Each weapon has their own "entity" script.
General Jackson's script goes as follows:
;Artificial Intelligence Script
;Header
desc = Weapon Pickup
;Triggers:
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\use.dds,hudname=coltprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=coltprompt,state=12
:state=12,plrdistfurther=40:hudunshow=coltprompt,state=12,state=10
:state=12,scancodekeypressed=33:hudunshow=coltprompt,playertake,coloff,rundecal=-1,plrsound=audiobankitemspickupweapon.wav,state=14
;End of Script
Now, to clean things up so it'll be easy to explain.
:state=0:hudreset
:state=0:hudx=50,hudy=50
:state=0:hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\use.dds
:state=0:hudname=weaponA,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=weaponA,state=12
:state=12,plrdistfurther=40:hudunshow=weaponA,state=10
:state=12,scancodekeypressed=33:state=14
:state=14:hudunshow=coltprompt,playertake
:state=14:destroy
What you'll need to do is make a unique hudimage for each weapon
:state=0:hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\use.dds
this line specifies the hud image that is used for any hud. FPSC supports Targa, BMP, and PNG formats as well as DDS.
If you want a unique image for any weapon, you'll need to assign separate scripts for every weapon you use... each, of which, will have their own unique hud image.
:state=0:hudx=50,hudy=50
This specifies WHERE the hudimage pops up, in this case, it says
50% width of screen and 50% height of screen.
:state=0:hudname=weaponA,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
This creates a new hud image under the name weaponA. I am uncertain if hudimages are global or not, so you might wish to change "weaponA" to the name of your weapon
:state=10,plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=weaponA,state=12
:state=12,plrdistfurther=40:hudunshow=weaponA,state=10
This will show the image if the player is close to the weapon, regardless or not if the player is actually targeting the weapon. It will hide it if the player is too far away.
Change weaponA to the name of your new hud.
Thats really all you need to know, I think.
Its not who you are or what you've done... its WHY you did it and how far you are willing to go.
If you fear speaking for yourself, make use the words of others while discovering your own voice.
