Can someone tell me how to make something akimbo?

[RFW2]

I was gonna try and make Swords Akimbo, and I was wondering how to... well... make it Akimbo.
Do you have to add something to the script?

You make 2 ImageDatablocks for the model (Can just be the same .dts)
Then add one of these:

Code: [Select]

mountPoint = 0; //Right hand
mountPoint = 1; //Left hand

And you need some code to make both weapons show: (Replace Rightimage and Leftimage with the datablock name..)

Code: [Select]

function Rightimage::SecondFire(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   %obj.setImageTrigger(1,1); //This makes you fire the image in your left hand
}

function Rightimage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   Parent::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot); //Calls the usual onMount function
      %obj.mountImage(Leftimage, 1); //And mounts the left gun
      %obj.playThread(0, armreadyboth); //Raises both arms
}

function Rightimage::onUnMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   Parent::OnUnMount(%this, %obj, %slot); //Calls the usual onUnMount
      %obj.unMountImage(1); //Removes the image in the left hand (Leftimage)
      %obj.playThread(0, root); //Plays normal standing animation
}

What would I add to the script, if I wanted to make dual swords?

[goz3rr]

I told you, You create 2 datablocks, One for each sword,
Then add one of these:

Code: [Select]

mountPoint = 0; //Right hand
mountPoint = 1; //Left hand

Then add this to your script, Replacing Rightimage and Leftimage

Code: [Select]

function Rightimage::SecondFire(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   %obj.setImageTrigger(1,1); //This makes you fire the image in your left hand
}

function Rightimage::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   Parent::onMount(%this, %obj, %slot); //Calls the usual onMount function
      %obj.mountImage(Leftimage, 1); //And mounts the left gun
      %obj.playThread(0, armreadyboth); //Raises both arms
}

function Rightimage::onUnMount(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   Parent::OnUnMount(%this, %obj, %slot); //Calls the usual onUnMount
      %obj.unMountImage(1); //Removes the image in the left hand (Leftimage)
      %obj.playThread(0, root); //Plays normal standing animation
}

Can you please show me the whole code, with the weapon called "DualSwords"?
I dont know how to create datablocks...

[goz3rr]

Send me your script.

[RFW2]

Okay, but its just an edit of the sword script.

[goz3rr]

I'm cycling between school (Sport stuff) and home :P

I'll just add the code for you, Watch out for the PM.

[goz3rr]

Oh and change the Shapefile (DualSwords.dts) to the normal sword dts.

[RFW2]

Do I need 2 sword.dts's in the folder?

[goz3rr]

Do I need 2 sword.dts's in the folder?

No

[Devvy]

No need to even have a sword.dts in the folder. Just make the model selection grab it from your default sword folder.

[Cyanian]

No need to even have a sword.dts in the folder. Just make the model selection grab it from your default sword folder.

To do that put Weapon_Sword/Sword.dts where the shapefile datablock should be.

[ottosparks]

You could, like, forcerequiredaddon for the sword.

Then get the .dts from that.

else

Set the UI name "" (I don't know if that's an acceptable compromise, but meh.)
