Minigun firing effect

[Augilera]

Hi, I want to animate a heavy firing a minigun.

I've found there is a sequence called fire_loop and also spin up and spin down sequences - but I see no evidence that they do anything when I import them?? Have I missed something?

I've also found particle effects for the muzzle flash. But it appears to be only a single short burst - do I need to keep adding particle effects for every shot fired? That seems annoying!
I suppose I will also need to look for one of the bullet casings ejecting.

I've tried searching around, but haven't found anything. I figure most people do a recording of this sort of thing which is why there isn't much info around. But I need him to do something abnormal so I figure it would be easier this way. If anyone knows of a tutorial for this I'd love to see it.

Forget about the sequences for that. Just animate it spinning manually in the motion editor. It's much easier.

The particle systems you want are muzzle_flash.pcf/muzzle_minigun_constant and shellejection.pcf/eject_minigunbrass.
