Question: Making an underbarrel grenade launcher script

[undyne777]

Hello all,

 

I am looking to create a script that switches your weapon to use an underbarrel grenade attachment (essentially temporarily replace the weapon with a version that fires grenades). I have looked for guides/posts that detail this, but for some reason I can't find anything helpful.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this (or places where I could read up on how to do it?)

 

Thanks in advance!

well, FOSE has script functions which should be able to help...I'm sure I've seen something like this as a FOSE based mod.

aside from that, well, you might be able to do something with a change in ammo type.

just make its ammo-lists include 25mm grenades or somesuch. or possibly a variant on them that actually references the projectile it needs to use.

 

so yes, very easy assuming I've got this right, but you might end up with a gun that seems to be firing its grenades out of its gun-barrel. it'll look fine if you're not watching too closely though.

Here's a Rifle/Shotgun script I did for FO3, just playing around. You might start with something like this:

 

scn RHKShogunRifleScript 

Short iSetup 
Short ikey 
Short itoggle 
Float fhealth
short icurKey
float fTimer



BEGIN ONAdd Player

set fTimer to 2
set iSetup to 0

END

 
BEGIN Gamemode  

IF iSetup == 0
	if (fTimer < 0)			;timer prevents CTD
		IF fhealth == 0  
			Set fhealth to .95  
		EndIF  
		Set ikey to 35 ;   H - press H key to switch
		Set iSetup to 1 
	else
		set fTimer to ftimer - GetSecondsPassed
		return
	endif
EndIF  

IF (itoggle == 0)	     
	IF (icurKey && IsKeyPressed icurKey)	;Makes sure key is only registered once
		return
	Else
		set icurKey to 0
	Endif

	IF (IsKeyPressed ikey)
		Set itoggle to 1
		Set icurKey to ikey
	Endif
Endif

IF itoggle == 1
	Set itoggle to 0
	IF Player.getEquipped RHKWeapHuntingRifle == 1 
		Set fhealth to (Player.GetWeaponHealthPerc) / 100
		player.AddItemHealthPercent RHKWeapShotgunCombat 1 fhealth 1 
		player.equipitem  RHKWeapShotgunCombat 0 1 
		Player.removeitem  RHKWeapHuntingRifle 1 1 
	ElseIF player.getEquipped  RHKWeapShotgunCombat == 1 
		Set fhealth to (Player.GetWeaponHealthPerc) / 100
		player.AddItemHealthPercent  RHKWeapHuntingRifle 1 fhealth 1 
		player.equipitem  RHKWeapHuntingRifle 0 1 
		player.RemoveItem   RHKWeapShotgunCombat 1 1
	Else
		if (Player.GetItemCount RHKWeapShotgunCombat)
			Player.AddItemHealthPercent RHKWeapHuntingRifle 1 fhealth 1
			Player.RemoveItem RHKWeapShotgunCombat 1 1
		endif
		Player.EquipItem RHKWeapHuntingRifle 0 1				
	EndIF 
ENDIF 


END

 

Edit:

Both weapons have this script on it.

Thanks Ruadhan2300 and rickerhk!

 

I'll play around with this/try to figure it out a little bit. I think the hotswap is probably the best bet.

 

I also found an interesting option that Earache explained on another forum that I might look into.

 

Thanks again!
