Automatic Weapon

Dyhego · Sep 25, 2020

Hello everyone!

could you help me create a way for the character to shoot with an automatic weapon? in the style of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs that the characters have automatic weapons and can walk around shooting as well. Would any script have to be used for this?

Bloodbane · Sep 26, 2020

Rapid fire shooting is easy with script. However, walk around while shooting might take extra work. Doable nonetheless

Dyhego · Sep 27, 2020

Well, I managed to make the character give automatic shots, but I don't know if this way is correct, because when I hold the button it doesn't release several shots and only shots in a row and it doesn't work as an automatic weapon. follows even scripts. (The programming scripts I ended up taking from another project, because I don't know how to program)

The problem is that the bullets don't run out ...

Looks like we'll have to do this one step at a time. First looping part.
For automatic shooting, you need script to loop animation if certain key is held, attack1 key in this case. I usually use this function:

Code:

void keyint(void Ani, int Frame, void Key, int Hflag)
{// Change current animation if proper key is pressed or released
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Dir = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
    void Health = getentityproperty(self,"health");    
    int iPIndex = getentityproperty(self,"playerindex"); //Get player index
    void iRKey;

      if (Key=="U"){ //Up Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveup"); // "Up"
      } else if (Key=="D"){ //Down Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "movedown"); // "Down"
      } else if (Key=="L"){ //Left Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft"); // "Left"
      } else if (Key=="R"){ //Right Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveright"); // "Right"
      } else if (Key=="F"){ //Forward Required?
        if (Dir == 0){ // Facing Left?
          iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft"); // "Left"
        } else { // Facing Right
          iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveright"); // "Right"
        }
      } else if (Key=="B"){ //Backward Required?
        if (Dir == 1){ // Facing Right?
          iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft"); // "Left"
        } else { // Facing Left
          iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveright"); // "Right"
        }
      } else if (Key=="J"){ //Jump Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "jump"); // "Jump"
      } else if (Key=="A"){ //Attack Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "attack"); // "Attack"
      } else if (Key=="A2"){ //Attack2 Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "attack2"); // "Attack2"
      } else if (Key=="S"){ //Special Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "special"); // "Special"
      } else if (Key=="A4"){ //Attack4 Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "attack4"); // "Attack4"
      }

      if (Hflag==1){ //Not holding the button case?
        iRKey = !iRKey; //Take the opposite condition
      }

      if (iRKey){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant(Ani), 2);
        changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", Frame);
      }
}

I don't know if sarawinter.c has this script somewhere in one of included scripts but if it doesn't, you'll have to copy it there.

Attack animation would be like this:

Code:

anim	attack
	delay	9
	bbox	11 8 43 72
	offset	30 77
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk1.gif
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	offset	28 76
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk2.gif
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	offset	28 69
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk3.gif
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	offset	28 76
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk4.gif
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	offset	28 69
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk5.gif #
	offset	30 77
	@cmd	keyint "ANI_ATTACK1" 1 "A" 0
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk1.gif

With that script, her ATTACK animation will be looped as long as attack1 key is held.

After you got this right, we can move to shooting limiting part

IT WORKS PERFECTLY! God Bless you!

Can we go on to make sure the bullets are spent when shooting?

Bloodbane · Sep 29, 2020

Glad you got that working ;D

Assuming you use MP as bullet, you need to spend MP when shooting. Then add another script to end shooting when MP is not enough.
You need these functions:

Code:

void mpcost(int Cost)
{// Spend some MP
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int MP = getentityproperty(self,"mp");

    changeentityproperty(self, "mp", MP-Cost); //Spend!
}

void aniLimit(void Ani, int Frame, int Limit)
{// Change current animation if MP falls below limit
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void MP = getentityproperty(self,"mp");    

    if (MP < Limit){
      changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant(Ani), 2);
      changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", Frame);
    }
}

Her ATTACK1 animation becomes this:

Code:

anim	attack
	delay	9
	bbox	11 8 43 72
	offset	30 77
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk1.gif
	offset	28 76
	@cmd	aniLimit "ANI_ATTACK1" 6 5
	@cmd	mpcost 5
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk2.gif
	offset	28 69
	@cmd	aniLimit "ANI_ATTACK1" 6 5
	@cmd	mpcost 5
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk3.gif
	offset	28 76
	@cmd	aniLimit "ANI_ATTACK1" 6 5
	@cmd	mpcost 5
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk4.gif
	offset	28 69
	@cmd	aniLimit "ANI_ATTACK1" 6 5
	@cmd	mpcost 5
	@cmd	shoot "bullet" 48 50 1
	sound	data/sounds/fuzilshoot.wav
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk5.gif #
	delay	5
	offset	30 77
	@cmd	aniLimit "ANI_ATTACK1" 6 5
	@cmd	keyint "ANI_ATTACK1" 1 "A" 0
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk1.gif
	frame	data/chars/sarawinter/m4_atk1.gif

She spends 5 MP per shoot. Just before each shot, there's an MP check. If MP is below 5 when checked, she immediately jumps to end of animation IOW ends shooting.

Dyhego · Sep 29, 2020

Then, the MP is consumed when shooting, but after the MP reaches zero, the character continues with the weapon and continues shooting.

Is it possible to let only ammunition be consumed instead of the MP?

Bloodbane · Sep 30, 2020

Sadly, weapon's ammo isn't acquirable by script :-[. That's why it's best to change the ammo to MP or script based ammo.
