Delayed shell ejection and three-shot burst

Blockland Forums > Modification Help

(1/2) > >>

A Twig:
For a long time I have been trying to understand where in the hell the sequence parts for delayed shell ejection are. I have looked at many weapons for example the old Weapon_Shotgun, and I have yet to figure out where it is located. If anyone can help show me in this code where I can edit and make the weapon have a delayed ejection. I.E. When I fire a bolt-action, 2 seconds later bolt pulls back and the ejection is set.

--- Code: ---
stateName[0]="Activate";
stateTimeoutValue[0]=0.15;
stateTransitionOnTimeout[0]="AmmoCheck";
stateSequence[0]="use";
stateSound[0]=R700CBDeploySound;

stateName[1]="Ready";
stateTransitionOnTriggerDown[1]="Fire1";
stateAllowImageChange[1]=true;
stateTransitionOnNoAmmo[1]="Empty";

stateName[2]="Fire1";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[2]="AmmoCheck";
stateTimeoutValue[2]="1";
stateFire[2]=true;
stateAllowImageChange[2]=false;
stateWaitForTimeout[2]=true;
stateEmitter[2]=R700CBFlashEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[2]=0.05;
stateEmitterNode[2]="muzzlePoint";
stateSound[2]=R700CBFireSound;
stateScript[2]="onFire1";
stateEjectShell[2]=true;
stateSequence[2]="Fire";

stateName[3]="Fire2";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[3]="AmmoCheck";
stateTimeoutValue[3]="0.1";
stateFire[3]=true;
stateAllowImageChange[3]=false;
stateWaitForTimeout[3]=true;
stateEmitter[3]=R700CBFlashEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[3]=0.05;
stateEmitterNode[3]="muzzlePoint";
stateSound[3]=R700CBFireSound;
stateScript[3]="onFire2";
stateEjectShell[3]=true;
stateSequence[3]="Fire";

stateName[4]="AmmoCheck";
stateTransitionOnTriggerUp[4]="Ready";
stateAllowImageChange[4]=true;
stateScript[4]="onAmmoCheck";

stateName[5]="Reload";
stateTimeoutValue[5]=1.5;
stateSequence[5]="Reload";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[5]="Done";
stateWaitForTimeout[5]=true;
stateSound[5]=R700CBReloadSound;
stateAllowImageChange[5]=true;
stateSequence[5]="Reload";

stateName[6]="Done";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[6]="Ready";
stateTimeoutValue[6]=0.1;
stateAllowImageChange[6]=true;
stateScript[6]="onReload";

stateName[7]="Empty";
stateTransitionOnTriggerDown[7]="EmptyFire";
stateAllowImageChange[7]=true;
stateTransitionOnAmmo[7]="Reload";

stateName[8]="EmptyFire";
stateTransitionOnTriggerUp[8]="Ready";
stateTimeoutValue[8]="0.15";
stateAllowImageChange[8]=false;
stateWaitForTimeout[8]=true;
stateSound[8]=R700CBClickSound;

Second I want to mention is how to get a weapon to fire three shots in one click. The Left 4 Dead 2 weapon pack did it correctly even with the ammo code. I have wanted to have burst fire weapons for a while now, and I still cannot see where to make a weapon act like so. If anyone can show me what to edit or what to add (If it's a function) then please post below. If you do know how to do any of these and wish to help me understand so I can do it, don't be a wiseass and speak in riddles. If you know tell me so I actually get it. It's not a secret since many people know it, so don't act like it is one.

Slicks555:
My weapon coding is a little rusty, but if I remember correctly, stateTimeoutValue is how long it takes for the next state to be called. So, for example, if you wanted a 2 second gap before reloading it would look like this:

--- Code: --- stateName[3]="Fire2";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[3]="AmmoCheck";
stateTimeoutValue[3]="2.0"; // I think this value is in seconds.
stateFire[3]=true;
stateAllowImageChange[3]=false;
stateWaitForTimeout[3]=true;
stateEmitter[3]=R700CBFlashEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[3]=0.05;
stateEmitterNode[3]="muzzlePoint";
stateSound[3]=R700CBFireSound;
stateScript[3]="onFire2";
stateEjectShell[3]=true;
stateSequence[3]="Fire";
};
--- End code ---

Please, however, correct me if I am wrong.

As for the three shot burst, that's something you have to write in WhateverImage::onFire(). Look at Ephi's shotgun as a reference. Or any shotgun, really.

A Twig:
stateTimeoutValue for onFire deters how long you have to wait until you can fire again. The Sniper Rifle you have to wait about 3-4 seconds until you can fire again, therefore that value is "3.0" or "3". Thank you for your concern though.

To be precise, it determines how long the delay between entering the state and switching to the state specified by stateTransitionOnTimeout should be.

This, but I was just using the Fire State as an example.
