Making a chainsaw, damage problems.

[Karall]

So basicly im making a chainsaw in quake. So i switched the axe model with my chainsaw, and the i edited the time that it takes for the attack to be done on the axe from 0.5 to 0.1. The sound replays really fast, but the chainsaw only does damage when i release the attack button. What is failing?

If you see the (if (self.weapon == IT_AXE)) on W_Attack(), you'll see that there's no W_FireAxe(). Call it just before self.attack_finished. It only fires when you release the button because W_FireAxe() is called on the third frame of the 4 player's axe attack animations. Remove all W_FireAxe() in player_axe3() to player_axed3() in player.qc.

Hope it helps.

I just placed the fireaxe function on every frame. Works great now. Thanks for the help man

I know im asking here all the freaking time. Ive finally realiced that i should stop being lazy. So this time i researched a bit. Anyway, i have another animation problem. Basicly i made an axe animation that has 6 frames. Quakes animation has 4 (correct me please). Ive tried adding more frames to stop the axe from glitching with the animation, but apparantley i need to define the frames first. Or something like that. How would i do this?

im not sure, but i believe thats the macros at the top.

You mean:
$frame axatt1 axatt2 axatt3 axatt4 axatt5 axatt6
That?

yup read through ur qc files and see how they're used.

also does your first person frame count match? im not sure if that matters but it might? i havnt messed around with any of it in a long time. i also prefer setting up animation with out the macros.
