A boy and his shotgun

[orxalot22]

I did try changing the weapon pickups to a bunch of shells last night, dont remember why i removed it but i can try adding it back in.
And i could have some sort of upgrade for the slingshot! i really like the bb gun idea.

and there's two ways you could go with the BB gun, you could make it a classic red rider. Or make it a pump-operated BB gun,secondary fire could pump it up, with each pump the BB would fly faster and hit harder.

[orxalot22]

ooh yeah. how do i do that?
cause ive got no idea how.
and sprites for the bb gun would kick ass, if anyone has lever action sprites or whatnot

No sprites come to mind but the pump action BB gun would be fairly simple, each time you'd hit altfire, it'd play out a pump animation, and it'd give you an invisible inventory item like "BBpump" and depending on how many the player has, when you click fire, it jumps to a different firing state that shoots a different projectile.

[orxalot22]

ah alrights then
it may take me till tomorrow but im gonna do that!

[orxalot22]

okay it might not happen actually.
i cannot get it to work.

Okay make the BBpump into an ammo item, and have the pump animation give you one BBpump every time you altfire.

Then in the actual firing block of code, just add a TNT1 A 0 a_jumpifinventory ("BBpump", 1, "BBshot1") then do that a few more times depending on how many pumps you want the player to go

[orxalot22]

so will BBSHOT1 be a seperate state?

[Combine_Kegan]

so will BBSHOT1 be a seperate state?

Yep, it'd be the same animation wise as your standard fire state, EXCEPT it fires a new projectile, and you'd do this for how many states you want, pretty simple actually.

[orxalot22]

Im not really sure what im doing wrong but if you could point it out for me that'd be awesome. itll do the click clicks and all that but it wont change the shot

Hm. Try renaming the fire states something different, like BBFire1, 2, etc

Oh! And remove the quotes from the custom states, just have them be BBFire1: BBFire2: etc

[orxalot22]

i get it now
the states and the shots had the exact same names
derrrppp

but
its still not workin..

[Combine_Kegan]

I think the quotes were causing interference too. Make sure to remove those as well, looking forward to trying this out, the BB Gun sounds like it's going to be a fun addition to the DoomKid's arsenal.

Or DoomLad if you prefer, also the BB Gun will be infinite ammo, requiring only pumps right?

[orxalot22]

yeah only pumps are required.

[Combine_Kegan]

Are you using the vanilla shotgun sprite for this? Because funnily enough I think that sprite IS an edit of a BB Gun.
