6 round burst fire

[ooppee]

Having some issues with this and I know it's so simple.
Been trying to make a weapon that fires in a 6 round burst. I get the 6 round burst just fine and making it not fire if you have under 6 shots.
However what I am wanting is for it to fire in a burst regardless of the ammo it has. So if it has 4 shots left - fires 4 shots and stops.
That's the issue I have. Making it fire 6 shots with a single push of fire - but every shot of the burst subtracts one ammo. I presently only made it drop 6.
Using Nailgun ammo. Standard Nailgun would be single fire, Super would be the 6 round burst.

have it call the fire function 6 times instead of once?

You keed to add somekind of if (ammo) ammo = ammo - 1; where it calls the fire function (replace ammo eith the ammo float you use)

Got it to fire 6 shots at once - but it's firing all 6 at once like a shotgun - instead of actually firing in a burst.

Hello OoPpEe,

its good to see you back active.

I would edit W_Attack () which is called once inside W_WeaponFrame ().
Add a loop like frag.machine suggests into it to call your final "W_Fireyournewweapon ()" 6 times.
This way you will have your 6 bullets shoot via one mouse click, but not all at once. Like you wanted.
Adjust your "self.attack_finished" if necessary.

Maybe this can be helpful somehow.

Best wishes for you project OoPpEe.

Actually, the quick and easy solution is to look at the nailgun frame animation code. Just remove the stuff having to do with self.button0 and replace it with .ammo checks to make it exit the animation loop if you run out of ammo / exit if 6 shots have been fired.

And before anybody asks, no I still don't have any time to do that tutorial series I was planning. (...let alone attempting to do that custom engine for Hellsmash I've been needing, or anything else for that matter. )

Now it should be possible to make your 6-burst code.

By the way:
It has been a long time since I played Daikatana.
But i remember that the futuristic shotgun in Daikatana has exactly the same function:
Push your mouse button once and fire several shots in a row.
That weapon was cool to use and it had a fantastic sound.

Maybe the Daikatana source code is available ?
Then you could just copy it

Hello,

I am sorry for bumping this, but I just found a mod that does it with 4 rounds
and ontop of that this mod adds additional things to many weapons (depending on how you put the mouse button).
You can also download the source.

The guy is called moatdd. He made this around 3 years ago.
If this was discussed earlier, I am sorry for bumping and repetitiveness.

Here are his explanation clips:

Sorry if this is old news for you.
I found the mod ideas quite interesting and wanted to mention it.
