I made a axe and want to difine the weapon type in the weapon spec file.

I looked through the manual.
I looked through the FPSC Hints and Tips.
I looked throught the forum.

I can find no list of weapon type numbers.

Can someone please tell me precisely where they are?

Also I animated the axe and cant get the animation to work.

Here is the animation set from the .x file:

AnimationSet x3dc_0 {
 
 
    Animation Group_7 {
        {Group_7}
        AnimationOptions { 1; 0; }
        AnimationKey {
            2;
            1;
            0; 3; 5.00E+00, 0.00E+00, 5.00E+00;;;
        }
        AnimationKey {
            0;
            1;
            0; 4; 1.00E+00, 0.00E+00, 0.00E+00, 0.00E+00;;;
        }
    }
 
    Animation Group_8 {
        {Group_8}
        AnimationOptions { 1; 0; }
        AnimationKey {
            2;

First of all, why would you want to define the weapon type? where did you get the idea that you could do that? And second, i dont think the animation set in the .x file will do anything to help us work out the problem sorry. I think you may need to have the rest of the animations too, or at least type the animation set names down in the gunspec

What you see is what there is. there is only one animation. It is in the gunspec. That is what I posted in the code boxes. The weapon type is defined in the gunspec. Anyone that looks at what I posted can see what I mean. Also dont take my word for it check your own ginspec files.

Quote: "First of all, why would you want to define the weapon type?"

To tell the engine that it is a melee, projectile or other kind of weapon.

Weapon type as entered in the spec file:

Quote: "
weapontype = 1
"

Quote: "

"

Over the past 2 yrs I have learn little things about FPSC that are not in the manual. Ask around about this and you will see what I mean. I just cant remember the number codes fo the different types of weapons. I think there only 3 but I cant remember for sure.

Quote: "

"

the name of the one and only animation that the weapon has is in the spec file it is set up such:

Quote: "
;keyframe ratio = 1
fire = 0,2
"

Quote: "

"

Looking at the animation set in the .x file will help know how many frames the animation has. If you know what to look for.

Animation as entered into an .x file:

i've seen it in the gun visuals now, I dont know why thats there. I would expect it to be in ;Gun Settings.

From scanning all the weapons in the stock gun folder, my assumption is that:

There is only a small pattern of your theory in my investigation, so my theory is that the different weapontypes are equal to different visual effects, though i would like someone to prove me wrong on this becuase it does seem slightly confusing at the moment.

I'm saying that the weapontype may have something to do with and alteration in the weapons shader properties maybe? or something else, im really not sure

I have no clue what you mean and am still in need of an answer to my question. If there is an answer in what you have said, I am sorry but, I dont see it. Thanks for the the effort. Is there anyone else that would like to offer some information?

Weapon type only specifies how the VWEAP model is held by an NPC. Be it held in the pistol, rifle, shotgun/smg, shoulder launcher or heavy weapon poses. There are currently no melee weapon pose(s) or animations associated with melee in the stock characters.

The animation info you highlighted from the gunspec file pertains only to the HUD model and hooking up the animations shouild be self-explanitory.

Currently, for best results with a player-held melee weapon, you need to add a line to specify range with a value of 50-60. You will also need to modify bulletholes.dds or download something like my EAIscorchMOD so that your melee weapon does not leave unsightly bullet holes.

Hope this helps.

Sure cleared it up for me.

Since this has been cleared up, could a mod please lock this thread?

Thanks.
