?Customizable Gun?

[(SWAT)28199]

-Insert Lecture On Why This Can't Happen-

Let's think about it shell we?

Hmm lets see... I'm not asking for anything Realistic as the airsoft gun, most just want something modeled defaultish-ly, you know, kind of like that assault rifle thing. Yeah yeah that's cool.

Probably let's see here... 2 Barrels maybe? Kinda like the assault rifles barrel, and a shotgun barrel? Hm...
Then another nod...

And then we could have the receiver, maybe 2 again, like you know, a shotgun receiver, and the default gun receiver?
And something else... Ah yes,

1 Scope, (just for looks) [Enable,disable]
Shouldn't be to much datablocks right? Again I'm just saying, simple looking defaultish stuff.

Then Just a plain handle, nothing really to customize.

Then 2 clips and a no clip thing, a drum mag, and assault rifle?

[Cancel out that bullet thing]

How many datablocks would that lead me down too?
(Drum roll please)

PS: I honestly don't want anyone upset about the fact that I have made a request of something that seems "Impossible", I know It seems that way, but there really isn't a need to get your jimmy's rustled over it.

You're an idiot

Experienced people are telling you it won't happen

This isn't meant to happen, and any person who does this with datablocks is more of an idiot than you

If this was possible, it would have been done a long time ago

[Lugnut]

4 points of binary customization with one point of ternary customization
2*2*2*2*3 = 24

that, i must admit, is actually feasible.

24 models isn't too bad. larger model sets have happened.

[MARBLE MAN]

The closest to this happening is mounting a bot to the player's left hand and model every node. Which is still a bad way to do it because you can't spawn the correct weapon as a drop.

Lugnut, 24 models is too many for one weapon

[Lugnut]

yeah, but there's weapon packs with like 80, right?

it's only 24 datablocks, no variation in any of the bullets, so everything is purely a model change

[Johnny Blockhead]

I think that there should be two possible projectiles
It would be the default gun's and the rocket launcher's.
You would simply need to force enable them, and it wouldn't create any new datablocks (just using default ones)

You're an idiot

Frankly , I must admit, This hurt me, because I am a fan of your work.

that, i must admit, is actually feasible.

The fact that the style would be more defaultish would help lower stuff I suppose?

Hey guys

did anyone actually try it yet?

People are assuming it's not going to work. Unfortunately that is the case.

[TristanLuigi]

SWAT, give it up. Making this functional will either take a stuffton of datablocks (possibly more than Blockland can even load) or will have so little customization that it's not worth it.

Trust me, I want this too, but it's not possible to do it well.

[Johnny Blockhead]

stuffton of datablocks (possibly more than Blockland can even load)

I smell someone that didn't read the topic
Guys, its completely possible.
Only 24 datablocks.
Now you say, well some gun packs have 80 so its a waste1!1111
Well, this is really a gun pack, except all powered into one gun.
This thing has potential.

The changes are only cosmetic, though.

You would simply need to force enable them, and it wouldn't create any new datablocks (just using default ones)

now you're up to 48 possibilities, and yes, you do need new datablocks. none for the projectile (which i didn't even count in my original projections) but you do need guns that use the right projectile and the right model.

The changes are only cosmetic, though.

not necessarily

Hey guys

some things you just don't have to try if you know the constraints of the system you're working in.

our jimmies were rustled because you weren't accepting the fact that 3^16 possible combinations is not loving possible in this plane of existance

yeah, 24 unique models with 48 total gun variations is possible, but no one is going to make it because no one wants to make the same gun 24 loving times

We have told you several times that this won't work. why do you continue to think it will.. I understand why you think i was being mean, but if someone repeatedly tells you no, asking will only make them more annoyed. Don't take "idiot" seriously, unless you plan to continue this argument for another 3 pages...

except.. it will.

it will never happen
but it is possible, and not 100% unfeasible
