VCEPrints, how do you make it refresh when you fire any weapon?
Kiwi:
I'm working on my modification of a weaponpack with ammo.
Whenever I shoot I want to make VCEPrint refresh, so it always shows the actual ammo amount.
I tried this but without any success.
--- Code: ---function Image::onFire(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
Parent::onFire(%this,%obj,%slot);
%this.client.VCEPrints();
}
--- End code ---
If possible, can you make it so that it will refresh with any weapon?
Bauklotz:
1> Well, %this is the Image, the datablock. Use %obj.client - %obj is the image OBJECT.
2> The classname of weapon datablocks are not 'Image', but 'shapeBaseImageData'.
3> Does GameConnection::VCEPrints exist?
4> Some weapons have special firing methods, and some don't. For some weapons you need a package, for some you don't. For some you need a completely diffirent method of 'detecting fire'.

No, they don't.
VCEPrints only updates on certain triggers, as opposed to my version, HUDPrints, which updates every 100ms.
