[SOLVED] Weapon with charging action (trouble in the Decorate lump)

[Kotometal041]

Hello people.

i'm trying to make a weapon that you need to charge to fire,
this is my plan in this pseudo-decorate:

Code: Select all

States
   {
   Fire:
      // Weapon loading sequence
      // if the fire button is not pressed, it passes to a specific ending state 
      Goto Ready
   Hold:
      // the weapon is ready to fire and launches a custom missile when it's not pressed
      Goto Ready
   Ending State:
      // normal weapon end sequence
      Goto Ready
   }

Specifically i'm trying to make a weapon that replaces the BFG, but with a charging action. The weapon has a screen that shows a load bar, if it's full, the missile launches.
But if it isn't, the bar goes back to the original state (like this)
[>>>>>>>_____]
(fire button released)
[<<<<<<______]

Actually have this

Code: Select all

	States
	{
	Ready:
		XXXX A 1 A_WeaponReady
		Loop
	Deselect:
		XXXX A 1 A_Lower
		Loop
	Select:
		TNT1 A 0 A_TakeInventory("Abort",999)
		XXXX A 1 A_Raise
		Loop
	Fire:
		TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("Abort",1,11)
		NULL A 0 A_GiveInventory("Abort",1)
		YYYY A 4
		YYYY B 4 A_JumpIfInventory("Abort",11,"D1")
		YYYY C 4 A_JumpIfInventory("Abort",10,"D2")
		YYYY D 4 A_JumpIfInventory("Abort",9,"D3")
		...
		YYYY N 4 A_JumpIfInventory("Abort",X,"Dn")
//		TNT1 A 0 A_ReFire
		TNT1 A 0 A_TakeInventory("Abort",999)
		ZZZZ ABCDEFGHIJKL 4
		Goto Ready
	Hold:
		LLLL AB 2
		LLLL B 2 A_Refire
		LLLL CDCDCDCDCD 2
		XXXX A 1 A_FireCustomMissile("Missile",0,20,12,5)
		XXXX BCD 1
		XXXX EDCBA 2
		EEEE ABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABAB 4
		ZZZZ ABCD...N 4
		Goto Ready
	D1:
		TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("Abort",11)
		ZZZZ A 4
		TNT1 A 0 A_TakeInventory("Abort",999)
		Goto Ready
	D2:
		TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("Abort",10)
		ZZZZ AB 4
		TNT1 A 0 A_TakeInventory("Abort",999)
		Goto Ready
	D3:
		TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("Abort",9)
		ZZZZ ABC 4
		TNT1 A 0 A_TakeInventory("Abort",999)
		Goto Ready		
	Dn:
		TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("Abort",X)
		ZZZZ ABC...N 4
		TNT1 A 0 A_TakeInventory("Abort",999)
		Goto Ready

i've tried to implement this from the Realm667's Hand grenade, but didn't work.

Can i have the WAD?

OK, let me create a PWAD with the weapon itself (cause i don't want to ruin the surprise of my project) and it will be uploaded on monday by time reasons.

Your mod seems awesome!

Thank you, i'll advice you when it's ready. In the meantime, here's the WAD. http://www.4shared.com/file/o3tRB4Pbce/ ... eapon.html

the weapon hasn't sound effects, because i want to validate this first, the graphics are different from the final version.

I will try to help you as soon as possible... I've got so much to do these weeks.

[Kotometal041]

Thanks, no problem about time. Reply this thread or send me a PM when it's ready.

Still working on it, haven't got it working yet :S

[Kotometal041]

OK, no problem.

How's it going?

I solved this problem, digging in the multi projectile weapon's DECORATE in Weapons resource wad. Here´s the result.

Glad to hear you came up with a solution. Sorry for not getting back to you about my progress...
After some amount of time I totally forgot about your weapon, and haven't thought about it since.
