[R] Weapon Bink

Chronoteeth · Post by **Chronoteeth** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 15:23

A feature that I learned from soldat, though unfortinately I couldn't quite understand it. Either it was a weapons ability to gradually spread (Take a minigun, after continuous fire, the spread of the bullets slowly increase) or that hitscans were effected by gravity. My guess is choice A.

It's the effect per shot on the accuracy of a weapon. For example, every shot of the minigun makes it slightly less accurate until it's very innaccurate.

So this would end up being a more realistic handling of refire inaccuracy?

Exactly. This shoud be useable like maybe A_bink and then a set amount on how far to spread the attack?

I'd make an argument of A_FireBullets et al.

This is actually really easy to do by simply giving the player an item every time the weapon is fired, and then using a state jump based on the quantity of the item. Then have the ready state slowly take the item away. A similar effect is often used to make weapons overheat, etc. It is inefficient, but it's also much easier than coding an extra parameter for the bullet attack.

(Note: this code is not guaranteed to work, it is simply an example)

Code: Select all

     Ready:  
        CHGG BA 3 A_WeaponReady 
        CHGG B 0 A_takeinventory("Bink",1)
        Loop
     Fire: 
        CHGG A 0 A_GunFlash
        CHGG A 0 A_Jumpifinventory("Bink",1,4)
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(2,2,-1,6,0,1) 
        CHGG B 2 A_giveinventory("Bink",1)
        CHGF A 0 A_Refire
        GOTO Ready
        CHGG A 0 A_Jumpifinventory("Bink",2,4)
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(3,3,-1,6,0,1) 
        CHGG B 2 A_giveinventory("Bink",1)
        CHGF A 0 A_Refire
        GOTO Ready
        CHGG A 0 A_Jumpifinventory("Bink",3,4)
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(4,4,-1,6,0,1) 
        CHGG B 2 A_giveinventory("Bink",1)
        CHGF A 0 A_Refire
        GOTO Ready
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(5,5,-1,6,0,1) 
        CHGG B 2 A_giveinventory("Bink",1)
        CHGF A 0 A_Refire
        GOTO Ready

Yes, but that's a very difficult workaround and makes the code unnecessarily messy - just like how DoomRater did it with his Glock.

Not to mention that code is highly repetitive. You could just jump over each Bink and such.

Code: Select all

     Fire:
        CHGG A 0 A_GunFlash
        CHGG A 0 A_Jumpifinventory("Bink",1,2)
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(2,2,-1,6,0,1)
        GOTO Fire + 8
        CHGG A 0 A_Jumpifinventory("Bink",3,2)
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(3,3,-1,6,0,1)
        GOTO Fire + 8
        CHGG A 0 A_Jumpifinventory("Bink",8,2)
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(4,4,-1,6,0,1)
        GOTO Fire + 8
        CHGG A 2 A_FireBullets(5,5,-1,6,0,1)
        //Fire + 8
        CHGG B 2 A_giveinventory("Bink",1)
        CHGF A 0 A_Refire
        GOTO Ready

Of course, I changed the amount of accuracy a bunch... but the same idea applies.

It may use fewer lines, but DoomRater's example is actually a little more difficult to understand.

This is why I will never again make a reloading weapon in GZDoom.

At least until custom lines come out, right weasel?

Yes, this method requires more math on the creator's part.
