  force reloadhow would i force a gun to reload?
I'm editing the duel fire mode template to be triggered by a key, not the pie menu & to force the gun to reload when it switches between modes. Also i plan to make it play a sound (probably to device switch noise from base files) to let you know you changed modes. I know how to set it to be triggered by a key, the reloading part has me stumped. -thanks |

Re: force reload thank you
I seem to have missed something when making it switch by pressing F I'm not sure what i did wrong. also I'm thinking that adding AEmitter to play a sound at switch would be redundant due to the reload sound would already play. ... Just ignore the AEmitter I'm going to edit it out. Mode1 code Code: -- this edit is a work in progress function Create(self) self.switchToWeapon = "Spiderbot Grenade Launcher Alt-Fire"; -- PresetName of gun to switch to self.switchToClass = "HDFirearm"; end function Update(self) local actor = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID); if MovableMan:IsActor(actor) then local actor = ToAHuman(actor); if UInputMan:KeyHeld(6) then -- press f to switch modes HDFirearm:Reload(); -- force reload as soon as weapon switches -- ?????? = CreateAEmitter("SwitchSound", "X-9.rte"); -- play sound... might not need this due to it reloading if self.switchToClass == "HDFirearm" then local switchGun = actor:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm(self.switchToWeapon)); elseif self.switchToClass == "TDExplosive" then local switchGun = actor:AddInventoryItem(CreateTDExplosive(self.switchToWeapon)); elseif self.switchToClass == "HeldDevice" then local switchGun = actor:AddInventoryItem(CreateHeldDevice(self.switchToWeapon)); end actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP,true); self.ToDelete = true; end end end Last edited by salt_1219 on Sat Sep 10, 2011 9:14 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: force reload Could you put some code tags around that? Kinda hard to read.
Edit: When I said "HDFirearm:Reload()," you're supposed to replace 'HDFirearm' with the pointer to an HDFirearm. |

Re: force reload Ok thanks, sorry im typing on my cell.
I will add code blocks & add the pointer. Okay stupid question here, the pointer in this case would be the guns name? self.wepname = "Grenade Launcher"; or gun.PresetName == "Grenade Launche"; -- no, that would be for a if statement, and would mean equal to. ("Grenade Launcher"):Reload(); I really need to look at more scripts, I clearly have trouble even doing a simple edit. |

Re: force reload Well, if the script is attached to the weapon, then the weapon is "self" pointer. And if you want to reload the weapon then you do self:Reload().
