Erm, yeah, the secondary fire of the crossbow charging, could someone possibly explain how it works? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

The main difference between the charging of the crossbow and regular weapons is the actual firing occurs in the deactivated message instead of the fire message. The deactivated message will check for how long the button was held and store it in a variable. (delay time I think) Then it fires a different amount of bolts based on a simple variable test. The fire message actually does little more than change the sound pitch of the charging sound channel.

It's really simple.

In activated:
change the activateweapon line to say "Activateweapon(player, 0, mode);"

in Deactivated:, put "Delaytime=deactivateweapon(player, mode);" and delaytime will be a flex of how long the button was held.

Just make stuff depend on delaytime, it's pretty easy.
