xGj Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 A thing I've been hoping for, ever since I heard of blue for vice city. I wonder if it could be synched like in the mission with wu-zi-mu's men where you shoot out of a maverick with a minigun ( firing at the boat ). I'd really love that feature if it could be implented for deathmatch r1. More detailed: every passenger in the chopper could use any gun to shoot out of the doors, which you won't see yourself then like in the mission I described. I don't know if it's possible but if it is, I'd really love to see the camera being positioned in your chair so your view is inside the chopper ( I don't know if it's possible in san andreas but I remember it seen in vc-mp's first video, so that should be possible to camhack ). I've added a poll to see what other people like, hope it will be implented if possible Link to comment
{Static} Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sounds like a good idea, would be a useful thing for clan matches too. Link to comment
[XII]RazoR Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 i mean.. who needs a friggin fly-by if you have enough choppers/planes that can shoot.. plus, i don't think the level of the team is high enough to 'make' fly-bys and sync it so well that you don't see someone do a fly-by AND shoot out of the fron with a rocket or somethin.. retard Link to comment
xGj Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 razor, get the fck out of my topics when you only come to spam. I'm only asking a thing I'd personally love, and I wanted to see if the demand for it is high, if you don't want it, don't post, don't call me a retard and don't underestimate the team. It's my suggestion. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 the idea is veary old allready and has definitely been discussed a lot of times before. but it's still a nice idea, it reminds people of it. Link to comment

Yes it is very old but never implented So I hope it will be now in the first deathmatch release, that'd just be awesome btw, when ppl discussed it in the past, the answer was mostly that blue'd be capable of doing it, now we got a stable blue core, I hope it is capable of doing it now Link to comment
ArmedAndDangerous Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I was thinking of something like this recently. Like with teh police heli where the first passanger gets an M4 with unlimeted ammo and can shoot 360 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically, (so not not shoting upwards and being able to shoot directly below). However when the first passanger leaves that seat or the heli they lose the unlimeted ammo M4 and go back to what they had previosuly. Also how about allowing 3rd person also for shooters, just have it so they can select between like in normal vehicles. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 shooting 360 degrees would be veary unrealistic since you can't shoot in the front and in the back, or you have to shoot through the helicopter itself. I think it's better just 90 and 90 and unlimited ammo is allso a little overpowered Link to comment
ArmedAndDangerous Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Oh sorry, I meant gunning would be only available to that passanger. The others have to sit there. Link to comment
xGj Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Did you mean it being possible to turn 180 degrees? Link to comment
PacMaan Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Its an awesome idea, the flybys in SA and VC are great fun, and sh!t like that in games where you get a shot on some awesome firepower never lasts long enough. I can see problems with the police heli & multiple passengers tho - im sure it would be fine in clan matches but on regular servers you gonna get a lot of complaining - would you wanna sit there twiddling your thumbs while some twat hogs the shooting position the whole match & has all the fun? And re the ammo - what happens when you run out, throw purple rubber cocks at them maybe....?? Link to comment

I guess if we get flyby's then I'd like to see you being able to use all of your own guns you currently carry, if you run out of ammo you just won't be able to shoot anymore. Link to comment
Scar Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 fly bys or drive bys would be good. Link to comment
xGj Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I think driveby's will definately be synced, flyby's really not sure. Link to comment
ArmedAndDangerous Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 On the subject of shooting out of vehicles, will it be possible to shoot out of the back of the boast with the gun emplacement on it's back? Is it possible it could be coded in? Link to comment
Leviathan Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 uhm, you have to read other topics for that... you should be able to "bobcat-sit" so just crouch in the back of it with a gun in your hand (m4 or whatever) (or a rocket launcher or other heavy weapon, but you can't crouch with that) Link to comment

But I'd really like a reply from a dev if flyby's would be possible. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 locked would be veary unfair and silly at the same time. getting glu'ed would be better. then you still can fall off if a car colission happens, but if you would get locked onto a car it would look veary silly and it's too overpowered.

[XII]RazoR Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 As my last 2 posts, i'll answer with the same message, maybe in a more 'correct' way in your eyes. Just as the poll-title says: 'screw them' ... lamers, mayb noobs etc will camp for days in planes so they can shoot the rest down... Same as the drive-by .. this topic isn't about it.. but last posts were going on about it, so i will get back at it later. but so... these lamers/noobs stay in their planes.. shooting a few mta-players and then they'll think they are supercool, keeping doing this.. In a while people start regretting they once voted yes in this poll about fly-by's.. since 'now' there are only lamers and/or noobs left hanging in the planes doing 'fly-bys' and not doing anything else. Such people in these planes also won't give normal answers to you, speaking out of experience with drive-by's in vc:mp, when you nicely ask them to stop doing a fly-by (in this case it was a drive-by) .. they will only give answers like 'why? i'm not doing anything illegal?" .. while they know it's lame and irritating for others.. and that it screws up the game. Actually this was probably a partly reason why VC: MP didn't run very well.. lamers in cars doing drive-by's at people in fights... etc etc.. so.. a BIG no for me.. Now for the drive-by's.. drive-by's should be disallowed tbh.. just like the fly-by's, there will only be lamers/noobs in cars... cruising around all day, driving past people that are fighting.. shotting at those people.. and cruise away before they can even get hit by one single shot. But... i think that the 'locked' part (on the back of the bobcat or so) would be very great.. the drive-by wouldn't be as great and 'lame' as it is when u r in the car. You can sitll get hit by bullets.. the car too.. so the player on the car is in as much danger as the players on the ground, plus he won't be able to drive away when he gets shot.. coz he aint driving the car himself. And leviathan.. locked overpowered? haha, not if they implement it so that you can get hit when you're on the car.. then it would be anything but overpowered. Drive-by's are overpowered because you can't get hit yourself.. you got a sort of 'armour' (the car that is) around you that is taking all of the bullets.. and before that exploeds you'd still have 100hp of your own. So, Fly-by's, NO .. Drive-By's, NO .. Locked? Yes , if done correctly. EDIT BY HAZJ: you have been banned. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 .... nice story..... best option is just to enable/disable serverside. and getting locked onto a car, that looks silly, ever tried sitting on a roof of a car in sp? you can fall off... if the car rams into another in example...

True Exactly how I thought it should be. If you would've read my previous posts more carefully razor you would've seen I already said that it should be serverside dis- or enabled. So up to the admin. You can choose on which servers you want to play on yourself. Link to comment
Suilenroc Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I seem to recall some missions in single player where NPCs were hanging on the side of helicopters shooting at you, so I imagine that it is possible with some time and work. As for toggling the allowance of drive/flybys, I think it might be better to specify it in the map files, if at all. Link to comment
Supreme Overlord Alex Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Hmm.. yeah I think 'gluing' would be better than locked. Otherwise people will cheat and there are enough cheaters already. I also think it should be ammo and weapons you have (firing a rocket launcher out of a heli would be so cool!) rather than unlimited ammo for the same reason. Plus everyone would stay in cars because they wouldn't have to worry about ammo then. Make it limited, for the better of us ALL... Link to comment
