WEAP A 2 offset (random(10, 14), random(32,35))

[StrikerMan780]

The Title is basically an example of what I have in mind. Being able to Randomize offsets for weapon firing states. Right now, it crashes out saying "Bad Numeric Constant: Random". This be useful for mod authors to be able to make Weapons Shake around while firing, Doom64 Chaingun-Style.

The offsets are static values and can't be randomized.

That's a shame because there's too many weapon mods with guns that take up like 50 frames just to make the gun look like it's moving across the HUD, wasting space. Doesn't Hexen have moving frames for the hammer and such? I could have sworn it did.

[Graf Zahl]

Yes, but no random offsets.

[Cutmanmike]

Oh.


... Hang on does that mean "offset" actually works (or could work)?

[Gez]

The DECORATE code for [wiki=Classes:FWeapHammer]the hammer of retribution[/wiki] is available in the wiki, you know...

[Cutmanmike]

Oh sweet... when was offset added? I always miss these juicy features. *reads changelog again*

[Ichor]

As for random offsets, you could make a bunch of frames with different offsets, then it could jump to a random frame.

Oh sweet... when was offset added?

Somewhere around the end of 2004, although it took Randy 1.5 years to get 2.1.0 out.

[Cutmanmike]

Hmm, does it just work for weapons or anything? If it does I could have REALLY used this like... yesterday

[Graf Zahl]

Yes, it's only for weapons.
