Adjust Dispersion of Helicopter Miniguns

Recommended Posts

I would like to change the dispersion of the helicopter miniguns. I'm sure there is a variable in the config but I can't find it. I've searched and found various posts on this  topic but no definitive answer. I just want to remove the laser like qualities of most of these weapons. I'm happy doing it as a mod where I reference the base class with adjusted weapon values, I just need to know which value controls it.

 

Thank you.

They're found in the cfgweapons class, under fire modes

For example, under class LMG_LMG_Minigun_heli>>class manual it says the gun has dispersion = 0.0087; (values are in radians) and reloadTime = 0.033; (time between shots in seconds)

Thing is... I have no idea where the file is... or how to edit it :/ I can see it in the viewer in editor but I cant modify it... do I need a special program or am I missing sth?

You have to write your own config.cpp in notepad or some other text editor to patch it, and then compile that in a .pbo addon file using one of the many available packing tools.

Opening the game data, modifying things and then repacking it is an awful, awful idea.
