Changing nails speed

[Alex.mac]

hi, i'm new to the forum and a newbie in qc programming. i wanna know how to change the nails speed. i searched the web and found this topic right here, but didn't solve my problem. i can set the sv_maxvelocity cvar to a lower number and get the nails to fly slower, but they won't go any faster than the default speed even if i set the cvar to 100000. here is the code.

Code: Select all

   newmis.velocity = dir * 10000;
};

void() W_FireSuperSpikes =
{
   local vector   dir;
   local entity   old;
   
   sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/spike2.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
   self.attack_finished = time + 0.2;
   self.currentammo = self.ammo_nails = self.ammo_nails - 2;
   dir = aim (self, 10000);


what am i doing wrong?

[ceriux]

change the max velocity cvar.

[Alex.mac]

i already tried changing on autoexec.cfg and ingame too... there's nothing wrong with the code?

[ceriux]

maybe this?



void() W_FireSuperSpikes =
{
local vector dir;
local entity old;

sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/spike2.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
self.attack_finished = time + 0.2;
self.currentammo = self.ammo_nails = self.ammo_nails - 2;
dir = aim (self, 10000);

newmis.velocity = dir * 10000;
};

its hard for me to tell with out the code in front of me im still fairly new to coding and i havnt been able to code ne thing in like half a year now... but the only time i had issues with changing the speed of a projectile came back to max_velocity

[Alex.mac]

i put your code in there but it didn't work, thanks anyway.

btw, my autoexec.cfg is this

Code: Select all

sv_maxvelocity 10000
deathmatch 1
map e1m1

i've only modified this file (weapons.qc) in those lines i quoted before. if somebody wants the whole file i can upload it.

thank you

[ceriux]

post up all the chuncks and functions pertaining to your weapon and the projectile.

[Alex.mac]

i just found this on misc.qc and changed to 10000 too

Code: Select all

newmis.velocity = self.movedir * 10000;

that's all i've changed. i uploaded the the files (weapons.qc, misc.qc and autoexec.cfg) on this link http://www.mediafire.com/?zzuygjgzdyy.

i think that is all i have regarding the projectile and weapon, but if there's more files i can find to modify, please let me know

[ceriux]

i cannot download anything i live at a government school at the moment. use pastebin and post the links.

[Alex.mac]

weapons.qc
misc.qc

and this is autoexec.cfg

Code: Select all

sv_maxvelocity 10000
deathmatch 1
map e1m1

[ceriux]

and your modding the nail gun...? sorry i dont have the time to just look through everything... doing my school work and on the pc at the same time.

[Alex.mac]

yes, i've tried to mod the nailgun and the super nailgun.

[ceriux]

i see no issues with your code. try setting max_velocity to something like 50000 and see if it goes any faster. cause your doing 10000 x 10000 and your max velocity is only 10000 so it wont go any faster.

cause its dir (10000) x 10000 = a . anyways since your capped at 10000 it wont go any higher and your awnser is also being capped.

[Alex.mac]

doesn't solve, but thanks for your patience.

[ceriux]

sorry then man i could probably figure it out if i had a compiler and a game infront of me. but saddly its pretty impossible at the moment... for me to help.

You are remembering to put your compiled progs.dat into your .pak file, right?
