Reloading in Vanilla Quake with Animations?

[thommoboy]

i have a reload code but how would i add animations to it?

[ceriux]

err.. im not to sure on this but maybe something like
if (self.reloading == 1 && self.weapon == x)
{
self.weaponframe = x;
if (time == time + 1)
self.weaponframes = self.weaponframe + 1;
};

prolly wrong... but it would be the first something i would try off the top of my head.

prolly throw in a check that the frame number doesn go over a certain number and if it does return;?

I made a nice system for my game that handles the weaponframes. It is built from 2 functions. First one is called whenever you want to update the frames (like at the start of reload). You can set starting frame, ensing frame, speed of animation, function to be called during or at the end of animation (useful for stuf like reload canceling, weapons that has animation before the actual fire). Second function is called every frame and updates the frames (usualy every 0.1 secpnds (or what ever quake time) but incase i have speeden
Or slowen the frame then at that time of course. It also calls the function i have assinged with the animation at given frame/end of the animation. Prety cool system
That doesnt require macro stuff or interfence
With player
Frames

And not hard to code at all

BTW: Do you have problems when picking up ammo or new weapons?
My reloading animations are stopping when i picking up ammo and i still dont know how i can fix this the easy way xD

thanks, i will try it, finally something i can use

My little mod will have pickupable items like original Quake (ammo, weapons etc..), and everytime i reload and pick up ammo some seconds later the animations will stop...
But i think your post will help me
