Weapon Script

[SpeedyB64]

Does anyone know how to make a script run when you fire the weapon. It will be used like a remote control type thing.

I don't know if you can do something when you "fire", but you can probably either use a gamemode actor effect that listens for the firing key, or a weapon -> invisible projectile -> invisible explosion -> script.

What I am doing is making remote mines, so there is no specific target. Is there a way to detect if the player fires a gun (Any gun) Then have the script check if you have the right weapon equipped?

 

For now I will use an item in the Aid section as a detonator.

You don't need a "target" for what i suggest. You can make the weapon-related script change a quest variable, and have the mines "listening" for the quest variable. The explosion method just needs a large enough explosion to catch at least one actor/object so the effect script happens, and better if the projectile is set to fall to the ground in front of the player (largely affected by gravity).

For the gamemode script, it could be an effect tied to the weapon via onequip scripting, that way it'll only be running when the weapon is equipped.

As far as i know, there's no way to "know" if a weapon has been fired.

All right. I have decided to use an inventory item instead since its a lot simpler and more foolproof. The problem i have now is that when i set off the mines if there is a mine in a container the game will CTD, but only if they where in the container from the start if I put one in a container it works fine.

They shouldnt be "listening" for the trigger unless they have been "set'

Yah I fixed it by making it so that you arm the mines that you have placed. They are extremely fun to use :biggrin: Just need to polish it up a bit.
