thanks go out to:
FattalError & me ( voidsource ).

FattalError made sure this would work on any given singleplayer map.
I focused on getting all the sounds to come from stock sounds,
thus saving extra packaging and filesize.



INSTALLATION

how to get this minigun to work:

A) Download the attached .zip file


1) Place the "_minigun.gsc" in your raw/maps folder.
2) Place the "minigun.csv" in you raw/soundaliases folder.
3) In radiant place a "misc_turret" and check the box that says
"pre-place". Then give it these key/values:

a) weaponinfo/minigun_player_turret
b) targetname/ minigun
c) model/ weapon_minigun
d) Place a pathnode closeby and have it target the turret.


4) Place these lines in the appropriate areas in your mapname.gsc:

a) This line goes before your "main()" funct.
#include maps\_minigun.gsc;

b) This line goes before your "maps\_load::();"
precacheShader( "hud_temperature_gauge" );

c) This line goes after your "maps\_load::();"
run_thread_on_targetname( "minigun", ::minigun_think );

5) Add these to ur zone file:

rawfile,maps/_minigun.gsc
sound,minigun,MAPNAME,all_sp
weapon,sp/minigun_player_turret
material,hud_temperature_gauge
fx,smoke/car_damage_whitesmoke
xanim,minigun_spin_idle
xanim,minigun_spin_loop
xanim,minigun_spin_start

6) Build .ff and run map with dev, developer_script, and cheats.

Any new error that pop up plz feel free to fix them. :)


heres a video preview of what the minigun looks like with everything working on it even the overheating.

ooops forgot to put the attached files xD how noob of me. lol.

Hey voidsource does this implementation require that the user be playing with cheats on? I know you say at the end to:

probably not. but definately use the first 2. also in the minigun.csv change the minimal volume to 0.99 and max volume to 1, if u feel that the volume is too low. or mess with it to your hearts desire.

Finally got to the section of my map where I needed a mini-gun. Hooked this thing up and so far it works like a charm!

I ran into two really minor things in the read me:
1. It says: #include maps\_minigun.gsc; when it should say #include maps\_minigun;
2. The zone file precache list didn't include the line: xmodel,weapon_minigun which is fine. MissingAsset.csv showed me


Now I just needed some AI to shoot with this thing. Good job guys.

Ah good find on the stuff. but the major stuff is really out of the way so it becomes easy to use.Either way thanks for letting everyone else know. Feedback is always a plus, thanks mate.

I have a minigun in my map without any of those scripts. The good thing is you have infinite fire, no temperature limit. So if anyone prefers to have infinite fire, can do it without the codes. You do need the sound though, or else it mutes a bit.
