I often have small questions that I don't feel deserve a thread of their own, and I don't think I'm alone. A thread like this could be useful and make sure the forum doesn't get clogged up.

To start us off:
Would it be possible to make a Guardian PD-style beam weapon where each offset beam fires in turn, like alternating barrels on a projectile weapon?

[silentstormpt]

On the *.weapon file:

Code

"barrelMode":"ALTERNATING", # or LINKED. whether barrels fire at the same time or alternate.

On the CSV file:
adding a tiny "burst delay" to make it fire once every X.X seconds

[Cycerin]

I tried that, but it doesn't look like barrelMode does anything in this case. Maybe it only works on projectile-type weapons?

[Alex]

Yeah, beams ignore the "barrelMode" setting. To answer the original question: not possible.

Is there any possibility to make a way to allow the creation of minigun lasers? Pretty much an assault chain gun but with lasers?

Like a burst PD chain gun?

Well i made a "blaster" cannon out of it on Star Treker, theres quite a few on alot a mods out there, you just create a really cool white (and long) projectile then add some color glow effects and "fake" a laser blast

Can't right now - only projectile weapons can be animated. But, oh, why not - actually a pretty simple change, just added it. A beam gatling gun is just too cool a concept to pass up.

LOOOOOL       Alex you ARE kid (inside  )

[CrashToDesktop]

Wait, we can have a beam gatling gun?  Like shooting beams from different spots each time it fires?

[Alex]

No. But it can now have an animated barrel, a la the Assault Chaingun or the Thumper.

[CrashToDesktop]

Damn.

Still has it's usefulness, though, I suppose.

[Sproginator]

Alex.

Spoiler

I love you

Can it also rapid fire too? Like a burst delay of 0.05 and a small spread?
