Help: Making a weapon
 

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.

Each server has its own weapon system ;)

GScript Guide

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. :p 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. :cry:

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. :)

Go.

Lol, I know that one.

I guess it will start with

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):
