Drive bys :)

i think that would be a good addition

You have to have an uzi and when u fire out of the car you have to be going slow or the bullets wont come out

the driver cannot shoot only the Person in the back can

The Person in the back will have to press D when the Uzi is Equipped then u have an aim which u can control by mouse, then u can fire all around the car

i think this would be fun. Chases

In which direction would the projectile go? From the left or right?

Could go back to Graal's roots and refer to the player's direction of attacking while on a horse.

Or you can just press up to face up, down to face down, left to face left, and right ot shoot right...and have it so when you press the fire button it fires in whatever direction you're facing. Passenger should be the only one able to shoot.

When u have an Ice Cannon on Zone it could be like that but then again Gerami has a better idea, Press Up u shoot up and so on.

No, because Era is only 4 directional so mouse aiming would be kind of dumb.

Didnt GTA only have 4 directions drive by? And that worked fine.

2 for cars, and you don't really aim with the mouse...only click to shoot.

I mean to shoot backwards outta a car (U could shoot both ways in GTA with a cheat) And so could ur passengers im just saying only the passenger can shoot out and it should be all 4 directions
and scrap that idea about a mouse cos if we had to aim and shoot with that we could shoot \ that way

With a cheat you can be invinsible with a flying car 0_o dont go by the cheat options lol

i think you mean invincible?..if you mean invisible..you spelled it wrong

Just display the idle and shoot animations for the passenger firing, and have them able to switch directions freely. Simple.

Just remember not to use player.x and player.y in regards to where the bullets emit. The player is lagging behind in the car while his head is displayed as an image in the back seat.

Cars themselfs travel faster than bullets. You'll probably end up hitting the person in the front seat.

I've already abused multiple bugs with cars to do drive-bys :{
And most of the time you do actually end up killing the driver.

Also, Era has a click-shoot gun, which is what I used most of the time. But even so, it's really really hard to hit somebody while you're in a car because you don't know what the driver is going to do. And even if you hit somebody it's really really hard to kill them because you need to shoot them six or seven times and they can usually get away after being shot once.

Cars are maneuverable enough to properly chase down and keep shooting somebody. If they run past you and then quickly change directions they gain about 4 seconds on you by the time you've turned around. And if they run across grass they can just outrun you...

In short: DRIVE BYS ARE IMPRACTICAL

I think it would be cooler if we had chases and bullets flying everywhere
Would be fun, Cos when me and my mate jeffy get into the car and then get chased nothing happens we just end up losing em.. if we were to shoot from the back to would be more satisfactory blowing up cars and people inside
