I made an "aiming down sights" script for Alex to use in Infested.
It IS possible to do that, contrary to what most people say.

(Note that the map, textures and target models are obviously not part of Infested.)
The muzzle flash is also off. I don't know why.
That looks neat Bink, is there any way you could make a tut or example script on that?
It's easy. Think about it. Find what hand position puts he gun in the veery center. Then start a timer and each tick move the hand position an amount toward the x, y, and z that is the 'look down sight' position. Just script the reverse to go back. You can also add FOV values into it so it zooms in progressively. I have done it.
Nice bink.
Yeah, considering I could use it in my game as opposed to the bitmap which you hate. j/k
The trick is getting the sights to agree with where the bullets land.
Nice targets. I made some that did that too.

Nah that's easy, you just use a crosshair that runs down the middle of the screen, and then line up the gun accordingly, and revert the crosshair back.
Bink: Nice, now I'm finally convinced that it's worth scripting that.
Alex: THANK YOU I never thought of lining up the gun with the center like that. >.<

Haha. I'm glad it helps.
I did some experimenting with this, but haven't had much success yet. I knew it was possible, I'm just not good enough with scripting. :P Since I've cancelled Solid Security I don't need it anymore. Nice job Bink.
Bink did it with animations. Speed-wise it's better.
