Hello,
I am making a weapon that first has to charge, where you can see an animation, and than shoots. So the only thing I need to know, is how to get the weapon shooting after about 2 seconds. You should be able to run while charging the weapon to shoot. The animation of the charging weapon must be shown at the time you click on the mouse, 2 seconds later it must shoot. Could anyone help plz?
Kind Regards,
Brian

Sadly, you can't make it charge then unleash dozens of bullets. It'd have to charge individually for each bullet. Which really sucks.
Still works for single fire weapons, though.
|
You could script it to play a charging sound when the mouse button was clicked, and then after a certain amount of time transfer some ammo over into you current clip, allowing you to shoot, once you quit shooting for a bit you would then just set the ammo on the current clip back to zero, transferring all the rest of the ammo back to your backpack rounds.
|
Well yeah, but I kinda doubt this person has the ability to do something like that. Hell, even I don't quite know how to do that.

The weapon's ammo preset should have an option called ChargeTime - that is what you need to edit.

Hi,
I tried ChargeTime, but this wasn't what I'm looking for.
My weapon is like a steel pipe, it takes about 1 second
before you hit your target, because you have to swing the
weapon first. When I adjust the "ChargeTime", it just waits 1
second before even showing the animation, than it shows the
animation but the enemy is dead before swinging the weapon.
But thanks for trying to help me 
Do you or does anyone else know how to get this weapon first swing
and then hurt you opponent?
Kind Regards,
Brian

Well, I'm not necessarily the one who's coding 
But thanks, Jerad, that sounds promising.

Just slow the projectile down (maybe give it a bit of a spray to make up for its slowness)?

Hi,
If you are slowing the projectile down, I don't think it will matter, because it's an melee weapon, if you are in melee range of your target you will always hit the enemy within a second. Because you will most of the time run against the enemy and than "shoot". So the projectile won't travel a distance most of the time I suppose.
Kind regards,
Brian

Well the answer is simple, change the animation, or as I've said, slow the projectile down, no real other way to do it under scripts 3.4.4, never know, 4.0 might have you covered be there is no way telling when thats going to come out...
| Cabal8616 wrote on Wed, 04 March 2009 09:19 |
I see what he means. Basically the same thing with Reborn's crowbar- the animation makes it appear slow, but the actual hit is instant. He wants to make it so the animation and actual projectile firing are synced.
|
And yes I know, but thats quite impossible with 3.4.4, you can only do things like make the project appear like its hitting at the same instance by making it travel slow. You could do some fancy stuff with scripting and damage detection attaching a timer to the object when the weapon shoots you, then when the timer expires if your still in range of the person apply the damage, but that has some obvious flaws...
Personally I'd rather just either redo the animation, or wait for 4.0 and see if they have rigged up animations for first hand models, as then you could use a script to make it so that when you click the animation starts, that way as long as you were holding it charge time would fire and it'd work.
Also keep in mind a lot of people don't play Renegade in first person...
