Can someone make an accurate flechette sniper rifle using this model: [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=64166[/url] and make it have a working zoom, but with the normal scope texture.
I can't code in Lua, so out of curiosity, how many flechettes is it going to fire in one shot? Or is it going to be one flechette with high damage?

If that can't happen, then around 15 flechettes in a very tiny spread.
Flechettes don't fly fast enough to make an effective sniper rifle.

This looks interesting. I might give it a try.
[QUOTE=Timenova;19376575]With the infinite possibilities of Lua I'm sure they can be sped up if you have the technical know-how.[/QUOTE] They can be, yes, but still not to a suitable speed. You could, however, spawn the flechette right where you want it to hit. That way it would have the effect of a real sniper rifle.

As far as I know, colour doesn't affect trails.

[QUOTE=NullPoint;19382303]What is wrong with what AlfieSR said?[/QUOTE] You know the trail stool? You can change that color. It's the same with the flechette trail because it, I'm sure, uses the same thing.

[QUOTE=NullPoint;19383577]No, I'm talking about when you said "Engrish much?"[/QUOTE] The sentence wasn't put together very well. It's hard to understand.
Seems perfectly fine to me.
[QUOTE=NullPoint;19383653]Seems perfectly fine to me.[/QUOTE] "Why not have an invisible one which doesn't collide trailing through the air very fast" Does that sound like a normal sentence to you? Anyway, dropping this subject now, we're going off topic.:byodood:
I think there's a variable to change the velocity of the flechette, I'll have to check.
[QUOTE=Facehugger88;19383537]You know the trail stool? You can change that color. It's the same with the flechette trail because it, I'm sure, [b]uses the same thing[/b].[/QUOTE] Incorrect
[QUOTE=mahalis;19395565]Incorrect[/QUOTE] You're right, the flechette trail isn't in the trail STOOL. Even with EP2 installed...unless you wanted to change a similar trail to a different colour. But I don't know if this would work.
Im pretty damn sure setting the velocity of something "Mainly props and effects" coming from a weapon, if the velocity or force is over 4500 then it wont travel directly center screen, it will be pushed away from the center because of to much force. Just a heads up.
Thanks.
This sounds like a good idea. I love the flechette pistol, shotgun, and machine gun. This would go along great with that other stuff.
I would love this simply because we would then have some bullet physics on a sniper rifle. Flechettes drop at range
