So basically, all I would like to see is how to code a Musket so that the weapon fires with a delay of about 0.1 seconds. This is best explained with how a Musket actually works :



I'd also like to know how to code the bullet as a MOSParticle. From what I see the only way for a MOSParticle to cause any damage is for it to either explode on impact or have an emitter attached to it. I'm not entirely certain on how it works, either way.

If you noted from my thread title, I don't ask for a sprite, however, if you are willing to try and beat my sprite, the weapon in question is a Charleville .69 Caliber French Musket.

As my avatar suggests, I am a dummy, especially in regards to coding, but I'm willing to learn. I'd appreciate it if you didn't code an entire weapon, but rather a small portion of it, ex.



Not sure if that is the actual parameters for wind up time, but I've checked and tried for the musket and it doesn't work well at all.

Another thing I would definitely like is a large amount of smoke to come out of the lock of the gun, but that is aesthetics and I tend to care about those the least (meaning, don't do it if you don't want to.)

I can help you out.

But to begin with, MOSParticles work exactly the same as a MOPixel, the difference is that this one has a sprite that doesn't rotate.

You probably mean a MOSRotating or an AEmitter.

To have the aesthectics effects you want, you'd have to make the weapon fire an AEmitter that emits the particles you want to be fired (this method is used to reduce recoil, for example, in the Coalition's Revolver Cannon, but it can also be used to fire multiple type of particles at the same time, for example, the Coalition's Flamer).

Well so, the wind up and down code can be copied from the Coalition's Gatling Gun and tweaked to your likings.

i'll maby try and sprite this, not to sure at this point. Busy

Not sure if this is possible without Lua, actually.
I don't think I stated that in my main post.

Bud.
Did you read my post?

If I got it right, it's perfectly possibly with ini, and it's pretty easy.

The problem with a wind up is it would seem unrealistic since you would be able to fire and then cancel the shot.

If you want to go the realistic direction then lua would be the way to go. Making it fire an Emitter would make some nasty muzzle stray without it following the weapon's muzzle properly.

Instead of windup it could just have a slow ROF. Let's say 30, it should fire after 2 second of holding click.

So holding down a click as opposed to just clicking?
I'm playing this with friends, so If you can lua something up really small and tell me what the params do I'd be grateful.

Seriously untested code. If anyone sees any corrections do make them noticed.

Instead of defininf the Muzzle position you could have used self.MuzzlePos.

I wasn't entirely sure if that worked. If you're sure it does then I'll rewrite it.

It's used in Charged Weaponry mod.
A mod that I coded.
And works.

Thanks for clarifying, and fixed.
