[Request] State Systems Tutorial

[Muffinmix]

I'd like to learn how to make my own State Comands for weapons. Right now I don't really know how they work or how to "stack" them one on top of the other in a sequence. I also don't know any of the state functions particularly, or pretty much anything about them.

In case you're wondering or might not know, I'm talking about these

Code: [Select]

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

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

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] = gunShot1Sound;
stateEjectShell[2]       = true;

stateName[3] = "Smoke";
stateEmitter[3] = gunSmokeEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[3] = 0.05;
stateEmitterNode[3] = "muzzleNode";
stateTimeoutValue[3]            = 0.01;
stateTransitionOnTimeout[3]     = "Reload";

stateName[4] = "Reload";
stateSequence[4]                = "Reload";
stateTransitionOnTriggerUp[4]     = "Ready";
stateSequence[4] = "Ready";

};
Any help would be appreciated

Okay, see state comands. Like say you did "Pwn" as a state Sequence, that'd make a function like:

WEAPONNAME::onPwn(%someonvariablesgohere)
{
}

No it wouldn't. It would activate the weapon animation "pwn". What you mean is stateScript which would not link to weaponName, but weaponImage. Plus you forgot the function declaration.
