  Controlling guns remotelyI remember a while back there was some telekinesis mod that let you have guns floating around you, and they would fire when you fire. I never really looked at how it worked, and now I'm interested. Rather than digging it up though, I think my question can be answered pretty simply.
If I have script running on an actor, and in that script make a reference to a firearm object, can I make that firearm fire, reload, etc without it actually being held by an actor? If so, that'd make something I'm doing quite a bit easier. |

Re: Controlling guns remotely Fire, yes; it's just pointer:Activate().
I can't recall if there's a reload function, exactly, but I know that once it runs out of ammo the gun will reload as usual, even when not held. |

Re: Controlling guns remotely ITT 0 ammo + Activate = reload.
And that is all I can say. |

Re: Controlling guns remotely For some reason, gun:Activate() isn't working for me.
The weapon catching part: Code: if not(MovableMan:IsDevice(self.gun)) then for item in MovableMan.Items do local itemavgx = item.Pos.X - self.Pos.X; local itemavgy = item.Pos.Y - (self.Pos.Y-15); local itemdist = math.sqrt(itemavgx ^ 2 + itemavgy ^ 2); if itemdist < 20 and item.ClassName == "HDFirearm" then self.gun = item; self.gotgun = true; if self.gun.GetsHitByMOs == true then self.gungethit = true; end end end end The firing part: Code: if MovableMan:IsActor(self.user) then self.gun.RotAngle = self.user:GetAimAngle(false); if self.user:GetController():IsState(Controller.WEAPON_FIRE) then self.gun:Activate(); end end |
