Shooting from vehicles

[ebns72 0]

Is this possible? I mean like shooting from a helicopter or a boat while sitting down. This would be great for mp games if it could be done. Has it been done before, and could it be done if not?

engine limit so no

It can be done if the vehicle is stationary and you are just standing on it as opposed to being "in cargo". See BAS' MH-47E.

There was some talk a while ago of having the vehicle detect which gun a soldier is carrying when he enters the vehicle, and have that somehow transfered to the helicopter's turret, which would be the soldier.

I don't think that talk went anywhere.

*Sigh* BIS did so much with what they had, and yet are still so far behind. When you see what DF:BHD was able to do, I can't imagine what BIS was thinkling. It just makes Ferret's eyes bleed.

Probably one of the most discussed limitations of OFP there is.....and still no solution, so....no

considering the OFP engine started coding in 1997 and that the DF engine is totally different engine.

Seriously, that's like saying LLO THE WOLF3D DEVEOLOPERZ MISSED OUT ON GRAPHIX L@@K AT DOOM 3 LLOL!

Any chance of remembering which specific addon this was?

Think he is talking about the UK pack but I don't remember anything like this

VBS1 has it...

*pokes and prods* hint hint hint. OFP2 needs this. I would quite enjoy a good driveby in OFP.

Maybe it can work.

It's the Landrovers and one of the APC's.

If you get in the turret you have the option of detaching the weapon.

If you get out you then have a GPMG. You can reattach it.

Yeah, there's a glitch with those vehicles that the FN MAG (same as M240 I'm pretty sure) the selection is invisible when they spawn...

small note about the OFP engine, cobared to the DF engin

in DF (any of the DF games) u cant drive anything, you cant fly anything, you can gun, u can ride in back.

in OFP u can fly, drive, gun, command, u can walk drive shoot u can make your own mission you can sit on a beach and enjoy the sunset, you can have a part on everon you can blwo the hell out of a tank on nogova. u can fly to the highest cloud u can sail to the farthest sea.

in DF u are limited to the lil square map they have provided for you. approx 1/10th the size of everon.

OFP may not be the most modern game engin. . .but it certialy is the best one out there. every single game has limitations. OFP is no exception. but the possibilites far outweigh the limitations.

I hear you Pappy. For the most part I agree. But of all the things BIS had to screw up on, why that?

[hardrock 1]

Maybe they didn't even think that ANYBODY ever would start making addons. Or at least not as many as now, look at other games. There's maybe one or two groups that are making a mod, provided with some tools by the game developer, that's it. How could BIS know that 3 years later that many people were making addons, trying everything to exploit every possibility in OFP?

I think originally they wrote the engine for their needs. And they simply didn't need multiple gunners, so why had they had any reason to implement it? Probably they had decided otherwise if they'd known what's going on with their game three years later

Because it was hard to do, too much work to do, and wouldn't make that much difference in their opinion; but mainly because it was hard to do.

Wrong check DF Joint Operations

But surly with this multigun positions script thingy it may be posible, i mean you could have gun positions on a blackhawk that are men sitting out the door. if someone could make a script and animations for it so that it picks up the weapon you are currently using so you could point it out the door?

just a thought i'm probably going to get shouted down though
