How is it possible to detach/hide/remove the scope on the R700?

I saw it once in a frag vid of someone.

Edit the weapon model.

Is there somewhere a tut that explains how to do that?

And isn't it possible with something like this:

self HidePart( "scope", "weapon_remington700_mp" );

or

self Detach( "scope", "weapon_remington700_mp" );

Only way you can take it off is if it's a separate entity from the gun itself.

And is that the case? Or not?

Don't know, you'll have to look at the models and find out.

If you don't know why would you say the only way is to edit the model? You sounded pretty sure of yourself.

And it's not the only way, you do it in script using ShowPart/HidePart like BobboB found, or in Asset Manager on the weapon entries:


It cost less memory to have one model with all the attachments and use AssetManageer to hide specific parts, rather than have separate entity models with different attachments each.

Then by all means, help away. I have no problem with it, but I do have a problem with you questioning my motives, you don't know me, therefore you can't judge me.

By all means, i might be wrong, but if i remeber, you dont have a tag for the sight, only for the weapon, the bolt and the clip. You also have a tag_brass and tag_flash, for the shell ejection and fx.

The scope would be in the "weapon" tag.




edit

Anyway, i just exported the file, and its all in one piece so i dont think there would be a way of using a script to do it.

Anyway i have attached a model_export of what i exported, i did this in maya 6 so it proberally wont work as cod4 is maya 8, but try it anyway.

If you get a error and it says something like "cant find mtl_remmingtonr700.iwi"

This means that it cant find the image file, so look in your iw_"//" and find a file that should be called "weapon_remmington_r700_col" And then rename that to what ever error name you were getting then use assman to make that to a standard image thats not in editor then it should work =)

Hope This helped.
