tell if a paticular unit has fired.

[paulytrick 10]

Hi all, is there a way I can tell if a specific unit has discharged his weapon?

I want to use it in a cut scene to make one of the actors respond to enemy fire verbally.

After searching the forum for something similar I think this would be the best way to do this instead of looking for bullets nearby through a constant loop which would almost certainly have an impact on performance.

Thanks for any help,

Paul.

A workaround could be to just play the sound and then the voice.

Hi STGN, Thanks for the answer. I never thought of this and I will use it as a last resort but, I have the camera set up in such a way that the player will be able to see the projectile (in this case an RPG) and I don't really want to lose that.

Is there some way I can set up a unit and FORCE it to fire without using the dofire command maybe through animation?

Thanks for your help,

Paul.

You should use eventHandler "fired". See here for more info:

It'll execute every time the person fires, so you should remove the eventHandler after one shot (if you wish to), using this command:

Thanks Rellikki, I'll have a go at that. I'll let you know how I get on.

Jey Rellikki, Just tried the event handler thingy and it works like a dream.

It's gonna be great hearing the shout of 'SNIPER FIRE! GET IN COVER, GO! GO! GO!" and 'RPG, ROOF TOPS, 4 O'CLOCK' :)

Cheers,

Paul.
