VATS, altering burst fire ? And zooming

[AncientSion]

I want to know how i can alter the amount of rounds fired with certain guns while in VATS. For example, i want a gun to fire 5 rounds instead of 3 per VATS trigger.

Im using fo3edit and i cant find any value like this in the weapon files.

 

Another one: Can you easily alter the amount of scoping on sniper rifles ? I.e. can you add more than 3 zoom levels AND OR alter the existing zoom levels to give a different magnification ?

 

thanks

In FO3Edit under the 'weapon' tab is where you can change the # of projectiles per trigger squeeze.

Under 'weapon' find the gun you want to alter and select it.

In the right panel find 'fire rate' about 3/4 of the way down the list. That should be what your looking for. The number of projectiles per squeeze should be the same whether you are in or out of VATS, but I am not 100% on that point. A little testing should give you the answer though.

About 5 or 6 items below 'fire rate' is 'attack shots/sec' but I believe that determines how often you can pull the trigger, not how many projectiles per pull.

 

Hope that helped.

 

Edit: Oh, and as for the zoom, I believe your looking for the 'sight FOV' about 10 items above 'fire rate' under the same weapon tab. I've never actually played with that so there could be other factors having to do with LOD files or something but thats a place to start anyway. You might try downloading this file and check it out in FO3Edit to get an idea of how he made it and changed the zoom: http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16994

No offense, but did you just reply for the sake of it.

I posted i couldnt find any values regarding my issue and indded your suggestion regarding burst dont work.

What they DO is alter the amount of projectiles per shot, i.e. turning a rifle into a shotgun. What i want is to alter the burst from 3x1 to 5x1 rounds, not from 3x1 rounds to 1x5 rounds. And only in VATS. Its a big difference btw. Many guns fire 3-5 burst in VATS, but manually only 1 shot unless u hold the mouse button.

Attack shots / sec is the fire rate. By changing it, you just make the gun fire faster or slower. But in VATS, nothing changes

Absolutely for the sake of it, I wasn't actually trying to help, I just like to type random things in message boards.

Had you been just a bit more vague in you post about what values you had or hadn't tried and what you were looking for I'm sure I wouldn't have bothered replying and had to find out what an ingrate you are.

 

Even in your description of what fire rate and attack/sec are, which is wrong btw, or what you're looking for you aren't even close to being clear.

What i want is to alter the burst from 3x1 to 5x1 rounds, not from 3x1 rounds to 1x5 rounds

Hmm, I suppose its just me being unable to understand, not you saying you want the exact thing you don't want.

 

Attack shots / sec is the fire rate

Really? Why 2 different values for the same thing? I suppose value duplication is fairy standard proceedure in FO.

 

No offense though.

lol.

 

Once again, for the sake of it.

 

When in VATS and using a rifle like the chinese assault rifle, ONE trigger will fire 3 shots. A burst of 3 times 1 bullet.

What i want is to alter this. I want one trigger in VATS to create a burst of 5 times 1 bullet. or 15 times 1 bullet. What i NOT want is a shotgun that fires 5 bullets at once. Which is exactly what your suggestion did.

 

Basicly, what you said does change the weapon, but not the way i want it. Again, i dont want a shotgun, i want longer burst fire in VATS.

Quite honestly, i am dissapointed. If you dont know a thing about how to solve my question, why bother posting at all.

The only thing you need be disappointed in is your ability to comprehend how these settings work.
