Help: Making a weapon

[Dnegel]

The best way to learn to script is to ask the ones that knows it, that's what i've learned so here we go, im gonna be using Testbed as server.

I have made a GFX of a Weapon, and I have also made a GANI for Reload, Idling, Walking / Running and Firing.

So, what's left is the script.

And here is it when your help comes in; Do you maybe know a perfect thread for this, tutorial or maybe you can just explain it easily in a post?

It's your choice, and if your here to be an idiot then you can just press the X button in the north-east corner of your Web Browser.

I want this to be a serious thread, im here to learn, not to waste time.

Thanks.

I know that I need to find it out by myself, but I was mostly wanting like, a good start. And that's why I made this thread, it would maybe help others to that need help with such scripts?

Thanks for the site, though I know about it already, and I have read it. But of course, im not gonna stop reading, I will go read now anyways so yeh.

And thanks for the replies.

Note: But it's right that I need to make a Weapon System in Classes right?

Umm, well usually you would start off by making a Weapon System in...weapons. But maybe you know you should start on a lot of smaller things to cover all the basics and make sure you understand some of the most simple yet confusing things.

I understand a little, but I still need a little push to get started.

Honestly, if you don't have any prior coding experience...and that was an assumption which could possibly be wrong, it's going to hard to try and teach yourself. Like it was for me. If you can find a good teacher to try and show you the path and things then you will learn Gscript relatively easily. Gah...where's Hell Raven when you need him.

Mhmmm yes, I can of course try to do it all alone.

But that will take alot of time, and I dont wanna use that much time. I mostly just wanna learn some basics in scripting.

Best way to learn, is to practice on your own. You're really not going to learn how to script by depending on other people on the forums to "guide" you in the right direction.

I knwo your right, and I would try to practice.

First I need to make a way to show the weapon when I click a button, D for example.

Experiment, experiment and experiment! When you find out about a function you didn't know about, work with it. Pinch and pull every part of GScript until you know what it can do and what it can't do.

If you need someone to help you when you get stuck, send a message my way on MSN, AIM or on here.

Looking at other people's scripts also help quite a lot.

I also agree that you're jumping in at the deep end here. Take small projects, and build on them. Then choose a slightly bigger project, so on and so forth.

Thanks, I will try to do so then.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE 


Go.

[Dnegel]

Lol, I know that one.

I guess it will start with

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
 functionTest();

If you do not have your function call inside a function block then it will result in unusual behaviour (being called every time an event occurs perhaps, which would get very messy and use a lot of CPU time). Instead you should call your function from specific events (i.e. onCreated being called when the NPC is updated or the script is first loaded):

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()
{
  functionTest();
} 


[Dnegel]

Ahhh, many thanks for that reminder.

Im thinking about making a script, when you press a button, you shoot.

Im currently now sitting left with this, but the ani wouldnt show, im sure it's something to do with the
if (buttonpressed) (d); .

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()
{
  functionTest();
   if (buttonpressed)(d);
   setani ("mp7-fire","");
}

You do know that making up your own events isn't going to work, correct? Like almost everyone has already told you, stop trying to depend on us. It's pretty obvious that you haven't even attempted to learn Gscript or you wouldn't be posting silly things like if (buttonpressed)(d);. That doesn't exist, and I'm pretty sure that it never will. So please, go and try to take atleast 10 minutes out of your time and read some scripting tutorials that are posted everywhere on these forums, than come back with a half way reasonable script which we can attempt to help me with. As for your script atm:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTISIDE
function onKeyPressed( keycode, keyname ) {
  if ( keyname == "D" ) {

    setani ("mp7-fire","");
  }
} 


Something along the lines of that would be more suitable for what you're looking for. But please, don't just use the script I've posted for you, go and edit it adding two lines, than coming back here and asking for help again.

[Dnegel]

Ahhh, finally someone wrote something * Puts hands togheter *

Great respond to.

Well, I guess your right, because you know this more than me. But I have actually read alot, but I guess I didn't have it all scheduled.

Now I got it all scheduled though, and I will actually find scripts lines that works.

Im starting fresh again.

If you only ever take lines of code without ever understanding how they work, you will just become another player world parasite destined to detriment future development. Read the Graal Bible, read the tutorials out there and learn to help yourself.

The graal forums do not support parasitic developers very long....Jigga is a good example of this.

[Riot]

Important thing to note: Do not have a space before the parenthesis.

setani ("mp7-fire",""); will invoke the GS1 form and attempt to set your ani to ("mp7-fire".gani

Remove the space so it becomes: setani("mp7-fire","");

[Dnegel]

Ahhh, thank you very much Riot for that fix.

And to you Twinny, I have read the tutorials.
