mod idea: sniper shot

[silky_z]

ok, here is a little idea I thought of while playing POE.

would it be possiable to rig a screenshot for every time you kill some one threw the sights of any of the sniper rifles. so if you kill someone with the rifle scoped in at that exact moment the game automaticly takes a screenshot.

here's how i got the idea: I was defending a flag with a sniper rifle. suddenly a transport helo drops down to cap the flag. he spins around and his head is a clean shot threw the open transport door. I was thinking "OMG I have to save this". So i try to fire and press my screenshot button at the same time. by the time i press the button, he spins away from me and the shot was gone. :cry:

i was thinking it could ether be an app for ranked vinnla games or a mod code for other mods

that would be cool..... but every time i dont know?

You could just bind your screenshot key in FRAPs, Xfire, etc to the fire button :P

But obviously then you have a gazillion pictures of missed shots (unless you're uber 1337!).

Thats a really cool idea! However that above post is correct that you will get a lot of pics of missed shots. If you get it to work with fraps, please post some SS as I am sure people would like to see. :)

I never modded this game so I cannot help you with exact code, anyways if you could "attach" 'print screen' to a string that says the name & weapon killed with at the same second then it should work.
Then there isn't going to be a zillion missed shots & filter via weapon:

if [M95] and [silky_z] killed then
print screen
end if

or something like that. :D or could even get it to work only if you holding down a key, for ex. Ctrl

if you do that every time I kill someone with a snper rife my hard dive will be full

if you do that every time I kill someone with a snper rife my hard dive will be full
for that reason the hold-down-key comes in :D

if [M95] and [silky_z] and e.key(Ctrl) and [target dead] then
print screen
end if

= there won't be many unneeded screenshots. (unless of course ur Ctrl key falls in LOL)

or you can setup in control settings for mouse 3 button to have primary attack as well, so then u kill with that exact button it takes screenshot.

why not just have a toggle key....

[silky_z]

I was just thinking that you could toggle it like Fox said. if you bound the key you would get to many pics. maybe just a temporary file with a size limit so you wouldn't wast HDD space. then you could just cut and paste to a perminent file.
