Request: Aim Ahead Gadget

Post by REVENGE »

I know it'd be trivial to just slave your weapon to a dummy weapon with greater range to simulate aiming ahead/leading your target, but would there be a simpler way to do this using an lua gadget, one that works with all mods?

Do you mean they actually start aiming before targets are in range, or are you talking about target leading for say, Storm/Rocko?
