[GULTHEX]

how would i heres what i got so far

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onWeaponFired()

{

  // testing purpose only

  freezeplayer(.01);

  setani("millenium_scar-fire", "");

  

  this.spread=.1;

  this.speed=5;

  this.reload=50;

  this.load=50;

  

  temp.angl = getangle(vecx(player.dir), vecy(player.dir))+random(this.spread*-1,this.spread);

  shoot(player.x + 0.5 + vecx(player.dir), player.y + vecy(player.dir), player.z, temp.angl, 0, 0, "idle", player.dir);

}

if(actionprojectile){

hurt 1;

}

---

so how would i make it go rapidfire without holding tab and d :P

You'll want to use onKeyPressed() and GraalControl.onKeyUp()

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.spread = 0.1;
  this.freeze = 0.1; // player freeze time
  this.speed = 0.05; // controls the timeout
  this.reload = 50;
  this.load = 50;
}
function onKeyPressed(code, key, scan) {
  if (player.weapon != this) {
    return; // weapon not selected
  }
  
  if (this.keyD) {
    return;
  }
  
  if (key == "d") {
    this.keyD = true;
    this.onTimeOut();
  }
}

function GraalControl.onKeyUp(code, key, scan) {
  if (key == "d") {
    this.keyD = false;
    this.setTimer(0); // end the timeout, stop shooting
  }
}

function onTimeOut() { // this is where the shooting goes
  freezePlayer(this.freeze);
  setAni("millenium_scar-fire", NULL);

  temp.angl = getangle(vecx(player.dir), vecy(player.dir))+random(this.spread*-1,this.spread);
  
  shoot(player.x + 0.5 + vecx(player.dir), player.y + vecy(player.dir), player.z, temp.angl, 0, 0, "idle", player.dir);
  setTimer(this.speed);
} 


You'll also need to add checks for things like reloading, etc.


Also, remember not to mix GS1 and GS2 (and not to use GS1), such as you're doing here:

PHP Code:

if(actionprojectile){

hurt 1;

} 


The proper way to do that is:

PHP Code:

function onActionProjectile() {
  hurt(1);
} 


...which should go in a system weapon, anyway.

You could use onWeaponFired instead of onKeyPressed in cbk's example as well I believe, so if you have multiple guns it won't fire them at the same time.

Using key == keyname(4) instead of key == "d" would be better to use as well, so it's re-mappable by players.

function onTimeout() {
  // Check if weapon currently selected.
  if (this.id == selectedweapon) {
    // Check if "D" / Weapon key is pressed down
    if (keydown(4)) onShoot();
    // Loop
    setTimer(0.1);
  }
  else setTimer(0.1);
}

function onShoot() {
  // Gun shooting stuff here.
  /*
      would be your onWeaponFired code.
  */
} 


Why would you always have a timeout running if not needed? And yeah, I forgot to add if the weapon was selected in mine, oops.

Also, "on" is for events, not for functions

[DustyPorViva]

onKeypressed will keep firing over and over, because of the repeat function(which is dependent on the player's OS keyboard settings, which makes it unreliable for game settings like this, as some players may fire faster than others).

You could simply do something like this:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.firerate = .1;
}

function onWeaponFired() {
  while (keydown(4)) {
    FireGun();
    sleep(this.firerate);
  }
}

function FireGun() {
  //shoot stuff
} 


However, I have been told using sleep is bad before, so this may get some resistance.

Was just providing a different way to do things, and I like to be able to trigger, and schedule the functions I make.

Fair enough, didn't mean to jump on you

EDIT: Updated my first post with something that should fix the onKeyPressed repeat

Could use waitfor instead, that function is pretty cool i.e:

PHP Code:

function onWeaponFired() {
  while (keydown(4) && !this.jammed) {
    FireGun();
    waitfor(this, "Jammed", this.firerate);
  }
}

function onJammed() {
  this.jammed = true;
  player.chat = "$#!&ing gun jammed.";
} 


and have some sort of script behind the scenes throw out random jammed events to guns.
