Additional subparameter for configurable fire modes?
« on: March 01, 2025, 03:33:31 pm »
A long time ago in ufopedia.org far away I came across a comment for followProjectiles parameters.
The comment in section with configurable fire modes says: "# the camera stays still while shooting (prevents minigun seizures)"
While setting this parameter to false is working just fine, I wondered if there are some possibility to add a subparameter like followProjectileFrequency? Or, in layman terms, define how many projectiles that were fired should be followed by camera aside from first, which should be tracked always. And, maybe, last. Pros: players are still able to see where they fired from, unless fired with gun whith followProjectiles: false or shotgun (AFAIK OXC/OXCE don't draws more than 1 projectile at a time, and there's probably a WIP/declined suggestion for it posted by somebody else).
Additional thought is to make this parameters different for player and AI, let's say if some hardcore player modder wants his operatives to be shot with VSS Vintorez and be unable to track a source of incoming fire, but remain able to track return fire with the same VSS.
