Is it possible to simulate tracer gunfire using drop or some other method?

Much appreciate a Yes and How answer

yes it is, but crap i lost myscript i had done a few months back to do this

they were only beta but looked ok, i made a small bullet shaped ball (because objects spin using the drop command making it a ball fixes that prob)

I suppose thats more the bullet rather then the tracer.

I'd like to know the tracer part

what you mean? DO you just want a red tracer or some-thing on the gun? Well thats a config prob... if its to do with some-thing else please explain

You could use the fired eventhandler to trigger a script that creates a tracer every 5th or so shot with createvehicle and sets it at the same position and velocity of the real bullet.

@Trenchfeet

Bullet or tracer - doesnt matter.

I would be intereted in seeing your script if you can find it.

@DanAK47 and SWIFT88

Not real good at this Earth lingo

I am trying to simulate a bullet or tracer.

That travels and impacts.

Standfree, independent

Not just highlight or add to the effect from cfg mgun.

Hard to explain but I think Trenchfeet knows what I mean.

Thanx all, for reply

i might as well get the ball rolling....

Try this in CFG ammo...

add that into the ammo you have

tracerColor[]={1,0.500000,0.00000,1};

that would give you a tracer

plus the model showing while fired could be done in ammo too just by adding this

model = "\??\??.p3d";

if that doesnt work... sorry thats the only way i know how to do what your trying to say...

[DanAK47 1]

Not sure what you want, but I am guessing you want one that lights up the ground around it like in America's Army.

I would just do what I said earlier and attach a "light" vehicle that you would have to make to it as well..

as  i understand it he wants to simulate more gun barrels then just 1.

for eg on a spitfire it has 8 so a tracer every 5 from the barrels would be better then 1 from the nose.

hehe or is that just me wanting a quick fix to this    

edit: spelling etc.............

Give a prize to the man with the green face and smelly feet

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Although simulate is more what I had in mind.

Come to think of it I might sinulate later on tonight.

So whatdoya reckon Trenchfeet, good buddy south of the border. Can you help me out here?
