Ok gonna talk through setting up ai to use an mg42. This tutorial is aimed at sp begginers and is very easy to do.

Ok so lets make a start... Right click and do misc --> turret. Then have a key of model with the value of xmodel/weapon_mg42. Then insert weaponinfo as the key and the value as mg42_bipod_stand. The on the entity window u will see some more options like arcs which is how far the mg42 can be turned in that direction. use wot u like and then place the gun on wotever u want.

Now make a pathnode, the pink 1s. put this about 8 units behind the gun.

Now make an actor

**** THIS PART FOR SPAWNING THE ACTOR ONLY *****
Tick spawner and forcespawn and then make a trigger were u want it, make it into a trigger mulltiple and then add the spawn AI trigger to it.
*******************************************


Now connect IN THIS ORDER the trigger (if u have 1) to the actor, then the actor to the pathnode and finally the pathnode to the mg42.

**ADDITION** If you would like a situation of once the gunner dies some1 else spawns to use the gun then follow this next bit.

On the trigger enter key targetname and a value of flood and secure. then on the actor and a count of hw ever many ai u want to ever spawn from this actor, for example 3.

**********************

You can also use other features like :

key = script_additive_delay // Additive delay is the # of seconds extra a flood_spawner will wait for each additional spawning. Defaults to 1 second.

script_killspawner // When you go through a trigger with this on it, any spawners that have the same # will be deleted.

Cheers

i submitted a suppliment on a simpler version of ur ai that can be furthur edited.

look in the downloads/cod2 suppliments!

Yes but copying and pasting is bad practise, it can lead to errors and confusion thats why if u just go ahead and rip an mg42 from newvillers and then after using it several times it may stop working or they may all start spawning off the same trigger and therefore takes longer to go around editing each one than making from scratch. When mapping sp and using entities you are ALWAYS best to start from scratch even if its just copying the key's and values from the old1 to the new 1.

They have also added a working 30cal to CoD2 SP. There are two weaponinfo versions, 30cal_stand and 30cal_prone. But the prone version didn't work for me. This is the fatal error I get when loading the map ingame. Error during initialization: Could not find label 'main' in script 'animscripts/30cal/prone. So I set the weaponinfo to mg42_bipod_prone.I works but the sound and fire rate are for the mg42.

Now to be able to commander the gun.

nice addition bodger2.

i did not copy it from newvillers..

i made it myself...

and what the hell does it matter? i just added a file so noobs can look at it.
