Can you stop a cog in it's tracks?

[Ivan_the_Mediocre]

is there a way to make a weapon cog stop completely in the activated message? I'm looking for a way to make the weapon skip the fire message.

The fire message won't run at all unless ActivateWeapon() starts it - this verb is usually in the activated message of weapon cogs. So you might use something like:



if(!supposedToFire) Return;


in the beginning of your weapon's activated message.

That explains how to do what you want, but why exactly do you want to skip the fire message?

i'm trying to make a weapon(pistol) that fires 10 bullets before you have to reload. my current problem is the reload time is 0seconds. if i can stop the fire message i can make it work. if i knew how to attach code to this message i'd show you the cog.

You should use bins for storing releoads, are you? Otherwise, switching weapons is going to screw everything up. I think.
