I need a cog, that when an enemy gets in your pov, it automatically fires without have to push the fire button. So far, I have a weap_conc that auto aims, I just need to add code so that as soon as the enemy is in view, it fires on the enemy.

I already have the auto aim part figured out, I just need to have it fire automatically.

Any ideas?

Code:

   // Check all things for our victim.
   victim = -1;
   maxDot = 0;

   // Search for all players and actors.
   potential = FirstThingInView(player, 35, 8, 0x404);
   while(potential != -1)
   {
      if(
         HasLOS(player, potential) &&
         (potential != player) &&
         (VectorDist(GetThingPos(player), GetThingPos(potential)) <= 5) &&
         !(GetThingFlags(potential) & 0x200))
      {
         dot = ThingViewDot(player, potential);
         if(dot > maxDot)
         {
            victim = potential;
            maxDot = dot;
         }
      }
      potential = NextThingInView();
   }

   // If we have a victim...
   if(victim != -1)
   {
      powerBoost = GetInv(player, 63);
      ActivateWeapon(player, fireWait/powerBoost, mode);
   }
   else
   {
      DeactivateWeapon(player, mode);
   }

Something like that could do the trick, though implementing it into the weapon will take a little more than copy/pasting.
