Shooting PCOs

[BotHunter]

Hey all! Is there anyway to shoot a PCO without automatically being inside of it? (Please tell me if you need a better explenation )

Thanks!

EDIT:
Also Without using Spawners.

ObjectTemplate.autofire 1

it needs the initial fire to start it.
This code is not very good, probably due to the fact it is not needed so wasn't worked on. I have tried and tried to get this code to work on my "auto gun", a wespe artillery where all that has to be done is changing where it aims. It will only fire 3 shots before it stops, and it shoots, even when it is dead!
the gun will keep trying to shoot, even with overheat. It needs to be started, and doesn't last long enough. It doesn't work well, but it's there.

Ahh. I think I was not very clear. What I meant was when you shoot a PCO As a projectile, It automatically puts you inside of it. Like the Wasserfall rocket. So I was wondering if there was a way I could keep it from doing that.

make a projectile, and add a spawner to the projectile. Here is the script to my "air mail" cannon, a priest that shoots shermans!!!

Code: Select all

rem *** airmailCannon ***
ObjectTemplate.create FireArms airmailCannon
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo TankFireArmInfo
ObjectTemplate.loadSoundScript Sounds/PriestCannon.ssc
ObjectTemplate.geometry Priest_Cannon2_M1
ObjectTemplate.aiTemplate ShermanMainGun
rem -------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate e_MuzzPriest

rem *** airmailtankSpawner ***
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner airmailtankSpawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 Sherman
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 Sherman
ObjectTemplate.holdObject 1
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 20

ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 30

SENDING AIR MAIL!!!

Thanks!

Welcome!

Oh yes, holdObject is the key code, in the spawner template. So instead of the projectile spawning PCOs and them dropping to the ground, the PCO is "glued" to the projectile until a player enters it and drives forward.

Well at first I had problems getting the spawner thing to work. But I figured that out.
