linking weapons/trigger help

Post by hazelwooder »

is there a way to link weapons but have a delay between each weapon?

eg.
so first weapon fires
second weapon reads this and waits 5 frames before firing
third weapon reads the second weapon firing and waits 5 more frames before firing

In the edit 2 menu I think, there is a setting for precisely that. A delay before firing after receiving the trigger from it's link parent. For what your saying you would just link 1 to the driver, 2 to 1, and 3 to 2, I think.

for anyone who wants to do this you have to have 1 weapon as a driver weapon then link each weapon to that 1 (like a turret) and change the link delay on ED2 for each weapon.

for example weapon 1 the driver and weapon 2,3,4 the driven weapons

2 linked to 1 with 0 link delay
3 linked to 1 with 10 link delay
4 linked to 1 with 20 link delay
