is there a video tutorial of somthing that teaches me how to script a gun. video tutorial is better than a reading tutorial

[megatop]

Reality Factory barely has any video tutorials and they have no tutorials onscripting a gun. The making 3d games in Reality factory is no help. Is there a video tutorial

[megatop]

is it possible that once a week someone can teach me how to script wepons like a trainer

[megatop]

how do i disable the 3d person view in the control.ini mabey than this script will work.

anyways is there any errors in this script

I really hate to quote myself ...

how do i disable the 3d person view in the control.ini

Read the manual!

That's what is was written for.

mabey than this script will work.

No, and I have already told you why:

3rd person weapon actors must have the same skeleton as the 3rd person player actor.

Furthermore that actor has no animation named idle.

If you still want to use that actor as 1st person weapon you will have to check which animations it has (use the ActView tool for that) and specify them in the weapon.ini file (where it now says idle).
How to adjust the rotations and offsets of 1st person weapons is described in the manual in detail.

These should be enough hints for you to properly define a weapon. I won't write the correct definition here, as you won't learn anything if I'd do and you'll be stuck with the same problem again next time.

thanks quest. Its a good idea. I want to figure out the code myself. This is a good idea. ill read it again. Also i disabled 3rd person view which be support. thanks quest

[megatop]

since i disabled 3rd person view do i still need the 3rd person script?

[megatop]

hi I have a script like this for my weapon. do i need it and where do i save it. its supposed to go with my weapon.

Code: Select all

{

IDLE      [gun_idle]
SHOOT  [gun_shoot]

OFFSET_Y     [75]

FIRERATE      [0.5]
PROJECTILE  [bullet]
FIREBONE     [firebone]
DAMAGEATTRIBUTE  [health]


firetimer [0]

Spawn[ ()
{
Gravity(false); // we don't want the gravity to affect this pawn
SetNoCollision(); // Don't collide with anything

LowLevel("setup_lowlevel");   // go to low level
} ]

setup_lowlevel[ ()
{
self.ThinkTime = 0;

self.yaw_speed = 10000;  // make sure the pawn rotates fast enough
self.pitch_speed = 10000;

AnimateHold(IDLE);  // play the idle animation
self.think = "idle";  // start executing "idle" order
} ]


idle[ ()
{
self.ThinkTime = 0;  // execute this order every frame

if(self.animate_at_end)  // if animation has finished, play it again
{
     AnimateHold(IDLE);
}

PositionToPlayer(0,OFFSET_Y,0,false,false);  // move with the player

self.ideal_yaw = self.player_yaw;  // get the ideal rotation
self.ideal_pitch = self.camera_pitch;

ChangeYaw();    // rotate to match the rotation defined above
ChangePitch();

if(self.lbutton_pressed and (firetimer < self.time))  // if left mouse button is pressed and enough time has passed since the last shot
{
     firetimer = self.time + FIRERATE;  // set the delay to next shot
     FireProjectileBlind(PROJECTILE,FIREBONE,0,0,0,DAMAGEATTRIBUTE);  // shoot the projectile
     AnimateHold(SHOOT);  // play the shooting animation
}
} ]

}

since i disabled 3rd person view do i still need the 3rd person script?

Remove the definitions for the 3rd person weapon (the ones starting with player). Even better than disabling the 3rd person view via the control.ini file would be to force the viewpoint of this specific weapon to 1st person view by adding the forceviewto option to the weapon definition in the weapon.ini file (i.e. forceviewto = firstperson, see manual for details).

hi I have a script like this for my weapon. do i need it and where do i save it. its supposed to go with my weapon.

You only need a script for a weapon if you want to have a different behaviour than the built in weapons provide. A "scripted weapon" in fact would mean that you will be using a Pawn as weapon.

[megatop]

quest i disabled it from the control.ini so yeah. Which part do i read in the manual i was looking.

[megatop]

i disabled the 3rd person view from the control.ini and camera.ini. Now would this script work. Also i removed tje 3rd person from the weapon.ini. Anyways heres my code

How about looking at Page 81 of the ebook? It explains what you are trying to do step by step. Page 90 and 91 explain first person weapons also.

[QuestOfDreams]

You still have to

check which animations it has (use the ActView tool for that) and specify them in the weapon.ini file (where it now says idle).

[megatop]

how do I specify in the actor view. Also how did the c8 become a weapon with no motion and little skelation with animation.

[megatop]

i deleted the 3rd person view for my weapon in the weapon.ini and deleted 3rd person view in the control.ini and the camera.ini heres my new code. Also do I need the dropped weapon script. heres my code
