Is it possible to fire the sword (energy blade) out of the sniper rifle and the person would see the sword coming at them real fast or something and then the sword would stick in them or disappear? If so, how do you do it? thanks

I'm not sure if nonmodders would see it. Swap the hlmt of the needler projectile with the energy sword's hlmt.

also after doing that do that meta faking thing to make nonmodders see the new proj if your going to be playing on xbc or xlink kai

Well, if i wanted to fire a sword out of a gun heres what would do.

1. duplicate the rocket launcher projectile
2. change its model (the hlmt tag) to that of the sword
3. remove the impact explosion and change around the damage effects and the projectile speed.
4. make the sniper rifle fire out the cloned rocket launcher projectile (the sword bullet)

thats a quick breakdown. If you need something more in-depth i can mabey provide something tomorrow.

how do you do that meta faking thing you speak of?

Also, how do you duplicate a projectile or any file in dothalo for that matter? Sorry, i'm REALLY noob at this guys

I know you can do it. I saw a video of a guy shooting swords with the battle rifle. Just not sure how.

Dothalo doesn't support duplication. You would need to open the map and navigate to the PROJ. Then find the rocket launcher or needle depending on which you want to use and right click and duplicate it.

Also, if you don't know, these tutorials use Entity.

no, the guy above (Scoliosis) is saying you duplicate the rocket launcher projectile and then make the sniper shoot that one. I think there's some benefit from using the rocket's projectile and not the sniper's.

Sorry, i'm too noob to understand any of that i tried to copy the meta from hlmt tag to the rocket projectile hlmt but it said meta won't fit, this stuff is to hard for me, it looks like a bunch of weird language

Ok, if you are using dothalo (which I don't suggest but w/e), open your map. Scroll to the [proj] tags. Find whatever weapon's projectile you want to use (i.e. sniper rifle) then click on it. Go to view at the top of the program, then pick dependency viewer. When it comes up, swap the hlmt to the energy sword. Hope I helped

WOW! that was super easy compared to duplicating and all that other stuff! thanks! Does that work with the warthog and ghost and all those too?

Ok, i looked at projectiles/sniperrifle/sniper bullet or whatever it's called and it had not HLMT so i added the energy blade's HLMT and it didn't shoot out a sword....any ideas?

Alex201 · Post by **Alex201** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:06 am

Ok, if that didn't work, go to the [weap] tag of the sniper rifle and go to the dependency viewer. Then swap the [proj] to [weap] and change the "nulled out" to melee\energy sword. If you need more help, just pm me.

That will shoot out a sword but it won't do any damage it will just fall down to the ground for you to pick up. You have to
