Hey guys,

I'm just started modding and I'm looking to modify someone's M1 Garand weapon(p3lb0x's, let me know if you have a problem with this). Make it as accurate as i can, bullet weight(if possible) muzzle velocity, gun weight, sounds, etc.

1. So I am looking for an explanation of weapon vars. The wiki had them for shields and bombs but not guns.

2. And it is possible to put a bayonet on it without too much fuss?

Thanks alot guys.

For your first question, there are a few tutorials in this very forum that should clear things up. Azukki's template should contain everything you need, just keep in mind that all of the variables that contribute to a weapon's performance are spread out over at least three things: Round, magazine, and weapon itself. Variable names should be clear enough for the most part, it's just that you have to know where to look.

As for the bayonet, sure. Don't expect it to do anything, though. People have simulated the effect by attaching an emitter to the weapon, but it's prone to lagging and destroying rockets as soon as you come out.

If you made a bayonet sprite, and made it a very high friction material, and made it an attachable, and attached it to the Garand, a bayonet just might work.

Actually, now that we have the emission starting/ending times, you could probably make an emitter based bayonet that doesn't kill it's deliverers.

Anyways, when you look through it all, it becomes pretty self-explanatory.
AddDevice = HDFirearm adds a new device that is a held device firearm.
PresetName names this object.
AddToGroup adds the thing to a group.
Description describes it for the buy menu.
Mass determines how heavy it is. In kilograms.
HitsMOs determines if it hits other mass objects. 1 = yes, 0 = no, for this kind of stuff
GetsHitByMOs determines if it gets hit by other mass objects.
SpriteFile = ContentFile, the object's sprite's file is a content file...
FilePath, which can be found at this filepath
FrameCount determines how many frames it has.
RateOfFire is rate of fire.
ReloadTime is the time it takes to reload.
ParticleSpreadRange is the spread range of the particle. (eg, bullets)
ShakeRange is the range of how much actors 'shake' it.
SharpShakeRange is the range of how much actors shake it when sharp-aiming.
FireSound is the sound it makes when you fire.
JointStrength is how well actors can grip it.
GoldValue is the value of the object in gold.
RoundCount is the number of rounds in a magazine.
Sharpness is how sharp a particle is.
LifeTime is how long until something disappears.
FireVelocity is the velocity at which the particle is fired.

Are you starting to get the general idea, here? It's not terribly hard to assume what something does, try it, and then undo it when you mess it up.

oh yeah! i forgot about the Awesomenesszorzers of B22.

Sweet, thanks guys. I'm going to start working on a WWII mod, i haven't seen one yet.

Yarr. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12269&start=15&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&view=viewpoll
Still in development.

doolspin, there has been tonnes of WW2 mods. so many, in fact, I may have to kill you for making one unless it's REALLY REALLY good. REALLY.

Got any links?
