Turret for REX, player's best friend

[raoul12]

hello everyone, i just restart the game for the x time and was thinkin about improvement for rex, the robotic dog compagnon,

i dont know if its pssible but i'd love to see some kind of automated turret mount on the back of the dog, not something too big, but maybe like the robo panther in transformers(1or2, dont remember)

sorry cant find better picture ( dont want the turret look like a plastic toy in game!!^^)

 

two mini laser gatling or auto 9mm like the robots in the strip...or ..".just" an anti material rifle! why not!!! ( but just one, not two!^^)

 

i thought it could be awsome

i dont know anything about creating new model of weapon for normal human so maybe, what i ask is undoable

but if someone, you, great modders, want to try manage this out, i think a lot of player should enjoy this crazy improveement!

 

pre- thanks

 

live long and prosper

A real turret that is a separate creature? Not normally possible,although I have an idea of how it could be done. Or are you just thinking a weapon?

 

I rigged a K9000 cyberdog gun to Rex;

hello,

first, nice one! maybe a litte bit too big for this little creature^^

sepaeate creature? dont understand (english is not my first language). with ur trick, does rex use the gun?

do you say that it could easily be done but just with this gun (k9000)?

in my hope , this mod will add 1 weapon (or more) only playable for rex, player have to give the weapon to the dog and set attack to "distance"so rex will be able to do distance attack, for visuals, i thought of somethoing not too big, like on the first picture, between the 9mm smg and the 10mm smg model or remeshed to be more thin and long (or with silent), and still in my dream, it's dual canon turret, in fact, really like the picture, and last, not overpowered (if it does all the work, no more fun for player)

 

or make this turret a base weapon that is a part of rex meshes ( but still can shoot with it)

 

hope that explain a bit more

Yes that clarifies your question. What threw me is that there are turrets (bots) and I thouhgt you wanted one atop rex. It's possible but it's a messy hack. I'v been messing around with it for a "War Brahmin", a failed experiment that doctor Mobius performed.

 

What you want is a weapon. It can be rigged to Rex, but he doesn't have any animations for a ranged weapon. So you have to use the new cyberdogs skeleton from OWB. Unfortunately the projectile node (where the bullet exits) is in their mouth, so any gun/laserfire has to come out of there. For my weapon, it extends to rex's forhead so it doesn't look too far off from his mouth, but you can still tell.

 

So long story short that projectile node needs to be moved to your weapon muzzle, and unfortunately I havn't started learning animation in blender, so I can't do it.
