Here is a working IFV Nighthawk transport helicopter (1 gunner + 5 passengers for a total of 6)
Deploy to undeploy passengers, undeploy again to get the gunner out
At first I got a little confused. I thought deleting all references to turrets was the way to go however i was wrong and this resulted in a unit that would only sometimes fire or fire once
Then I tried going back to the full ifv code which resulted in a fully functional yet invisible unit.
What I really needed was something in between
Here I declare only 1 turret, however i make no reference to the turrets themselves
The nighthawk was still only firing once but with extensive testing I noticed it's firing forward and no where else
Even though the nighthawk has OmniFire (as a ;comment), because it think's there's a turret and there actually isn't we need to give every weapon itself omnifire
I did not add Omnifire to the suicide weapons as they are too trigger happy and sometimes randomly suicide flying over miners
So the next step i took was i copied all the IFV Weapons and their properties and changed their name to XXWEAPONXXno2. After i Did that, i made sure to put OmniFire=yes in each weapon entry and then declare each weapon in my new IFV Code
Finally it worked and was able to shoot in all Directions
I added
OmniFire=yes
OpportunityFire=yes
CanPassiveAquire=yes
This means that when it's empty it still shoots its normal gun
This also means when an engineer enters, instead of repair, i changed it to normal IFV missiles
I thought having helicopters repair eachother was a bit OP
You will Also notice something else interesting in my code - Boris Airstrike laser mode
When Boris Enters as a gunner, he will call an airstrike on structural targets
Here is the code for that:
Weapon13=Flare2
EliteWeapon13=Maverick ; Boris Shoots Harrier missiles when in Elite Nighthawk - change if you wish - or don't

I will be updating my work soon to make improvements - Thought i would post the most vanilla version here for people to enjoy as my mods/ later improvements may not suit every bodies taste
Please lower resolution for tests next time so we can see things better. _________________ One and only developer of the Command & Conquer Dune "C&C D" mod.
