Yeah, maybe a little impatient. We have to sleep sometime.

The way BST did this was through iscript editing.

1. Open Arsenal III Weapon editor and set the Fragmentation Grenade's behavior to Halo (Spin). Save it as weapons.dat.

2. Load IceCC and decompile the Vulture's animation by selecting the Vulture in the Units tab and saving it as Vulture.txt.

3. Under where it says VultureGndAttkInit change the code to this:

CODE

VultureGndAttkInit:
wait 1
attack25 1
attack25 1
attack25 1
attack25 1
attack25 1
gotorepeatattk
goto VultureGndAttkToIdle

4. Press the Compiler tab and click Add. Select the Vulture animation you decompiled.

5. Compile it as iscript.bin. Make sure "Merge with default iscript.bin" is checked.

6. Add the units.dat file to your MPQ under the path arr\units.dat and the iscript.bin under scripts\iscript.bin.

Enjoy.

What happened? Well, in IceCC attack25 is a command that tells the Vulture to attack. 1 means that the Vulture will attack with it's Ground weapon.

Setting the Fragmentation Grenade's behavior to Halo wasn't required, but it makes the shots spread out so you can see it fired 5 grenades.

Hope that helps.

Where do i put the attack25's?

ADDITION:
and this is involved too

In your case you want to use attack26 because the Hydralisk uses the same animation for air and ground. Put it in the HydraliskGndAttkRpt.

I did that but it still dint work....

Report, edit, etc...Posted by SirBean on 2005-12-19 at 20:07:44

Are you sure it's not working? If you're just repeating attack26, the hydra's only going to play it's attack animation and sound only once, but there'll still be multiple attacks. The best way to tell is to have it attack something and look at its health go down. It should go down much faster than normal.

If you want a rapid fire look to the hydra's attack, then you have to repeat this block of code:

playsnd 64 # Bullet\SpoogHit.wav
sprol15 332 0 # NeedleSpines (thingy\spooge.grp)
attack26
wait 1

Do it like 5 or 6 times, and you'll have machinegun hydras!

how do u get the average appears on target attack to spread out?

Halo (spin) causes it to crash

This would be good to know. My attempt to give a Battlecruiser a scattershot weapon with C-10 Canister explosion animation made Starcraft go belly up and give me a polite little error message. I want my flack cannon...

There is a way to do that, I can't think of it right now. For example, look at the Gauss Rifle in BSTRhino's Terran Doom.

I was thinking of that when i typed it LOL

That's because you can't give the Halo type to an explosion graphic. The graphic has to be able to fly to the target to be valid for the Halo weapon type. There are some other restrictions about how this works, but it's basically that there are 3 types of weapons. There are weapons that fly to their targets, ones that appear on their targets, and special weapons, like melee ones, that don't have a sprite that can be seen(really similar to the appear on target weapons). You can't switch over types or Starcraft will be mean and give you a CBullet error.

well then how did BSTRhino do the scattershot with his marines?
They still had their average gauss rifle...
