Babby's first ZScript Over/Under Shotgun

[Gollgagh]

My new year's resolution was to try some weapons for Doom to contribute to this community, so here's an over/under shotgun where the barrels can be fired independently (it replaces the SuperShotgun currently):

Credits - half of the sprites and sounds were stolen from Batandy, the other half of the sounds were stolen from TerminusEst, and I fabricobbled the rest from existing sprites.

The stock and break-action are the only (somewhat) original sprites in this.

Feels pretty dang nice to use and I like how each barrel is dedicated to both fire keys with the simultaneous firing sound packing some serious punch. Not much else to say, its simple and effective. Going to experiment with this a fair bit.

[DamnFineCoffee]

This feels really cool to use. I love the idea of using both fire keys for each barrel.

very pleasant to use a+ would gib again

One bug: the gun doesn't start out loaded, but if you IDFA for it the status bar counter will show as loaded when you first select it.

[Gollgagh]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm glad you like it. We'll see if I can come up with any other interesting weapon ideas to add to this as the year goes on.

One bug: the gun doesn't start out loaded, but if you IDFA for it the status bar counter will show as loaded when you first select it.

Yeahhh, that's because the secondary ammo isn't actually used for conditionals and IDFA gives maximum ammo. The actual local variable holding the barrel status always initializes at zero (or more accurately, you can't initialize a variable at declaration) and I couldn't figure out the best way to set the variable at spawn. I tried setting it at the Spawn label, but that had no discernible effect. ¯\_(⁰_ₒ)_/¯

Adding to the Select label

Code: Select all

		TNT1 A 0 {if(CountInv("ShellRound") == 2) invoker.barrelbool = 3;}

would partially fix the issue of the mismatch, but I would much rather have the gun actually start loaded even without cheats.

For stuff like this I normally set these custom variables using a BeginPlay override.

If you're using a custom player actor, you can override CheatGive to get the shotgun loaded using FindInventory.

(A hack to avoid using a custom player actor would be to create an ammo item that in its AttachToOwner() override finds the shotgun in the owner's inventory, sets it to loaded, then destroys itself.)

While a very belated post, I felt obligated to leave a post here at the very least. Someone had made an over/under skin for the side-by-side shotgun in Hideous Destructor a month or so ago, and that led me down a rabbit hole of coding an actual over/under as a weapon module. I ended up using some assets from this project, with your original credits + your name attached, and links back to this thread. Here's a link to the mod's github https://github.com/FDAapproved/altis-ov ... er-shotgun in the event you would want to check that out. It's very cherry-picked, but that's mostly a byproduct of weapons in HD being a lot less flashy than you can get elsewhere without extra work.

Duuude, awesome!

I'll definitely give it a spin.

[MrRumbleRoses]

is there a certain summon command thing for this gun or anything?

[Gollgagh]

I called it 'Gollgun' because I am very original, donut steele; so 'summon gollgun'.

Also, apparently weaponbob got broken some time in the past four years, so that's a thing.

well i will say that it is a nice gun to use. i've been playing around with it with the PSX Doom CE mod. even paired it up with a machine gun pistol replacement. got the PSX Doomguy mugshot and a player skin to boot as well
