A mod LoRE and I have been working on is nearing completion (well at least for a public beta), just have to add a few weapons, which are going to be basically a copy and paste job since code wise are very similar to others.

Problem we are having is our Chaingun, we want it to be somewhat like Quake 2's, basically like yours. (Why I posted it here).
I did try asking the Weapons Factory team and Q3F team but didn't get any replies back.
I'm not truely asking for the code, but rather if someone could provide me with the information to do it?
I've just been trying to get the spinup/down to work (doesn't matter if it fires while spinning down, but a plus if it does).

For logic I have this:
if holding fire and chaingun out
if weaponstate is ready
if not weapon spindown
weapon state is spinup
addTime = 3000 (for testing purposes)
return

if addTime is <= 0
if holding fire and weapon is chaingun
weapon state is firing
else if holding fire
weapon fire

if not holding fire and weapon is chaingun
weaponstate is spindown
addTime = 3000 (again testing)
else
weaponstate is ready

===========================================
Once spinup/down is working logic would change:
===========================================
if holding fire and chaingun out
if weaponstate is ready
if not weapon spindown
weapon state is spinup
addTime = 3000 (for testing purposes)
return

if addTime is <= 0
if holding fire and weapon is chaingun
weapon state is firing
every bullet increases rate of fire by "x" (will have to playtest to get the #)
if rate of fire is > 25 (will have to playtest to see if 25 is good)
make rate of fire 25
else if holding fire
weapon fire

if not holding fire and weapon is chaingun
weaponstate is spindown
spindowntime = 20 * bullets fired;
if spindowntime < 100
spindowntime = 100
if spindowntime > 3000 (3 seconds)
spindowntime = 3000
else
weaponstate is ready


Most common result is:
all weapons would fire non stop, and when I attacked (held fire), the chaingun would play the firing animation but not attack, but on mouse release it would fire 1 bullet.

I've since ditched what I had because every tweak I made give other interesting results.
So if someone could point me in the right direction on how to do this or even provide me with an example that would be apprecaited.

Thanks for reading.

Figured that would of been brought up. Who removed the files without any problems?
Hence why I am asking this time around and why I asked to get "pointed in the right direction", meaning not to give me code but rather help me correct my "logic" so when I try to code it, it somewhat works.

any chance on the link for this mod?, as i'd like to give it a go

I've moved this thread to laced neptune, where it belongs
