Is there any way to make a Gib shooter shooting anything other that human gibs. I need it for my compo entry

While were on the subject, for kicks, I tried some sprites too. Some worked fine, but others--one of the xflare.spr's--was very buggy, and would shoot in the wrong direction, as well do other weird stuff.
Is this known to be buggy with different sprites, or is my machine/config just wack?

Also, Scaling for the sprite worked fine, but not for the mdl. I tried scaling shell.mdl to 100 and it changed nothing.

While we're on the topic, I have 2 questions myself:
1. The bullets--12mm--that you can use for a func_tank, are they models or sprites, or something else?
2. Whatever they are, can you extract/use them for env_shooter?

The bullet shell models are found in the pak0.pak file, called shell.mdl. the env_shooter property scale only works with sprites. Most sprites work with the env_shooter, unless they aren't square.

No. not the shells, but the tracer rounds you see when using a machine gun--func_tank.

Sweet, thanks! 'Should of know they were, 'casue they use less resources.
My main complaint with using env_shooter is that their is no way to counter the effect of gravity on the sprites/mdls projected, as far as I know.

You could probably try to put a trigger_gravity where the env_shooter is going to shoot out, as long as the trigger_gravity is out of reach of the player.

Thanks. That is something I will have to try

I don't think it would affect it, though, since HL1 doesn't really have a physics system.

Oh wells, just have to stick to my method of placing a transparent floor underneath the firing gibs, in an attempt to keep their trajectory flat...which so far, isn't working to well.
