Rapid Fire

by Todd Johnson · in Torque Game Engine · 12/29/2004 (7:12 pm) · 5 replies

Any idea how I could implement rapid fire? Would I just increase the fire/reload timeouts? I'd want to turn it on and off (an ability). How could I accomplish this?

Dynamically change the timeouts based on a schedule?

Just in case you're interested in fast firing sound issue (all audio channels filled up)

Those are good references but unfortunately I don't think they fully address what I would like. I have a weapon that fires say 5 bullets a second. Well lets say I magically gained an ability that let me fire 10 bullets a second for some duration of time. I tried to change the timeouts when this ability occurs but for some reason it's not having any effect.

The datablock changes aren't getting propagated over the network, most likely. This is the sort of thing you could probably do in the C++ pretty easily, by adding a ghost mask and an extra field in ShapeBase to store a temporary modification to the datablock values. RTSUnitModifiers in the RTS pack work along similar lines to what you'd want to do.
