I don't have anything useful to say on the topic, but I have something useful to say about spelling.

If you use FireFox, it highlights misspelled words in red and you can right click on the highlighted word and it displays alternatives.

Very useful.

firefox..i also here it is a bit better at not caching viruses off the web [chooses words carefuly]

ive been planning on getting it, but never did it, so im doing it now

[ceriux]

why not set up a 2ndary trigger which is just a copy of the 1st shot, and have it bound to mouse 2, that way when u click both it fires both? i think there's a tutorial for setting up a 2ndary trigger somewhere i read. ill try and find it if you want?

[metchsteekle]

...i don't see it at inside3d so i don't know where it would be, all the other QC sites (whoa it FF even knows what QC is) so ya post it if you can find it please. but don't go through too much trouble

The animation and actual shooting are handled seperately from W_Attack in weapons.qc

You could possibly call W_FireShotgun (); from the animation code [function player_shot5 in player.qc]. Keep in mind that the function removes ammo, so as it is, ammo will be used twice. You can message me in AIM or ICQ if you have more questions, not too many people code qc a lot, here.

The best way to show people what you are talking about is to post up the code in question. Post what you have on your modified animation sequences.

From what I THINK you are saying, you modified the animation sequence for the super shotgun to shoot each barrel individually?

[metchsteekle]

yes thats exactly what i did,

added shotgun frames

void()	player_shot1 =	[$shotatt1, player_shot2	] {self.weaponframe=1;
self.effects = self.effects | EF_MUZZLEFLASH;};
void()	player_shot2 =	[$shotatt2, player_shot3	] {self.weaponframe=2;};
void()	player_shot3 =	[$shotatt3, player_shot4	] {self.weaponframe=3;};
void()	player_shot4 =	[$shotatt4, player_shot5	] {self.weaponframe=4;};
void()	player_shot5 =	[$shotatt5, player_shot6	] {self.weaponframe=5;};
void()	player_shot6 =	[$shotatt6, player_shot7	] {self.weaponframe=6;}; // changed for shot
void()	player_shot7 =	[$shotatt1, player_shot8	] {self.weaponframe=7; //added for shot
self.effects = self.effects | EF_MUZZLEFLASH;};
void()	player_shot8 =	[$shotatt2, player_shot9	] {self.weaponframe=8;};
void()	player_shot9 =	[$shotatt3, player_shot10	] {self.weaponframe=9;};
void()	player_shot10 =	[$shotatt4, player_shot11	] {self.weaponframe=10;};
void()	player_shot11 =	[$shotatt5, player_shot12	] {self.weaponframe=11;};
void()	player_shot12 =	[$shotatt6, player_run	] {self.weaponframe=12;}; //end add for shot

and im planning on adding reload frames, so thee *might* be more

im also planning on putting gyro i so when you shoot you and people around fly back, like maybe make it a shaved elephant shotgun

//looiking at this now i think ill use "player_stand[s]" for the reloading

[Bam]

Well, as it is currently, W_FireShotgun () is only called once, at the time of attack. There is no other function to make it shoot again in the middle of the animation sequence. By adding W_FireShotgun () and self.attack_finished = time + 0.5; in player_shot7 () it should work correctly.

Are you understanding why it isn't firing that second shot now?

[metchsteekle]

ya, kind of like with the nailgrunts and they were only shooting one nail

[metchsteekle]

hmm it works but now if i fire the shotgun it will shoot a super shotgun blast after [fast enough to gib every monster in e1m1]

i think i need2 shotgun sequences , i have an idea on how and where to put it to

this is gonna be cool XD

edit: it worked [yay]

oh if your still interested, here's that 2ndary trigger tutorial.

[metchsteekle]

#
void() W_MoveFinger =
#
{
#
       if (self.finger == 0)
#
       {
#
            self.finger = 1; // now put it on the other trigger
#
            centerprint(self,"Secondary Mode\n"); // let him know
#
            return;
#
       }
#
       if (self.finger == 1)
#
       {
#
            self.finger = 0; // ditto
#
            centerprint(self,"Primary Mode\n");
#
            return;
#
       }
#
};

some of that looks weird, are u sure it will work, or does it need some deciphering?

edit !!!WHOA!!!1 where did all the weirdness go????, on the site it has a bunch if "@,#,$,%,8" in it

[ceriux]

so did it fix itself or no? im getting the weirdness now too...
