but how do i go about making this? i know how to make a basic weapon and at all, but not something for freezing time

Well, you could make a weapon freeze time by creating a new TimeFreeze powerup that is activated upon it entering the player's inventory, and have your weapon give that item to the player in its fire state.

I can't watch your video at the moment though, so I have no idea if that's what you want.

I got it to work using powerup givers

Speaking of PowerupGiver, I've came up with this

Code: Select all

ACTOR timefreeze: PowerupGiver
{
	spawnid 656
	inventory.pickupMessage "You've managed to freeze the time. Congrats!"
	inventory.maxamount 0
	Powerup.Color InverseMap
	Powerup.Duration -20
	PowerUp.Type "TimeFreezer"
	+Inventory.AutoActivate
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		TLPP A -1
		Stop
	}
}

ACTOR BendTime: Weapon
{
		Weapon.SelectionOrder 120
		Weapon.AmmoGive 100
		Weapon.AmmoUse 1
		Weapon.AmmoType "Clip"
		Inventory.PickupMessage "Stop the Time!"
		Inventory.PickupSound none
		+Weapon.NoAlert
		Weapon.Bobstyle Smooth
		Weapon.Bobspeed 0.1
		Weapon.SlotNumber 3
		States
		{
		Spawn:
			TLPP A -1
			Stop
		Ready:
			TLPT A 1 A_WeaponReady
			loop
		Deselect:
			TLPT A 1 A_Lower
			loop
		Select:
			TLPT A 1 A_Raise
			loop
		Fire:
			TLPT A 3
			TLPT B 3 A_GiveInventory("timefreeze", 1)
			TLPT C 3
			TLPT D 3
			TLPT E 3
			Goto Ready
		}
}

There is actually a weapon in Russian Overkill that does stop time. Its in Yuri's arsenal and it is called the "Comrade". The time stop ability is its alternate fire. Maybe that can give you an idea how the time free effect is done.
