Ok all I need to know is how to make the weapon steam when it overheats like the flame thrower.
How do I make the charging up thing?
Also is it possible to raise the weapons so it is higher up in first person?
And how do you recolor explosions? Like for example make the needler detonation red instead of pink?
thanks.

1) Age and heat, I think. They are functions. Look at the tags of stuff that overheats.

2) Charging is done using two triggers, and when you hold it down for long enough it switches over to the charged trigger. Just play around with the plasma pistol tags and you will see it.

3) You need to completely re-animate, so its probably not worth the effort.

4) IDK, probably in the effect tag.

For the weapon steam look at the tags of lets say the plasma rifle when it overheats just sit and think of weapons that have an effect close to what ur looking for or just make ur own :)

And the charging up thing do u mean like in my vid not sure what u mean it does more than one thing

And yes it's poosible to raise it higher yes u have to redo the FP animations

And the explosion would be under explosion light or detontion light or something with light and lens flare etc

Yes like when you start to charge it like how the plasma pistol has that energy build up on the end.
