... to fire once when selected...?

_K_

You're trying to get the weapon to fire when it's selected?
-under the selected message(or maybe it's activated, can't remember) call the firing message.

Or the weapon fires when selected and you don't want it to?
-if that's the case, you'll have to post the cog for us to looki at it.

Just a note for in the future, a little more information of what you're trying to do makes everything easier in the long run.

Thanks for the reply...!

Yes; I want to know what the code for "FireWhenSelected" (or whatever) would be in order to cause a saber to swing one time when selected... I want it to fire when it's selected. What is the "firing message?"

Nope; it doesn't fire when selected (but I want it to).

Thanx...!

Not sure if this'll work, but open weap_saber.cog in notepad and at the end of the selected: code (before the return) add

call fire;

I havn't edited in a while, but if I remember right, that might do what you're looking for.

Try this code:

ActivateWeapon(player, fireWait, mode);

Put it under selected. Choose whichever mode you want the weapon to fire in.

Wahoo...! THANX -- that did it...!!!

Well, sorta -- now I just need to stop that saber from incessantly swinging once selected

Thanx again,

Oops, my bad.

Sleep(fireWait);
DeactivateWeapon(player, mode);

Throw that in after the ActivateWeapon, and it should be good. Set the mode to whatever it was in ActivateWeapon.

Whoah: Not "your bad": it was easy enough to stop the incessant saber swinging... thanx for your input -- your SetFireWait command may be just the next little piece of code that may solve the remainder of what I'm trying to accomplish: a big THANX to ya...!
