Problems with making grenade launchers and magazines

[Yij]

Hi,
   I'm making a weapon for Opflash: Resistance (OICW, for personal use) and I've got a few problems with it. I've made many weapons before, but this is my first time making one with a grenade launcher clip, and it's taken many months and effort, different styles of configs and what not. I can make one with a single shot grenade launcher, but a clip sized grenade launcher and the whole thing bugs up with errors.

1. The thing is stuck at single fire, burst and grenade launcher. I added full auto but for some reason it's not selecting it ingame. It goes from single to burst to grenade. I have no idea why this is, I've checked over hundreds of times and full auto should work, but it's not.

2. I want to make seperate magazines for the gun(30 round rifle rounds and 6 grenade rounds) so it will have it's own reload sound (currently it keeps playing the original one for all rifles in the game) and a clip for the grenades that can hold 6 rounds. I've tried making my own clips but it keeps coming up with errors this can't be found, undefined base class this and that, blah de blah. I
 normally use this config:

Code: [Select]

class YIJ_OICWMag : YIJ_OICW
{
scopeWeapon=0;
scopeMagazine=2;
picture="\dtaext\equip\m\m_m4.paa";
displayNameMagazine = "OICW Magazine";
shortNameMagazine = "OICW";
                count=30;
};
};
[/b]
but then that keeps bugging me about undefined base class, so I didn't use it. If someone could tell me how to write a new magazine properly that would be great. A link to a still working tutorial would be ace.

Thanks very much for the help! If you need me to send you the actual weapon to work in the game I will do so.

Here's my config.cpp file

[remcen]

your class YIJ_OICWGL looks a bit lonely to me...

[Yij]

What's that supposed to mean?

[remcen]

that's supposed to mean that YIJ_OICWGL needs a parent class which is doesn't have
therefore you're getting this undefined class base error.

class GrenadeLauncher: Default {};
   class YIJ_OICWGL: Grenadelauncher

[Yij]

Parent class, you mean something like

   class Default   {};
   class MGun: Default {};
   class Riffle: MGun {};
   class M16: Riffle {};

How would I make one for this grenade launcher? Everything I did seems to have an error message everytime or if not, not appearing in the game. I've tried searching everywhere for a simple grenade launcher making tutorial but strangely enough, there is non.

[h-]

Look at the bold text in remcen's post, he means that your config which you posted is missing that line and therefore the weapon does not inherit from anything (any parent class) and gives errors..

I don't like to post working configs/etc. because part of learning is to discover yourself why something does not work , but try this:

Code: [Select]

class GrenadeLauncher: Default {};
class RiffleGrenadeLauncher: GrenadeLauncher {};

class YIJ_OICWGL: RiffleGrenadeLauncher
{
scopeWeapon=2;
scopeMagazine=0;
weaponType=1;
displayName="OICW 20mmGL";
model="\OICW\OICW.p3d";
picture="\dtaext\equip\m\m_m4.paa";
muzzles[]={"YIJ_OICWMuzzle","YIJ_OICWGLMuzzle"};
recoil="OICW20mmrec";

class YIJ_OICWMuzzle: M16
{
modelOptics = "optika_snpierw";
optics = true;
opticsZoomMin=0.04;
opticsZoomMax=0.12;
displayNameMagazine="OICW Mag";
shortNameMagazine="OICW";
magazines[]={"YIJ_OICW"};
};
class YIJ_OICWGLMuzzle: GrenadeLauncher
{
displayName="OICW 20mmGL";
modelOptics = "optika_snpierw";
optics = true;
opticsZoomMin=0.04;
opticsZoomMax=0.12;
sound[]={"weapons\M16GrenadeLaunch",0.000316,1};
magazines[]={"GrenadeLauncher"};
recoil="OICW20mmrec";
};
};
Not sure if that helps..

Thanks for the help, HateR_Kint & Remcen. With a bit of modification it helped, and I managed to finally add 2 seperate magazine classes without it crashing (all I needed to do was put it somewhere else). Here is what the weaponcfg looks like.

What I want is to have the weapon also use the grenade launcher clip

Code: [Select]

class YIJ_OICWGLmag but so far my efforts haven't been succesful. I think I might need to add

Code: [Select]

muzzles[]={"YIJ_OICWMuzzle","YIJ_OICWGLMuzzle"}; somewhere but I don't know where.
