How to Change Chainguns name/make it fire faster?

[DoomBoy1999]

I'm admittedly a moron and and easily frustrated. I need to change the chainguns name to "Machine Gun" but I've had no success. I've also tried making it fire faster with even less success. Help?

ACTOR MachineGun : Chaingun replaces Chaingun 700
{
Inventory.PickupMessage "$GOTCHAINGUN" // "You got the Machine Gun"
Obituary "$OB_MPCHAINGUN" // "%o was mowed down by %k's machine gun."
States
{
Fire:
CHGG AB 2 A_FireCGun
CHGG B 0 A_ReFire
Goto Ready
}
}

This code should be working; what you'll need to do is give it a weapon slot number (Weapon.SlotNumber) so the player can select it. Also, the pickup and obituary messages are still referencing the strings in the Language lump (all you've changed are the comment lines, represented by //, which the game does not actually read). You can fairly safely change the actual string references to the messages you want, for example:

Code: Select all

Obituary "%o feasted upon %k's lead banquet."

ACTOR MachineGun : Chaingun 700
{
Weapon.SlotNumber 4
Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the Machine Gun"
Obituary "%o was mowed down by %k's machine gun."
States
{
Fire:
CHGG AB 2 A_FireCGun
CHGG B 2 A_ReFire
}
}

Still no changes

ACTOR MachineGun : Chaingun 700
{
Weapon.SlotNumber 4
Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the Machine Gun"
Obituary "%o was mowed down by %k's machine gun."
States
{
Fire:
CHGG AB 2 A_FireCGun
CHGG B 2 A_ReFire
}
}

Still no changes

Two things:
1: you didn't replace the chaingun; in order to replace it, you need to change the editor number (700) to "replaces ChainGun" (if ur trying to make a new weapon, then this new machinegun appears after the origional in the weapon order)
2: this is a slight error, you cannot stop firing, because you didn't make the state end correctly

Here's the code, but fixed:
ACTOR MachineGun : Chaingun replaces Chaingun
{
Weapon.SlotNumber 4
Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the Machine Gun"
Obituary "%o was mowed down by %k's machine gun."
States
{
Fire:
CHGG AB 2 A_FireCGun
CHGG AB 2 A_ReFire
CHGG AB 1
goto ready
}
}

what source port are u using, and what iwad and what other addons?

Because what this error is saying is that THERES NO CHAINGUN!
But it's also inheriting from the chaingun so

Also you should have the chaingun make decals, so heres some new code

Code: Select all

ACTOR MachineGun : Chaingun replaces Chaingun
{
   Weapon.SlotNumber 4
   Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the Machine Gun"
   Obituary "%o was mowed down by %k's machine gun."
   Decal BulletChip
   Tag "MachineGun"
   States
   {
   Fire:
     CHGG AB 2 A_FireCGun
     CHGG AB 2 A_ReFire
     CHGG AB 1
     goto ready
   }
}

I use LZDoom and GZDoom

Im using is 3 texture packs for Doom 1, TNT, and Plutonia, a sprite pack for extra tree. And i have 1 new enemy the Rocketman. All this is from Realm 667. And i replaced the small and big font lumps.

[DoomBoy1999]

And the error still persists Ass.

[DoomBoy1999]

Wait i have the error but it fucking works? Okay. Thanks guys!

[iBrokeMyAss]

a good idea also, is just to run gzdoom with just ur mod
so no 3 texture packs for Doom 1, TNT, and Plutonia, a sprite pack for extra tree, or 1 new enemy the Rocketman.
