the weapon while the unit is running... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarogahtyp 1104 Posted March 25, 2019 AFAIK from my investigations in 2016 there is no memory point or a similar thing which can be used to get a position on ur weapon where you could start from. The only way I found these days was a complex algorithm which calculates that position backwards. I don't understand the algorithm nowdays but maybe you are able to extract the needed information from it. The important variable of the script is _perfect_start which is the start point of a beam which is recalculated all the time to get the weapon movement into account: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could make a weapon attachment instead maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baked Ham 1 Posted March 26, 2019 but there is something confusing me after that post, why I can get weapon direction from unit but can't get the weapon itself XD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baked Ham 1 Posted March 26, 2019 then what is the selectionName - "weapon" attached to exactly? should be the weapon on the back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baked Ham 1 Posted March 26, 2019 I want to make a gopro gun camera actually, but the camera doesn't cooperate very well, cant find a proper position to attach to.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarogahtyp 1104 Posted March 26, 2019 did you try to strip down the last script I posted in the above given thread? It should calculate the position on weapon you just need to strip the drawing part and use the calculated position to set your camera position all the time. A simple one time attachTo will not work.

Well as I said you can just make it a attachment for the gun instead of a mod. attachTo will be terrible performance and network load wise anyway. If you want to also stream the video, you can just stream from the players head I think. Or slightly infront of his chest. Don't think anyone will notice much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baked Ham 1 Posted March 26, 2019 3 hours ago, sarogahtyp said: true! ok then... seems like this is the way.. i still wonder how exactly a weapon fire its laser, i've been looking for some solutions in those config file, but i found nothing since i have no experience in modding, i saw some functions that contain sort of grenade explosion effect, what i don't understand is how they execute and have those parameters defined...
