I'm pretty sure this is held in the actor cog...

I've made a character that holds two blasters, one in each hand, and I need it so that when he fires his weapons, two projectiles are shot, but I'm still not cog literate and wouldn't know the first place to look. So if someone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Okay, add this to the actor cog.
Code: 
In the symbols secion
template    source                           local

template    projecitle=+bryarbolt                local

message     fire

in the code section

Fire:
   source = GetSourceRef();
   Sleep(.1);
   FireProjectile(source, projectile, -1, -1, '-0.05 0.065 0.014', '0 0 0', 0, 0x0, 0, 0);
   Return;

end

If I'm not mistaken, that's for a weapon cog, but I'm probably wrong, anyway I guess I didn't mention that this is for an enemy, sorry about not saying that before.

It is possible, but youll need to do some jimmy-rigging. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]


First, make a new enemy weapon template. It should include nothing but a cog referance. That cog, is one your going to write. In the cog, under Activated, send a message to your enemy's actor cog. In the actor cog, under your user message, add the fireproj code.


Bingo, actor firing 2 projectiles. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

Or you could just do it my way, that is part of the actor's class cog. SaberMaster showed me that the fired message is called every time a projctile is fired, give it a try. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] No template editing involed.

Alright, Descent_pilot, I tried it your way, but now the actor fires from either the left or right gun, but not both at the same time like I wanted, what if I added
"FireProjectile(source, projectile, -1, -1, '0.05 0.065 0.014', '0 0 0', 0, 0x0, 0, 0);" right under the other FireProjectile? would that fix it?

If you get rid of the sleep, it shall fire them both at the same time (if the projectile is the same as the weapon in the template).
