claws

[Healbadbad]

im making a dual-wielded claw weapon that when you click both of the claws protrude from your hand, but i can only make one do that, as well as i want to make it so when you right click, the blades go back into your hand by calling a different animation and return to pre-draw, i used a lot from racer's walking stick
my code:

if anyone could help me just figure out how to make both attack/protrude that would be great

That would be done with the animations and state system. Change/make some stateSequence bits to have the claws come out. (You need to add animations to the model)

To make it "un-draw" via states, use %player.setImageAmmo(%slot,%on) and then use stateTransitionOnAmmo[] and stateTransitionOnNoAmmo[] to trigger changes when you right click.

Code: [Select]

//Decals
datablock DecalData(HiddenBladeCI)
{
   textureName = "./CI_HiddenBlade";
};   

datablock DecalData(HiddenBladeIcon)
{
   textureName = "./icon_HiddenBlade";
};Don't do it like this, please. We don't need to be force-downloaded your unnecessary icons - there's already a default ? and skull icon in place for that specific reason.

i can make the reverse animation, but ive been working with the state system for the past few hours trying to figure out how to make both the left and right claw use the draw animation, which i can only make the right one do.

i will definitely take away the decals, and to retract would i add at the bottom something like

Code: [Select]

package HiddenBlade
{
function armor::onTrigger(%this,%player,%slot,%val)
{
if(%player.getMountedImage(0) $= HiddenBladeImage.getID())
{
%player.setImageAmmo(0,0);

}
else
Parent::onTrigger(%this,%player,%slot,%val);
}
};
ActivatePackage(HiddenBlade);
and then place a stateTransitionOnNoAmmo[4] = "Retract";
in the checkfire sequence?

[Space Guy]

Well, that'd affect the right claw. You'd also need to do %player.setImageAmmo(1,0); to affect the one mounted in the left-hand slot.

Assuming you have a "Retract" state for both weapon images, if not you'll need to add one.

that helped me a lot, and i set the statements to retract, but when the statement calls my OnNoAmmo function, it gives me

Code: [Select]

Add-Ons/Weapon_HiddenBlade/server.cs (385): Unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'setImageAmmo'as well as just reverting to the ready statement
the function i have is

Code: [Select]

function HiddenBladeImage::onNoAmmo(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   %player.setImageAmmo(0,1);
   %player.setImageAmmo(1,1);
}
did i set the wrong variables after Ammo?

[Healbadbad]

is there a way to make them both go at once and not alternate like akimbo guns?

[Space Guy]

edit the states

[Healbadbad]

edit the states

k, same exact things ive been doing.

would this actually switch which claw that is used when clicked?

Code: [Select]

function HiddenBladeImage::onFireHidden(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   %obj.setImageTrigger(1,1);
}

im some what new to this game but how the heck do you understand and create this?!?!?!?!? i really have no idea plz personal message me to tell me i dont look back at the things i quote.

It takes time.
Try looking at something smaller, like Weapon_Gun.
