here i go again.. i'm trying to get the weapon to fire with less accuracy when the player moves... but when i got that thing below in the cog, I can't even select the weapon... what's wrong?

dummy = FireProjectile(player, projectile,
fireSound, 18, '0.0214 0.15 0.00', randVec, 1.0, 0x20, autoAimFOV, autoAimFOV*2);

if (sloppy == IsThingMoving(player));
{
randVec = VectorSet((Rand()-0.9)*5, (Rand()-0.9)*5, 0.0);
}
else
{
randVec = VectorSet((Rand()0.0)*1, (Rand()0.0)*1, 0.0);
}

Hmmmm, try this:



You just need to check if the thing is moving, dunno what you were tryin to do. Also, if you're not gonna have it be random at all if he's still, you just set the vector to 0/0/0. It would also help if the FireProjectile statement was after your random fire vector stuff.

[edit] Aha! Found your problem. You have a ; after the if statement, that'll cause the weapon to not be selectable. [/edit]

i'm sorry.. but i can't know everything from the start.... thanks anyway!

s'ok, gotta learn somehow.

hmm... it's still the same problem.. when i change from any weapon without that code to weapons with it i see the dismount animation as usual but the weapon that is supposed to come up doesn't... and when i shoot, it's the weapon i changed from...

Dont use 'Randvec' as a variable. That is a command, so that will cause problems. Change it to 'Randvec_' or the like.

Use Cogwriter and check to see if you have any syntax errors. I always get that problem if the weapon I'm switching to has problems in the cog.

GBK, LEC uses randVec for a variable in the storm trooper rifle cog, that's where he got his base code from.

I suggest leaving Rand()-0.5 instead of changing to Rand()-0.9 if you wish the fire error to be based from the center

Everything else you should be fine

I also suggest that you make the weapon less accurate when firing in long brusts.

Also is it possible to make the weapon more accurate when crouching?

if (IsThingMoving(player)
{
randVec = VectorSet((Rand()-0.5)*5, (Rand()-0.5)*5, 0.0);
}
else
{
randVec = VectorSet(0, 0, 0);
}
dummy = FireProjectile(player, projectile, fireSound, 18, '0.0214 0.15 0.00', randVec, 1.0, 0x20, autoAimFOV, autoAimFOV*2);

I've thought about those things but I'm not really sure how to make it less accurate when you fire in long bursts...

Do you mean making it more accurate even while you move when you crouch?

Well when I experiment the cog with activated and deactivated messages, I found that if you hold your fire the weapon will continue to be activated, and when you stop the fire the deactivated message runs.

Then I made the cog to have a counter that increases by 1 when a shot is fired, and resets to 0 when you stop shooting. Accuracy is based on this brust number.

This cog weapon cog for a rifle/SMG that provides a 30 round clip capacity and accuracy decreases in long brusts. Feel free to use/copy/modifly it whatever to fulfill your needs. The less accuracy when moving and accuracy bonus when moving has not be implemented yet in this cog.
