Modding Help Help with gun mod

I thiink thats used in the water sword. (With the bubbles)

 

This is used by the watersword:

Code:

  "firePosition" : [15.5, 4.5],

Btw, what the watersword does is something else, I think it randomizes the projectiles from within the "swoosh" projectile.

Code:

{
  "projectileName" : "waterswoosh",
  "frames" : "waterswoosh.png",
  "animationCycle" : 0.2,
  "level" : 1,
  "frameNumber" : 3,
  "speed" : 0,
  "orientationLocked" : true,
  "damagePoly" : [ [-40, 24.5], [3.5, 24.5], [15.5, 21.5], [28.5, 15.5], [36.5, 7.5], [40.5, -1.5], [40.5, -12.5], [32.5, -24.5], [-12, -24.5] ],
  "animationLoops" : false,
  "piercing" : true,
  "flippable" : true,
  "damageKind" : "slash",
  "effectSources" : [ "sparkles" ],


  "actionOnReap" : [

    {
      "action" : "projectile",
      "type" : "bubbles",
      "fuzzAngle" : 10,
      "inheritDamageFactor" : 0.2,
      "angleAdjust" : 35
    },
    {
      "action" : "projectile",
      "type" : "bubbles",
      "fuzzAngle" : 10,
      "inheritDamageFactor" : 0.2,
      "angleAdjust" : -35
    },
    {
      "action" : "projectile",
      "type" : "bubbles",
      "fuzzAngle" : 10,
      "inheritDamageFactor" : 0.2,
      "angleAdjust" : 1
    },
    {
      "action" : "projectile",
      "type" : "bubbles",
      "fuzzAngle" : 10,
      "inheritDamageFactor" : 0.2,
      "angleAdjust" : -18
    },
    {
      "action" : "projectile",
      "type" : "bubbles",
      "fuzzAngle" : 10,
      "inheritDamageFactor" : 0.2,
      "angleAdjust" : 18
    }

  ]
}

Perhaps this will give you ideas, but you'll need a custom projectile and you need to find a setting to change its spawning location

 

Ill just use acurracy --" Its too hard for me XP

 

Check these out btw

Like that?? "firePosition" : [rand(12),rand(3)],

 

ehhhhh and what is this for? I understand that there are the variable types for each "*" , but i feel like i missed something.

 

Nope, its generic.

 

First one shows all variables for projectiles, second one shows all variables for guns, helpful when modding.

The only way your minigun can be made atm I think is by faking it with a particle effect and using invisible bullets, but it wouldn't look as cool and might even look weird at times.

 

How about this:

Code:

Math.floor(Math.random(5)+1)

With the 5 being any number you want, so your code would be:

Code:

"fireposition" : Math.floor(Math.random(5)+1),

 

Im totally unexperienced . Cant make particles . Ill just use accuracy and small bullets.

 

lets try

 

And what should i do with accuracy. Should i put it in the gun or in the proj

 

nope, its green .

 

accuracy is for the gun ;P

Then there's no way to do it yet as my guess.

 

accuracy doesnt work

or there are minimal changes

 

Damn, it's only supported by random guns... How awkward.

You can do something like with the watersword, projectiles that shoot in different directions, or you can try to use

Code:

"spread" : 3

with a high fire rate. It will shoot multiple bullets at the same time, but they will be randomly angled. I think it will work well for a minigun.

 

yeppp ill try that out. An other idea: I could make a random gun. The shields are random too, so why shouldnt it work with guns?

 

Might be tough to test it, but you can try that yea

 

key i "maybe" will

 

Looks awesome. Ill send you the file so you can look at it .
