Dual Weapon Mode Template *Pie

This is a template for a weapon with duel firing modes.

What this is exactly is a template for a gun the can toggle between a main firing mode and an alt firing mode, such as an assault rifle + grenade launcher, or remote-detonated bombs + detonator, whatever you want. To toggle firing modes, hold the Pie Menu button and select the AI Gold Dig option. Feel free to use this for any mod you like. You don't have to ask for permission, but be sure to give credits. If the directions confuse you (I'm not good at giving directions) or if you have any other problems with this, PM me.

And here's a version that uses the new Pie menu buttons, but there aren't any directions on how to implement them yet. I'll write some up later. And by later, I mean in a very long time.

I put a description of exactly what this does in the OP, along with how to toggle the firing mode in-game, for people who never used my pulse rifles. Updated: Mac Compatable! Sorry to any mac users who were unable use this mod before, but it should work now. And whoever put in the "Bump Topic" option after you edit a topic, many thanks to you.

WOW! If I ever get 'round to learning Lua, I will so use this. Great tool anyway.

Scripts are now using my latest switching scripts and the whole thing should be faster and more reliable.

I love this template, but I have run into a bit of a snag balance-wise with it. Every time I switch modes, it resets the ammo and reloads the gun to full when I get to it again. So I can fire all rounds out of say a minigun, switch to alt mode then back again fast, and my minigun is full up. Is there a way to modify the Lua to retain ammo information? I know that dropped weapons keep their ammo information (at least if you fire all the rounds out of your own gun and pick it back up it's still empty).

It's possible to move the switched gun somewhere off-screen to maintain ammo information, but you can't actually save and set ammo values with Lua. You would also have to make the actor pick the device up when switching instead of directly adding the gun to the actor's inventory, which could lead to the actor accidentally picking up a different device. Also, while the device is off-screen, it can be effected by other Lua mods and will add another active device in-game, possibly making other devices settle.

You'd probably have to merge it with M90 Shotgun's code.

Bleh, that means the device would have to have Lua'd firing and would be pretty complicated. And I don't feel like making a generic Lua'd gun template.

Funny how the simplest things can become so complex when it comes to modding this game.

There is a reason why complex things are many small things put together. The problem is pattern detection.

Lol, I forgot something important for this to work when creating it with the build menu. Fixed.
