Alternate Melee Fire

[Aware14]

I've been working on my Throwing Knife, I was going to put an alt fire but I think there is something wrong with the script.

Alt fire part of Script:

Code: [Select]

-snip-
I'm not that good at scripting.
So if someone could make this part of the script work for a melee alt fire. I would be gratefull.

Bump. :C

This is what I do. I have it so when you push the light key, it switches modes.

First make 2 images. One is the melee, one is the ranged. Then do the other stuff at the bottom for animations.
Then add this to the script. You have a bunch of spread script crap and ammo crap that I cannot tell what is going on, remove all of that stuff you posted for now. Add this instead.

Code: [Select]

package Devanor
{
function servercmdlight(%client)
{
if(%client.player.getMountedImage(0) $= DevanorImage.getID())
{
  %client.player.mountImage(Devanor2Image,0);
}     

else if(%client.player.getMountedImage(0) $= Devanor2Image.getID())
{
  %client.player.mountImage(DevanorImage,0);
}

}
}
};
ActivatePackage(Devanor);
Change my Devanor to whatever your weapon's name is.

[lordician]

That's not exactly how an alt fire script works Heed.
That's a multiple mode weapon.

Alt fire is more like:
On right click,do other action.
Not changing mode.
Alt fire is more directly as you have to do an alternative fire directly when activated.
