Firing Animations help

[sniperz227]

Hi i've been searching for animation tutorials and i couldnt find one for firing. Basically what i wanna do is that when my gun shoots i want it to play my animation of the gun

[Nahuel]

the animations of the weapons are located in player.qc
basically you need to specific the frames of the gun like "weaponframe"

Look this code in the player.qc

Code: Select all

void()   player_shot1 =   [$shotatt1, player_shot2   ] {self.weaponframe=1;
self.effects = self.effects | EF_MUZZLEFLASH;};
void()   player_shot2 =   [$shotatt2, player_shot3   ] {self.weaponframe=2;};
void()   player_shot3 =   [$shotatt3, player_shot4   ] {self.weaponframe=3;};
void()   player_shot4 =   [$shotatt4, player_shot5   ] {self.weaponframe=4;};
void()   player_shot5 =   [$shotatt5, player_shot6   ] {self.weaponframe=5;};
void()   player_shot6 =   [$shotatt6, player_run   ] {self.weaponframe=6;};


I do not know why these functions are in player.qc
But there are the animations for the weapons!!!!!!!!!

I do not know why these functions are in player.qc

frame macros


and now you know why!

W_Attack() in weapons.qc call these. like

player_shot1();

makes the quakeguy flash dance

oh so if i was my m4a1 firing had 24 frames in total how would i right that ? would i make the weaponframe =24? for player_shot1?

[EDIT]
Sorry, since you can see my English is very bad.the answer is NO! but you can see the answer in my following answer!

ok so my code would be

void() player_shot1 = [$shotatt1, player_shot2 ] {self.weaponframe=24;
self.nextthink = time + 0.01;

thats all ?

[Nahuel]

for example!

void() player_shot1 = [$shotatt1, player_shot2 ] {self.weaponframe=1;
self.nextthink = time + 0.01;
};
void() player_shot2 = [$shotatt1, player_shot3 ] {self.weaponframe=3;
self.nextthink = time + 0.01;
};
void() player_shot3 = [$shotatt1, player_shot4 ] {self.weaponframe=4;
self.nextthink = time + 0.01;
};

....
here you must write all the remaining animations



void() player_shot24 = [$shotatt6, player_run ] {self.weaponframe=24;
self.nextthink = time + 0.01;
};

with regard to the (yellow) frame macro,I believe that if the player.mdl has 6 frames for the shot and you have 24 for the weapon you should use 1 (frame of player) *4 (frame of weapon)
for example
from
player_shot1 to player_shot4
shotatt1
and from
player_shot5 to player_shot9
shotatt2

check the time of nextthink!!
