I am relatively new to BZEdit.
Is there any easy way to make world weapons in Winwows XP?
Maybe theres a program....

If I recall correctly, pyBzEdit can do world weapons. It's written in and requires Python, and also requires a few other libraries in order to run it.

yes, the python bzedit from daddo can do it.

its a project under sourceforge.

i dont think people understand what your asking...

do you want to add a world weapon to a map
your making...

or

do you want to make a flag like SW, GM, LASER

i think you mean to add a weapon to a map....

fairly easy...open your map file in a text editor
an add this for each weapon you want...

weapon
type SW <type of weapon
position 0 0 0 <location
rotation 0 <if its an aimed weapon direction it fires
initdelay 3 <when game starts wait time for it to first fire
delay 240 < how fast it fires (seconds)
end

dont have a weapon firing every second, once every
3+ minutes or so is more then enough....if you have
it in a small contained area off from everything else
then maybe fast is okay....

so its is not compleicated you can do it man!

i hope this answers your question...

can you use bzedit on mac?

There is no mac specific bzedit.

There is a python editor called pybzedit ( search sourceforge for it ) that should work on any platform.

What I never understood about world weapons is the types that are available. Is it simply any flag that exists? If so, doesn't that mean you could make an "agility" weapon or "wings" weapon? If not, what are the types?

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:23 am

It is any shot type. Making one based off the non shot flags would not make sense. A world Weapon is a point in space that shoots a specific weapon type out based on defined rules.

IIR the shot types are

Normal Shot
Shockwave
Laser
Super Bullet
Invisible Bullet.

I don't know if there is a thief world weapon.

Yup, thief works. It even steals flags.

The F (rapid fire) flag can be useful, as can
the R (ricochet) and MG (machine gun) flags.
PZ even works on zoned tanks in 2.0 (just
tried it for the first time).

yes any flag type can be used

gm can be used but wont lock on...etc...

these flags produce just a regular single bullet
you can make any of them rapid fire with the delay
feature, some of the newer flags might be a tad
different...

all bad flags
qt
narrow
cloak
tiny
agility
momentum
phantom zone
shield
wing
stealth
occilator
jump

never thought about the old invisi bullet, wouldnt that be interesting aye?
