Well, took a bit of a more carefull approach and think the most
important part is ready.
Now the harder part I don't really know if I'm doing it right.
Well first up my events look like this now:
case EVENT_WEAPON_SEQUENCE_FINISHED:
m_fDrawbackFinished = true;
break;
case EVENT_WEAPON_THROW:
DecrementAmmo( pOwner );
fThrewGrenade = true;
break;
case EVENT_WEAPON_THROW2:
DecrementAmmo( pOwner );
fThrewGrenade = true;
break;
case EVENT_WEAPON_THROW3:
DecrementAmmo( pOwner );
fThrewGrenade = true;
break;
case EVENT_WEAPON_PULLPIN:
if ( m_AttackPaused == GRENADE_PAUSED_PRIMARY )
{
SetTimer( GRENADE_TIMER2 );
ThrowGrenade( pOwner );
}
else if ( m_AttackPaused == GRENADE_PAUSED_SECONDARY )
{
SetTimer( GRENADE_TIMER2 );
//See if we're ducking
if ( pOwner->m_nButtons & IN_DUCK )
{
RollGrenade( pOwner );
}
else
{
LobGrenade( pOwner );
}
}
the bool fThrewGrenade is initialized in the constructor(I think it's
the constructor.. it's CWeaponFrag::CWeaponFrag( void ) right? )
it's declared on the top of the file on the same place as the network
vars though it;s not a networkvar atm(not sure if it should be?)
As can be seen in the events it checks if ur paused as primary or
secondary and if crouching or not. Then calls the relevant functions for
them
in the functions is something like this:
CBaseGrenade *pGrenade = Fraggrenade_Create( vecSrc, vec3_angle,
vecThrow, AngularImpulse(200,random->RandomInt(-600,600),0), pPlayer,
GRENADE_TIMER, false, fThrewGrenade );
I added the , fThrewGrenade on the end as an argument but I'm not sure
if that works.
I'm pretty much assuming since the function is called once the value is
only sent once?
Any idea how I should have it sent the value again WITHOUT creating a
second entity.
because if I do the same line again then it would create a second entity...
