Don't suppose you could make the guns shoot (or do they already and I just missed this)?
Yes it definitely could. :)
All you have to do is copy the ammo, and animate the copied ammo to move through the air. The only tricky part in that is the getting it to fly in the right direction. Absolutely possible though. |

should be possible to create homing ammo; follow an avatar's matrix info and the ammo just hits the avatar no matter where avatar is :) |

ammo can be done simply by encapsulating distance trigger inside bullet and connect timer to local Z (or another coordinate). Then to fire you just need to copy bullet to scene, set parent matrix to point right direction (set avatar matrix to it), offset it a bit so it don't kill you and enable timer... when bullet gets near avatar, it activates and you can assume bullet has hit him... |

Why thank you Peter!
Yes, apparently my involvement in all this certainly is a crime, but what the hey... they did give me a great deal on the lycra cone.:D
