Longbow cog *shudder* (RoX TC)

[Lord_Grismath]

Below is a totally redone version of the infamous longbow cog for the RoX TC.

Not too long a go, bel Iblis e-mailed me a new player model (i.e. playermodel in the symbols section) with the bow in the left hand for added realism, along with 2 keys, armbow (for the firing) and getarrow (for reloading).

Unfortunately, he made several errors. Firstly, the bow replaced the Thermal Detonator, and the 'detg.3do' was replaced with an arrow. However this was built off of the bryar pistol cog, and thus ingame, Tahben appeared with the bow in the left hand and the broadsword (the bryar replacement) in the right. I was able to fix this, but instead of playing the armbow or getarrow keys, Tahben simply swings the arrow around as if it were a broadsword. I checked the keys, and they all look fine, and it is thus that I am at a loss as to what is wrong. I'd write a new one myself, but I've never done weapon cogs before and am thus none too knowledegable about them. http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif

AAAaaaaaaaaanybody? http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif

you would be better off making a new cog based off the thermal detonator cog. it has everything you need in there, all you have to do is replace the tamplate, 3dos keys and whatnot, but if you really want to you can try to get this one working right.

dummy = FireProjectile(player, projectile, fireSound, 8, '0.0135 0.1624 0.0', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x20, autoAimFOV, autoAimFOV*2);

see the 4th feild? the 8. change that to -1 and it should solve the key problems

[Lord_Grismath]

Thanks, Gunboy, I'll try that out.

Our original cog (to support the right handed bow), was indeed based off of the thermdet, however, I tried to go back to it, and I find that my lack of experience in weapon cogging disallows m,e from making much headway here. Additionally, we moved to the bryar cog to shunt criticism on 'too much realism' for the bow and being unable to hit much of anything. (perhaps too high of a mass, or bad physflags, but it did have something to do with the cog). Regardless, I don't have enough keys for this. http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif

I'm going to test the cog with these new editations.

[Lord_Grismath]

http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif It didn't work.

I changed the original in the 1st cog, to the following per your instructions...



dummy = FireProjectile(player, projectile, fireSound, -1, '0.0135 0.1624 0.0', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x20, autoAimFOV, autoAimFOV*2);


... and it still played the same animations. I can't see how this is possible, as I have removed every instance of any semblance of the bryar replacement keys.

[TheTwistedSpasm]

Hm... I've written some weapon cogs that used error vectors, and the cogs seem to exagerate those vectors a lot. Is that what you're talking about?

As to the cog itself, the SetCurWeapon is set to 2. Changing that will help a lot.

[Lord_Grismath]

Ah-HA! You may have hit the nail on the head! I shall investigate...

[Lord_Grismath]

Yes, it worked, thank you very much!
