HL2 Pulse Rifle

[Dapizzanator]

As another test, I wanted to edit one of the two-projectile left and right click weapons to be like the HL2 Pulse Rifle. A few questions:
1: The energy ball projectile would work if edited into a weapon, right?
2: Does anybody know of any weapons where the second (right click) fire is easily editible? All of the ones I've found (G36C, Portal Gun, MP7) are second-fired with another DTS file, which I cannot edit (what program? Tourque?)?
I'd appreciate some help, this would be one of my cooler edits, if it were to work.

You shouldn't have to open a dts file.  That's just a model.

Oh yeah, like in the G36C, theres a "backup.cs" that looks like it. Any idea what part of it to edit, to change the projectile? There's going to be a bit of renaming, too. Here's the backup.cs:

OSIPR?
And you stole my idea, I'm doing a regular pulse rifle. >:O

[NickTheSushi]

Racer's busy working on one.

[Dapizzanator]

Aah, but this is going to be a personal one, I guess...

[Hired gun]

SEND IT TO MEH >:p

[Dapizzanator]

huhwha? I'm not done... Still need an editable weapon.

[AlphaicX]

huhwha? I'm not done... Still need an editable weapon.

Don't give us any of that editing stuff, we want a new weapon.

[Dapizzanator]

I can't make a new one.... Not good at it...

[A million souls]

Its Done by Racer or StratoFortess too late :D

[Dapizzanator]

Is it out? No...

Just because the names are similar it doesn't mean he's stealing your idea. The M41A and AR2 are completely different.

[A million souls]

Is it out? No...

Your Point?
He made it first (racer or Strato)

1. Yes. Use forceRequiredAddOn and give credit, please.
2. Look at the Flak Cannon.
