Changing weapon images after an image state passes

takato14:
Title is confusing, I know, I just couldnt word it better. Its actually pretty simple what Im trying to do. What I want is for my weapon to switch to a different image datablock after it finishes firing. At the end of the script theres a "done" state containing the stateScript "onDone", which I want to use to switch datablocks. But its not working for me. Can I have a little help with the syntax here?

(PLEASE NOTE THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING A FUNCTION MYSELF SO DONT BE MEAN.)

--- Code: ---
datablock ShapeBaseImageData(HiBlastImage)
{
   // Basic Item properties
   shapeFile = "./vectorray.dts";
   emap = true;

   // Specify mount point & offset for 3rd person, and eye offset
   // for first person rendering.
   mountPoint = 0;
   offset = "0 0 0";
   eyeOffset = 0; //"0.7 1.2 -0.5";
   rotation = eulerToMatrix( "0 0 0" );

   // When firing from a point offset from the eye, muzzle correction
   // will adjust the muzzle vector to point to the eye LOS point.
   // Since this weapon doesn't actually fire from the muzzle point,
   // we need to turn this off.
   correctMuzzleVector = true;

   // Add the WeaponImage namespace as a parent, WeaponImage namespace
   // provides some hooks into the inventory system.
   className = "WeaponImage";

   // Projectile && Ammo.
   item = XItem;
   ammo = " ";
   projectile = XProjectile;
   projectileType = Projectile;

   //melee particles shoot from eye node for consistancy
   melee = false;
   //raise your arm up or not
   armReady = true;
   minShotTime = 1500;

   doColorShift = true;
   colorShiftColor = vectorItem.colorShiftColor;

   // Images have a state system which controls how the animations
   // are run, which sounds are played, script callbacks, etc. This
   // state system is downloaded to the client so that clients can
   // predict state changes and animate accordingly. The following
   // system supports basic ready->fire->reload transitions as
   // well as a no-ammo->dryfire idle state.

   // Initial start up state
stateName[0] = "Activate";
stateTimeoutValue[0] = 0.15;
stateTransitionOnTimeout[0] = "Ready";
stateSequence[0] = "Ready";
stateSound[0] = weaponSwitchSound;

stateName[1] = "Ready";
stateTransitionOnTriggerDown[1] = "Fire";
stateAllowImageChange[1] = true;
stateTimeoutValue[1] = 0.01;

stateName[2] = "Fire";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[2] = "Smoke";
stateTimeoutValue[2] = 0.14;
stateFire[2] = true;
stateAllowImageChange[2] = false;
stateSequence[2] = "Fire";
stateScript[2] = "onFire";
stateWaitForTimeout[2] = true;
stateEmitter[2] = gunFlashEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[2] = 0.05;
stateEmitterNode[2] = "muzzleNode";
stateSound[2] = XFireSound;

stateName[3] = "Smoke";
stateEmitterTime[3] = 0.1;
stateEmitterNode[3] = "muzzleNode";
stateTimeoutValue[3] = 0.5;
stateTransitionOnTimeout[3] = "Reload";

stateName[4] = "Reload";
stateTimeoutValue[4] = 1;
stateSequence[4] = "reload";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[4] = "Wait";
stateWaitForTimeout[4] = true;
stateEjectShell[4] = true;

stateName[5] = "Wait";
stateTimeoutValue[5] = 0.1;
stateTransitionOnTimeout[5] = "Ready";

};

package HiBlastSplitterBeam
{
   function Armor::onTrigger(%this,%obj,%slot,%val)
   {
   Parent::onTrigger(%this,%obj,%slot,%val);
   if(%slot == 4 && %val)
   {
   if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) == HiBlastImage.getID())
   {
   %obj.updateArm(XImage);
   %obj.mountImage(XImage,0);
   }
   else if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) == XImage.getID())
   {
   %obj.updateArm(XImage);
   %obj.mountImage(HiBlastImage,0);
   }
   }
   }

function XImage::onDone(%this,%obj,%slot,%val)
   {
   if(%slot == 4 && %val)
   {
   if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) == HiBlastImage.getID())
   {
   %obj.updateArm(XImage);
   %obj.mountImage(XImage,0);
   }
   else if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) == XImage.getID())
   {
   %obj.updateArm(XImage);
   %obj.mountImage(HiBlastImage,0);
   }
   }
   }

};
activatePackage(HiBlastSplitterBeam);

--- End code ---
EDIT: After looking this over I now realize there was no way this was going to work. But I still dont know how I would properly do this. Help would be very much appreciated.

Asdf this is simple people! I just suck at Torque's syntax. :c

Figured it out on my own. Lock'd
