Hello all! I've been a member here for a while, but this is the first time I've actually posted anything, so bear with me. I recently got the FPSC X10, and I've been wondering if it's possible to create a flamethrower-type weapon. I haven't found anything by searching... I imagine it would be possible by creating a weapon with low accuracy and many shooting iterations, shooting at a constant rate or something...but what about the actual flame effects, or getting the characters to burn? I'm sure it might be possible, but I don't know how...

Not really. It would end up looking like crap since you cant emit particles from the gun.

I think you cant.

At the moment, there really isn't any real good flamethrower for FPS Creator X10.

Ok.... Would it work if you added fire as part of the gun's model's shooting animation? I mean like adding an actual mesh as the flame part to the model and animating it?

FPSC x10 has lasers in it surely someone can make a flamethrower.
Butters made one that worked in FPSC v1.0 so I think someone will be able to make one for x10.

The floating skull is gone but the flames burn on!!!

it can work, but I don't think you can make Decals on an entity, else you could make them burning

Puppy, you can't make an animated muzzle flash... So you can't make it look like a flamethrower.

What about redoing the smoke effects? Maybe make them appear more frequently and redo the color?

If you can use lasers then you must be able to use flamers......

Try having a look at whatever gun it is that uses lasers, upload the gunspec here an I'll see if I can find where it uses lasers from....

I have returned, after 28 days of exile, fear me!

Here's the gunspec of the blaster. I've only ever seen other enemies shoot lasers though. When the player uses it, I haven't seen it shoot a laser. The closest part I can find that talks about lasers (in the gunspec) is where it says "muzzlelasertype= 1" I haven't had time to mess around with it yet though (I've been busy all weekend).

Nooby, some one has said that and surely you mean the original fpsc? FPSC x10 is the new version of that.

I have not made any weapons so I know very little about it. However...

If the chugshot can have that blue thing swirling around, then why can't the flames be animated as part of the gun?

The shoot would animated the flames out of the gun like a recoil action does on shoot for regular guns.
The flames swirl all the time, you just dont see them until it pushes them out of the barrel through an animation when fired.

After all, its not that far from the end of a gun barrel to the center point of the screen.
You'd just need a fat barrel to hide the flame in.
