Vehicle Weapon Editing

[funkylok]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to replace the water cannon on the Swatvan with a flame thrower?

I have been searching through the files in the data folder trying to find how these weapons are handled, but i cant find them (for those vehicles that fire projectiles).

If anyone knows how this might be achieved, let me know, i am so looking forwards to have some pyro fun.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can place a flamethrower on ANY car. Here is a CLEO script that checks to see if you are driving a vehicle and you can use the "+" key on the numpad to activate the flame.

{$VERSION 3.1.0027}
{$CLEO .cs}

I don't know if this works with ALL vehicles somewhat untested. Have fun you funny arsonist you!

EDIT: I made some changes lowered my invisible man to make the flames seem to come from the grill. Added LMB keypress. I tested a BMX that is funny riding a BMX shooting flames. Also since you are not holding the weapon the cops don't blame you.
