[Mod] Gunslinger [alpha][gunslinger]

[StarNinjas]

Yay looking good I found a problem, you can keep firing the cheetah if you hold down you can keep shooting even when out of bullets.
here are some suggestions:
-optional bullet texture per gun
-optional shot partical per gun
-you can make the partical bigger smaller and faster
-when partical hits node play crack sound
-optional reload time
thats some ideas I just though up rn

[ANAND]

Optional bullet-texture and shot-particle is already in the plans. The bullet already travels at 500m/s (the particle too), but if you're suggesting that the speed should be definable per-gun, that's a good idea. Handling nodes is a whole new department, and that requires a lot more code. That's probably going to take a little while, I'm afraid. Reload time can already be changed per-gun by (re-)defining reload_time field.

[StarNinjas]

cool!! Should work for me thous where just some ideas.

[StarNinjas]

Also could you make an example mod that uses this api?

[ANAND]

gunslinger itself uses all these features for its builtin gun(s) :P

There's also one third-party mod which depends on gunslinger: gunslinger_rangedweapons by sparky/Elkien3. Note that this mod depends on Elkien3's own fork of gunslinger, and would have issues working with the original API.

Ill have to read up on how this uses raycasting for my own coding ventures :P Any specific lines you can point me to?

Get two positions, and construct a raycast like so:

Code: Select all

local ray = minetest.raycast(pos1, pos2, true, false)


The following code gets first (i.e. next) node/object that the raycast intersects:

Code: Select all

local pointed_thing = ray:next()


Here are a couple of resources to get you started:
- API documentation on Raycast
- API documentation on pointed_thing (this is what Raycast:next() returns)

This mod only gets the first pointed thing, so I abstracted all the raycasting code as a separate helper function. But the result is that bullet penetration and/or multiple targets isn't supported at the moment.

v0.19 released!

Recoil is now a thing!

Recoil can be tuned per-gun by adjusting the recoil_mult field in the gun definition.

Check out the complete changelog here: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.19-pre

P.S. The list of features in the first post has been removed due to the additional maintenance burden.

[ANAND]

v0.20 released!

Bug-fixes!

How to add sounds? Just a question.

[ANAND]

Look for documentation on sounds, in https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... tion-table

[StarNinjas]

Can I please have a code example nothing has worked even used code from ranged weapons by Elkien.

[ANAND]

Checkout https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... r/guns.lua to see how Cheetah is registered. Note that it doesn't register custom sounds, so the default sounds are used. To register custom sounds for events, add the following to the gun definition:

Code: Select all

sounds = {
   fire = "fire_sound",
   reload = "reload_sound",
   ooa = "sound_played_when_there's_no_ammo_in_inventory",
   load = "sound_when_manually_loading_gun"
}


The values for the four fields should be the name of the corresponding sound file (with or without the .ogg extension). Make sure the sound files are in the sounds sub-folder of the mod.

All four sounds are optional, and the mod will play the default sounds for those not defined. Also note that the load sound is used only if gun sets mode to manual.

OK

[StarNinjas]

Thanks sooo much thinking about making a mod which depends on this

[ANAND]

Good to know you find this mod useful. Do let me know if anything can be improved. :)

[StarNinjas]

Ideas:
-Add texture when gun is reloading
-Some guns can slow your movement down
Issues:
-When reloading what ever slot is selected is where the reloaded gun is put
Soo the mod i'm working on adds FN like guns.

[ANAND]

-Add texture when gun is reloading
-Some guns can slow your movement down

I don't exactly understand the first idea, sorry. The second idea is in the works (somewhat), but I'm afraid the implementation might not be the best, as there's no straightforward and lag-free way to check player's wielded item and update stuff accordingly.

-When reloading what ever slot is selected is where the reloaded gun is put

Yes, that's a known bug, but thanks for reporting.

Good luck on your mod! :)

What I mean is like in ranged weapons when your rloading the gun swaps items/texture.

[ANAND]

Ah I see. That's just a different way of handling reloading. gunslinger uses item wear and item meta instead of registering a separate item for the loaded state. But I'm curious - what are the use-cases you have in mind?

[StarNinjas]

I don't see what you mean use cases?
