Modifying image states

by Darkfire Games · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 03/19/2007 (11:15 pm) · 2 replies

I have 2 modes of fire for my weapon, and i want to change the fire states timeout value, so changing the fire rate.

if (!%this.fireMode)
    {
        %this.stateTimeoutValue[3] = 0.1;
        %projectile = %this.projectile;
    } else {
        %this.stateTimeoutValue[3] = 1.0;
        %projectile = %this.projectileAlt;
    }
    echo(%this.stateTimeoutValue[3]);

It echos correctly but there is no change in fire rate. Im new so no doubt its something stupid, or it just cant be done.

This is in the server code, right?

You need to do some research on datablocks and how they work. You can not change a datablock on the server and expect the simulation to continue properly. I am also not sure if you can change the timeout values directly without calling onAdd ().
