"double wheel", lmao. I've never heard it called that b4.


I think what you're after is "Dual-Wield" which is derived from "Dual", meaning "Two", and "Wield" meaninging "To Hold" (Usually as a weapon)

Dual-Wielding in FPSC has only been achieved using Ply's Mod, and it's very simple and easy to use using this Mod.

Simply go to the FPSC Chat board and look for the "Ply's Mod V1.07 Official Thread" and the download link will be in the very first post. You may also want to download the "AirMod Manual" which is also linked to in the first post. (This is because Ply's Mod now has AirMod V0.6 merged into it, so you also get all of the features from AirMod!) And to give you an idea of what's possible using the Mod, there are many videos to watch! OH BOY!


Though, be warned, BEFORE installing the Mod or even downloading it, I urge you to DOWNGRADE to FPSC V1.07 or V1.09 (I recommend V1.09, simply for the Editor which has the TGC Store included in it ). Once you have V1.09 of FPSC up and running properly, THEN you should download the Mod and BEFORE installing, READ THE README FILE THAT COMES WITH IT!!! It will tell you exactly how to install the Mod (Which is very painless) and will ALSO be your source of information on how to USE the Mod. Please note that the latest version is the "Beta" version, which is (to date) the most stable version.

Also, to fully benefit from this Mod, I suggest that you learn how to script as using this Mod alongside it's scripting additions will yield MUCH MORE possibilities! If you are new to scripting then I suggest when you feel that you want to learn, to look into the Official Community Guide for some starter scripting tutorials and examples. However, nothing in that guide reflects any scripts that can be made using Ply's Mod. Many of them can be made more efficiently with the Mod.


Hope that answered your question and got you on the track to getting what you needed.

Ply's mod is great mod, but that dual-wield is not very good, because player will reload his weapon whit one hand, and that is impossible. Player should reload both weapons at same time... First put other weapon to holster, reload other, put to holster, take other weapon, and reload it, and then take both weapons.

Is there any way that you will edit it??

And can i put dual-wield off if i use your mod?

or you can just let the player pick upp an mp5 and a dual mp5 and just pretend he is shifting from 1 mp5 - 2 mp5 easy way if youre not intrested in scripting......

Beacause massa is the master!

@Jesper:

Thanks! ... I think.

Given a bit of scripting, I'm pretty positive that you could get the player to reload one hand at a time. The only thing you would need is the proper animations to pull it off. Everything else is provided for you in Ply's Mod, some assembly is just required.


@Everyone:

Before we reenact the same scenario from a long time go in the Ply's Mod thread... If you have hands on your weapons: It is suggested that you ALSO have animations for those weapons that use a single hand for using the gun at all times, then you need to specify those animation frames in the gunspec under their appropriate dual-wield animation options. I will not respond to any "My guy has 3 hands when I'm dual-wielding!" emails or posts. You have the ability to fix it and it's not my problem to do it for you. If you think there is a way to make EVERY WEAPON THAT ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY MAKE compatible with dual-wielding so that it will not have hands and the gun will automatically be re-animated FOR YOU without having to do anything, you are gravely mistaken. An animation must be made for any kind of action done in a game (Save for physics driven actions like ragdoll) and this is no exception.


*phew!*

Okay, with that said. You are not going to find a dual-wielding SYSTEM any other way. There are indeed weapons that give the illusion of dual-wielding but they have a problem.... The player is forced to fire BOTH weapons at the same time. Using Ply's Mod, you can fire both individually and you can mix and match weapons to dual-wield with. You can also specify which weapons CAN be dual-wielded and (where necessary) if the weapon can be dual-wielded without needing to pick up two of that weapon.

The system is great, you just need to learn how to use it, just like every other piece of software out there.


(P.S. Thank you, whoever changed the title of the thread. It makes much more sense now and will probably help searchers in the future. )
