Can someone here point me in the right direction please

[sXs-sketchpad]

Hi guys and girls I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.


I'm using a Geoff sledge type gun on my server it's a rapid fire weapon when crouched and single shot while running.

Is there any posts here that can help me to change the single shot to rapid fire I'm a bit of a noob with this sort of thing would like to try and do it if I can and how easy is it to do.

Thanks

Hi mate I'm not at home for about a week so no piccys but I've attached the gun it's the geoff_v9 one with the blue crosshairs it fires single shot when running and rapid fire when crouched or standing still.

I have the explosive rounds one on the server also wich fires rapid while running or crouching that one is fine I'm using the tracer rounds one at the moment but want to see if I can modify the other one hope this all makes sense.


Also I would like to know how to maybe put sXs on it not sure if I'm clever enough for that though


Thanks


P.s also did you see I gave you your own room on our forum seeing as though you are pretty much the only other person besides me who puts stuff on there lol

I look into GeofG11_v9.u only.
In my layman opinion, I suppose the point is that here:

Code: Select all

simulated function PlayFiring()
{
	local int r;

      PlayOwnedSound(FireSound, SLOT_None, Pawn(Owner).SoundDampening*3.0);
      bSteadyFlash3rd = True;
	
      if ( (Owner.Physics != PHYS_Falling && Owner.Physics != PHYS_Swimming && Pawn(Owner).bDuck != 0)
	   || Owner.Velocity == 0 * Owner.Velocity )
         PlayAnim('fire',0.7 + 0.7 *(FireAdjust*17.0), 0.05);
      else
         PlayAnim('fire',0.2 + 0.2 *(FireAdjust*3.0));


	if ( (PlayerPawn(Owner) != None)
		&& (PlayerPawn(Owner).DesiredFOV == PlayerPawn(Owner).DefaultFOV) )
		bMuzzleFlash++;

}

i.e. branching at PlayAnim()

Ducking also affects shooting accuracy:

Code: Select all

     --------------------- <...>
			if ( (Owner.Physics != PHYS_Falling && Owner.Physics != PHYS_Swimming && Pawn(Owner).bDuck != 0)
			   || Owner.Velocity == 0 * Owner.Velocity )
				TraceFire(0.0);
			else
				TraceFire(16);
     --------------------- <...>
function TraceFire( float Accuracy )	
     --------------------- <...>
	EndTrace = StartTrace + Accuracy * (FRand() - 0.5 )* Y * 1000
		+ Accuracy * (FRand() - 0.5 ) * Z * 1000;
     --------------------- <...>

and huge damage... and add ammo ???

Code: Select all

if ( Other.bIsPawn && (HitLocation.Z - Other.Location.Z > 0.62 * Other.CollisionHeight)
		&& (instigator.IsA('PlayerPawn') || (instigator.IsA('Bot') && !Bot(Instigator).bNovice))
		&& ((Owner.Physics != PHYS_Falling && Owner.Physics != PHYS_Swimming && Pawn(Owner).bDuck != 0)
		|| Owner.Velocity == 0 * Owner.Velocity) )
		{
			if ( Pawn(Other).Health > 0 )
			{
				Other.TakeDamage(100000, Pawn(Owner), HitLocation, 35000 * X, AltDamageType);

				if ( Pawn(Other).Health < 1
				    && (!Level.Game.bTeamGame || Pawn(Owner).PlayerReplicationInfo.Team != Pawn(Other).PlayerReplicationInfo.Team) )
					AmmoType.AddAmmo(3);
			}
			else
				Other.TakeDamage(100000, Pawn(Owner), HitLocation, 35000 * X, AltDamageType);
		}
		else
			Other.TakeDamage(45,  Pawn(Owner), HitLocation, 30000.0*X, MyDamageType);

This behavior is not configurable. I don't know which would be easier, recompile or subclass. I have not done either one yet. :

.u files tend to come with the source code (which can be viewed e.g. from UnrealEd, or exported using ucc). It is possible to strip them, but in this instance they weren't.
Gee, you.

I believe that in this situation subclassing would be preferable. Avoid conflicts when you can!

In fact, making it fully configurable (with config vars and whatnot) is probably the best option once you do, to prevent more and more subclasses and additional confusion.
