Weapon-Triggered activation/deactivation code

[Dudekahedron]

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: Select all

    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!!

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

Code: Select all

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: Select all

    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

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

Code: Select all

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

I've abandoned this approach, anything within the weapon's function/class (whatever it is) is limited in functionality. It won't accept animations or sliders, only rotations... So I'm using a Scathis-script like approach now.

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

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.
