Grenade Charging

[wajdzik]

Hi,

I need to write lua script to random change of grenade charging. (beetwen 2 to 6 sec.) This type of script is not big problem, but i don't know what command use to change time of nade charging. Can anybody help me with this?

[wajdzik]

Ok, i found a clue - file grenade.weap and weapon.cfg

 

grenda.weap:

weaponDef
{
// This basically fills out weaponInfo_t
client {
 //standModel  ""		  // weapon pickup 'stand' (do we still use this?)
 //pickupModel  ""
 //pickupSound  "sound/misc/w_pkup.wav"

 weaponConfig  "models/weapons2/grenade/weapon.cfg"
 handsModel   "models/weapons2/grenade/v_grenade_hand.mdc"

 flashDlightColor 1 0.7 0.5
 flashSound   "sound/weapons/grenade/gren_throw.wav" // supports up to 4 flash sounds
 //flashEchoSound ""		  // supports up to 4 flash echo sounds
 //lastShotSound  ""		  // supports up to 4 last shot sounds

 //readySound  ""
 //firingSound  ""		 // no weapons seem to use this, basically it's a replacement hum for readysound, but then when firing
 //overheatSound  ""
 //reloadSound  ""
 //reloadFastSound ""		 // some weapons have fast reloads due to the skill system
 //spinupSound  ""		  // sound started when fire button goes down, and stepped on when the first fire event happens
 //spindownSound  ""		 // sound called if the above is running but player doesn't follow through and fire
 //switchSound  ""		 // allow overriding of weaponswitch sound

 //weaponIcon   "icons/iconw_grenade_1"
 weaponSelectedIcon "icons/iconw_grenade_1_select"

 missileModel  "models/ammo/grenade1.md3"
 //missileSound  ""
 missileTrailFunc "GrenadeTrail"	  // supports "GrenadeTrail", "RocketTrail", "PyroSmokeTrail" and "DynamiteTrail" (we REALLY want a particle system for this)
 //missileDlight  0
 //missileDlightColor 0 0 0	   // do we still use this?

 //ejectBrassFunc ""		 // supports "MachineGunEjectBrass" and "PanzerFaustEjectBrass"

 //modModel 1  ""

 firstPerson {
  model   "models/weapons2/grenade/v_grenade.md3"
  //flashModel  ""
  // weapon building
  // the parts are numbered because there are some hardcoded references for some weapons to certain parts
  weaponLink
  {
   part 0
   {
 tag  "tag_barrel"
 model "models/weapons2/grenade/v_grenade_barrel.mdc"
   }
  }
 }

 thirdPerson {
  model   "models/weapons2/grenade/ss_grenade.md3"
  //flashmodel  ""
 }
}
}

What's buggy in riflenade? I have never seen any bugs for riflenades.

just reporting what few guys said "wont always shot"

[Dookie]

never expirienced any bugs with rifle nade..

[Petbark]

If you don't have enough chrage in the engineer bar then it will not fire.

 

I think level 1 takes about 70% of the charge with level 4 taking just under 50% but i might be wrong on those numbers.

[hellreturn]

just reporting what few guys said "wont always shot"

 

Then I would suggest to ask those "few guys" to take demo or something so we can look into it and if it's a bug we will try to fix it in next release.

 

What Petbark said is also true.

Regarding the rifle grenade, maybe you mean this bug?

http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/tracker/issue-145-rifle-grenade-animation/

[wajdzik]

So, noone can help me?

[TheSilencerPL]

Maybe you could change g_engineerChargeTime cvar.

http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Mod_Server_Cvar#g_serverInfo

 

Dunno if it helps.

[wajdzik]

It's only change charging rilfe grenade, so its not what i'm looking for :/

[TheSilencerPL]

ah, sorry, didn't read carefully.

[TheSilencerPL]

I don't think it's possible, unless pm->ps->grenadeTimeLeft is accessible through the lua API

 

case WP_GRENADE_PINEAPPLE:
case WP_SMOKE_BOMB:
if(!delayedFire) {
if(PM_WeaponAmmoAvailable(pm->ps->weapon)) {
 if(pm->ps->weapon == WP_DYNAMITE) {
 pm->ps->grenadeTimeLeft = 50;
 } else {
 pm->ps->grenadeTimeLeft = 4000; // start at four seconds and count down

 

EDIT1:

it's hardcoded to be 4000, it's not a value set from above. We could create some server cvar for that, so you could change that.

[wajdzik]

Server cvar would be great. I think that is cvar like this in one of mods, but curently i don't remember in whichone. I'll try use your idea and create something what could change this without cvar, but i can start working with this after 15 july.

[gaoesa]

I don't think it is changeable in any mod.

[TheSilencerPL]

Yes, and after short discussion we don't think we would add separate cvar for that.
