Yeah, I was a bit disappointing when I learned that lol, I was hoping it would be a more "real" solution. Ah well. My Brimstone unit resulted from this.

Scathis really uses one barrel for all firing events and just cycles thru the aninamtion per each shot fired.

If I just # out the animation lines I get the following error:

Code:: INFO: Fire gun1! INFO: Gun1 deactivated WARNING: Error running lua script: ...nce\mods\thedairyfarm\units\secret\secret_script.lua(45): attempt to call method `SetWeaponEnabledByLabel' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...nce\mods\thedairyfarm\units\secret\secret_script.lua(45): in function <...nce\mods\thedairyfarm\units\secret\secret_script.lua:39>

Which kind of suggests to me that the weapon cannot be disabled from within itself?
heeelllppp

Still tinkering;
I get an error now, which is partly helpful i guess:

Code:: WARNING: Error running lua script: ...nce\mods\thedairyfarm\units\secret\secret_script.lua(42): attempt to call method `PlayAnim' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...nce\mods\thedairyfarm\units\secret\secret_script.lua(42): in function <...nce\mods\thedairyfarm\units\secret\secret_script.lua:39>

The code now:

Code:: Weapons = { Gun1 = Class(SecretWeapon) { OnWeaponFired = function(self) SecretWeapon.OnWeaponFired() self:ForkThread(self.GunSwap) LOG('Fire gun1!') end, GunSwap = function(self) self.Reload1 = CreateAnimator(self) --************ self.Trash:Add(self.Reload1) self.Reload1:PlayAnim('/mods/TheDairyFarm/units/secret/secret_Reload1.sca', true):SetRate(1) WaitSeconds(self.Reload1:GetAnimationTime()) LOG('Gun1 deactivated') self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun1', false) LOG('Gun2 activated') self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun2', true) self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun1'):SetHeadingPitch(self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun2'):GetHeadingPitch()) end, },

That's duplicated for Gun2 and Gun3, but it never gets past the starred line

Weapon-Triggered activation/deactivation code

2016-12-28T19:33:54+02:00

Hi Faf,
Me needing help again!
I have a unit with three unique weapons that I would like to activate/deactivate based on what fired last. Ideally so they fire consecutively after each other.
Ie Gun1 fires, deactivates, an animation occurs to 'set up' Gun2, then Gun2 fires, etc.

This is what I have currently, except the guns never swap:

Code:: OnCreate = function(self) SecretUnit.OnCreate(self) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun2', false) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun3', false) end, Weapons = { Gun1 = Class(Secret1) { OnFire = function(self) self:Fire() Secret1.OnFire() end, Fire = function(self) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun1', false) self.Reload1 = CreateAnimator(self) self.Reload1:PlayAnim(self:GetBlueprint().Display.AnimationReload1, true):SetRate(1) self.Trash:Add(self.Reload1) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun2', true) self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun1'):SetHeadingPitch(self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun2'):GetHeadingPitch()) end, }, Gun2 = Class(Secret2) { OnFire = function(self) self:Fire() Secret2.OnFire() end, Fire = function(self) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun2', false) self.Reload2 = CreateAnimator(self) self.Reload2:PlayAnim(self:GetBlueprint().Display.AnimationReload2, true):SetRate(1) self.Trash:Add(self.Reload2) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun3', true) self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun2'):SetHeadingPitch(self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun3'):GetHeadingPitch()) end, }, Gun3 = Class(Secret3) { OnFire = function(self) self:Fire() Secret3.OnFire() end, Fire = function(self) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun3', false) self.Reload3 = CreateAnimator(self) self.Reload3:PlayAnim(self:GetBlueprint().Display.AnimationReload3, true):SetRate(1) self.Trash:Add(self.Reload2) self:SetWeaponEnabledByLabel('Gun1', true) self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun3'):SetHeadingPitch(self:GetWeaponManipulatorByLabel('Gun1'):GetHeadingPitch()) end, }, },

I threw in some LOG('words') in there, and it seems like the OnFire function is never actually called, what function should I be using?

Thanks!!
