Hi all,

I don't know much about animation scripting so hopefully someone can tell me if this is even possible.

I understand a while ago that a lot of new weapon specific lua commands were introduced, so my question is, is there a way for a weapon that is equipped to run a specific number of animation frames?

So for example, if I walk into a trigger zone, the weapon I am holding will play, lets say frames 100-200 and then go back to its default?

These are valid animation calls for weapons:
select = 303,311
idle = 10,60
move = 116,156
;run = 209,249

melee start = 347,353
melee end = 354,370

;fire = 525,531
start fire = 525,527
end fire = 528,531

;last fire = 534,543
last start fire = 534,536
last end fire = 537,543

empty melee start = 380,386
empty melee end = 387,403

alt empty reload = 1570,1619
alt empty putaway = 1436,1443

The frame ranges would have to be animated. You would have to use an alt mod right now to access these. The weapons system is still hard coded, so a question to Lee may be in order.

Hi Myke, thanks for the reply!

what is an alt mod?

say if when i walk into a zone could a certain animation range like the examples you posted play? e.g. alt reload = 1520,1563?

Alt mode is another way to get more animations into the weapon.
The UZI has alt mode capabilities. Extra animations included. Not all weapons have this.
If you press V while using it, it goes into single shot mode. Pressing V again puts it back to automatic.

These can not be access thru scripts that I know of. It is controlled by pressing the V key to activate the alternative mode.
Check out the UZI's gunspec.txt file.

Maybe Errant A.I. will see this and reply.

I had no idea about this.... time to jump back into the sandbox. Be amazing if there was a way to integrate this with scripting. As I'd love for the ability to block with a sword and things like that.

I dont know enough about scripting to not mess up the gameplayercontrol.lua file. If Lee opened it up, it should be in here somewhere.
