Soldier weapons on tanks/apcs

Recommended Posts

Has anyone managed to get a weapon like the standard m16 to work on a tank or a simularly classed vehicle? I tried adding the weaponslot info from soldier class and adding the correct weapons and magazines, but it just doesn't work. Is there something that I am missing? I know I can mount every kind of weapon onto a soldier, so why can't I put the soldier's gun on a tank?

edit*

nevermind, it works. I had just copied and pasted the weapon slot info from the original config, but I never put in the definitions at the top. it works perfectly smile_o.gif

Could you somehow demonstrate the way it works?

I mean, screenshots or something like that.

I hope im not too demanding wink_o.gif

Does the unit spin around on the tank or does the gun move around? Or have you somehow made the impossible possible?

Well, isn't there a mp-5 on some BAS chopper which the pilot can fire...

Martin also made a Bell (206?) addon with a guy in the door firing a M16/M203. However the weapon, like on the BAS MH-6 Little Bird with the MP5, is floating in the air and basically acts like the door gun in the BIS blackhawks.

But I have yet to see the ability to fire a rifle normally from a vehicle. If that's possible it would be very very cool.

Yes, i am familiar with both of the addons. I was merely wondering if there is a new way to accomplish it. (I guess not?) wink_o.gif

okay, I didn't mean I found a breakthrough, I just meant that I could make it so a soldiers gun would fire from the turret, the model of the gun wasn't on there. The way that I make it look like the soldier is firing his own weapon is to have the gunner's animation pointing his gun, and make sure hideweaponsgunner = false is in the config. This could work on something like a huey so a soldier could be firing his weapon off the side, but it would mean no other turrets on the vehicle.
