It wont compile!!! Also some other issues

[Karall]

Well it compiles but the progs.dat wont come up.... Its weird!
Also im having trouble with my code i think. But i need the progs file to test, halp!

edit: Errors are : "==" is not a type
and unknown value "s_explode1"

I dont know why explode is erroring. Its all in weapons.qc

It's time you learn about some important compiler.
See the number by the error? That's the LINE NUMBER
go to the line number in the file and observe where you messed things up

Read this message made my head hurt. Badly.

I could see why you say that xD I'm not good at all at QC...trying to learn tho >.>

Code: Select all

 void() W_FirePistol =
{
   local vector dir;

   sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/guncock.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);   

   self.punchangle_x = -2;
   
   self.currentammo = self.ammo_shells = self.ammo_shells - 1;
   dir = aim (self, 100000);
   FireBullets (50, dir, '0.01 0.01 0'); //This is the line to change
};

I cant find whats wrong with the code!

if you look at the dialog that your compiler put out about your error. it'll even tell you which line the errors on =)

[Karall]

Yea i know! I know what line its on, but i dont know what to change! Mainly becouse i dont know what "== is not a type" means

[ceriux]

copy the line of code that the error is on (just the line the compiler says) then paste it here.

[Karall]

Nevermind. I fixed it. As always when i code its a stupid little error that extremley easy to fix. Its just the matter of spotting it... Ile keep this thread if i get some more problems!

[Karall]

well yea, it compiles all and good. The game runs! But is it possible to give the weapon like the id number of 9? I bound impulse 9 to 9, also in changeweapon i set my pistol to self impulse 9. If there anything more i have to do? If not, how do i get my weapon? I tried give 9x but wont work. I also added the gun to cheat codes but i dunno what diffirence it makes.

Well the second link is the one i tried to follow, at least quite a bit. I checked out yours too. But now the wont help me

[ceriux]

well the first link shows you how to set up a new weapon, you dont have to replace whats already there. you can copy a function and make your own from it. the 2nd should be a fairly easy tutorial. make sure you read each step slowly.

[Karall]

Argh. I can really get the code working. In the second tutorial to get the weapon theres a peice of code so when you get 100 shells you get a pistol or something. And i didnt want that so i didnt put that peice in. It compiles well and good. The shotgun isnt a weapon so thats a success. Just one tiny thing, how do i get my pistol!

[ceriux]

well how did you add your pistol in? cause what that tutorial does i think is if you have the shotgun and 100 shells you press 2 again and you get the next weapon so if you dont have the shotgun.

if your trying to select the weapon by impulses look at how an impulse is called, make ur impulse command be if you have shells and you have the pistol (.float has_pistol) or something. then self.weapon == IT_PISTOL. i know its not the code for you to look at. but you should be able to do something like what i explained.
