Scripting Weapons

by Debra Scaminaci · in General Discussion · 03/15/2004 (5:39 pm) · 9 replies

Hey guys,

I'm relatively new to Torque and am still taking in a lot and learning a bunch from this great engine. But I've run into a pretty big problem. I'm trying to script in a new weapon, but can't really find any good tutorials on how to do it. I've looked here, and by searching the forum, but with not a lot of luck. Anyone know of any good weapon scripting tutorials? Help is greatly appreciated!

Not sure of any tutorials offhand, but the basic process is copying the crossbow.cs into "mygun.cs" and editing it to your pleasure. From the game.cs, add exec("mygun.cs"); where you see the exec("crossbow.cs");

Willbkool; That looks like a very good "all-around" tutorial.

Thanks for sharing.

I've tried those tutorials... And they work great...
But i can't get a gun to fire in my code... I've tried EVERYTHING, except the right thing... I can throw the gun, pick it up, it renders, blah, blah,... But it doesn't want to shoot...
it's as if my mousebutton isn't working... but when i switch to my crossbow... booom... it fires... So if anyone here gets it working... please help me out...
Thanx
James

James,
If you want to post your weapon script or send me the .cs file I'll take a look at it for you. I've made a lot of weapon scripts.

Just another question. Do you have ammo?

That could be a problem :)

Also watch out for :() definitions. I have run into wierd problems with Armor vs Player functions in the same script. Mainly I get some code from somewhere that is one or the other and it does not seem to work. Then when I change the class it automagically works. Could be due to class inheritance in the object.

Hope that helps,
Frank
