Modding Help About guns: (Solved)

• How to make my guns shoot in burst fire ?
• its possible to remove the muzzle flash? (I'm working on silenced guns).

I searched through the scripts, but i couldn't find a clue about how do i do these things.

 

I am assuming these are assault rifles (although I don't think it should matter).

Both of those can be accomplished through the weapon's ".activeitem" file.

Within the "primaryAbility" object, you should see a "fireType" property. This can either be set to "auto" or "burst".
If it's set to "burst" you will also need to add the "burstCount" and "burstTime" properties.
For example:

Code:

"primaryAbility":
{
    "scripts" : ["/items/active/weapons/ranged/gunfire.lua"],
    "class" : "GunFire",

    "fireTime" : 0.15,
    "baseDps" : 9.5,
    "energyUsage" : 28.5,
    "inaccuracy" : 0.02,

    "burstTime" : 0.075,
    "burstCount" : 3,
    "fireType" : "burst",

   ...

The muzzle flash has its own section within the "animationParts" object. Just set its value to an empty string to make the shot have no flash:

Code:

"animationParts":
{
    "butt" : "",
    "middle" : "customrifle.png",
    "barrel" : "",
    "muzzleFlash" : ""
}

 

Thanks man, worked well on both!

 

You're welcome.
Glad I could help.
