Making a real SMG for infantry

Original Author: Martin Killer

At first you need to work with art.ini, rules.ini & SHP Builder.

This is how I made a submachine gun using a SEAL made by Cboidy888, avalaible for download in Sleipnir Stuff.

1. I have to check a weapon which uses my soldier, it is M60 and we need to modify some things

              

Code

[M60] Damage=7 <- 7 dmg per 1 shot ROF=30 <- it must be same value as in Burst Range=4 Burst=30 <- ammunition in magazine Projectile=InvisibleLow6 <- new projectile, if you want to give him a bullet, of course you can edit old projectile Speed=100 Warhead=SA Report=GIAttack OccupantAnim=UCFLASH

2. Check Warhead of this weapon

              

Code

; general multiple small arms fire [SA] ;DB Changed how Plate interacts with this warhead on 6/6. See also AP warhead. ;Verses=100%,80%,70%,50%,25%,25%,75%,50%,25%,100%,100% Verses=100%,80%,80%,50%,25%,25%,75%,50%,25%,100%,100% InfDeath=1 AnimList=PIFF <- you only have to edit this, replace old PIFFPAFF with PIFF used by Civilian's pistols. Bullets=yes ProneDamage=70%

3. When it's done ,you only need now to modify SHP Sequence. After releasing 1 bullet your soldier changes frames from FireUp to Ready/Guard what looks like that

->

So you need to modify a sequence

              

Code

[SealSequence] Ready=165,1,6 Guard=165,1,6 <- You only change those frames. It uses 1 frame from each direction when he shoots. Also it looks much cooler when he aims his gun everytime :P. Walk=8,6,6 Idle1=56,15,0,W Idle2=71,15,0,E Crawl=86,6,6 Prone=216,1,6 Die1=134,15,0 Die2=149,15,0 FireUp=164,6,6 FireProne=212,6,6 Down=260,2,2 Up=276,2,2 Paradrop=602,1,0 Deploy=57,3,0 Deployed=86,1,6 DeployedFire=212,6,6 Undeploy=64,8,0 Cheer=603,8,0,E Tread=340,6,6 Swim=388,6,6 WetAttack=436,6,6 WetIdle1=484,15,0,S WetIdle2=499,15,0,E WetDie1=514,15,0 WetDie2=529,15,0 Die3=0,1,1 Die4=0,1,1 Die5=0,1,1 Panic=8,6,6

In this sequence you also have deploy frames.

BTW you must remove gun smoke with SHP Builder, and use ANIM tag in rules.ini.

4. And voila, your soldier now have a really good submachine gun without skipping frames from Ready/Guard to FireUp.
