/mount red dot sight or scope or bayonet

Instead of making all teh weapons with scopes or handles or bayonets why not just have a mount command? Your thoughts?

Because it's totally spelled "site".
It's not easy to do stuff like this, you know.

[Junkie556]

It's also not easy to make a aircraft carrier. But its been done!

But not in a way that is done well enough.
Imagine trying to do this for every goddamn gun.

[Junkie556]

well not evverry gun, but just the best of the best.

Still overly complicated.
You'd have to make positions for every attachment to every gun which would be affected.
Then you'd also have to make new datablocks (which doesn't work very well while the server is already running)

[Junkie556]

I see... so how about start making guns like that...?

Wouldn't have to be new datablocks. Generic model slapped onto another model.

Another possibility (if it were possible, lol) would be to hide nodes and un-hide nodes on a weapon, much like the player model with ski's and hats and stuff. But I don't think you can do anything to nodes on a gun.

Would be cool if it did work.

You're loving dense.

For some of the attachments, yes, there would have to be new datablocks. For example, FMJ, incendiary ammo, and stuff like that.

You wouldn't be creating the datablocks in-game. You could create one FMJ type bullet and then there, datablock. Shoot it out of any gun you want.

But surely, why are we arguing, this is obviously not going to get done, so why are we disputing over how it would be done if it were in fact going to be done.

Too overly complicated and in most cases, this mod would require the cooperation of every modder making a weapon, which I know won't happen.

Summary: No, the guns are fine how they are. This is Blockland, go build something.

[Junkie556]

Right.

even though there are different bullet projectiles for some guns.
