Real Deployable Machine Gun - Page 3

I remember seeing this back in august and the first thing I was concerned about was people being killed while being in the gun. If that could be solved, I'd love to see this feature added.

Sweetest thing I've seen for months. I think this will get integrated in PR sooner or later, wether you guys like it or not.

Where are the DEVs when you need them?

This is by far the best suggestion I've seen on here in a long time.
It solves the recent complaint of the LMGs being too powerful, as well.
I would be very suprised if this wasn't put into a patch sometime in the near future.
Nice work!

WOW! Now that is impressive!

Looks awesome.

I am waiting to see what a DEV will say.

Best suggestion for a long time indeed. Would love to see it work in the future. Great job!

I know this has everyone excited and rightfully so, Salmonella's work here is top notch. But bare with us, we've been aware of this work for a while now and there are several flaws that need to be overcome for this type of system to be used.

1. As already mentioned, there needs to be ammo linking between the deployed version and the undeployed one. I'm not too sure if that can be done via python like you suggested, Salmonella.

2. There will be issues with reloading the weapon. Going to be hard to get a reloading system that works and is intuitive.

3. As already mentioned, animation issues.

4. What's to stop the player deploying the weapon and switching to the undeployed one while it's deployed?

For 4, isn't the ammo linked? Couldn't you just make deployment take up all the ammo boxes or something similar. Sure, there is still the whole visual thing, but its a start.
