WeaponFire

UT2003 :: Actor >> WeaponFire (Package: Engine)

Weapons in UT2003 have been divided up into multiple actors, of which this one is intimately involved. WeaponFire actors and their children form the FireMode[i] array in Weapon which manifests itself on the screen as the different modes of firing a weapon can do (typically the primary and secondary fire). The properties for the firing of a weapon reside in the weaponfire classes, including fire rate, damage, etc.

Properties

Weapon (Weapon): Points to the weapon this WeaponFire belongs to.
ThisModeNum (int): Either 0 or 1 depending on which position in the weapon's FireMode array this WeaponFire is.
PreFireAnim (Name): Animation played before firing starts.
FireAnim (Name): Animation played when firing starts.
FireLoopAnim (Name)
FireEndAnim (Name): Animation played when firing ends.
ReloadAnim (Name)
PreFireAnimRate (float)
FireAnimRate (float)
FireLoopAnimRate (float)
FireEndAnimRate (float)
ReloadAnimRate (float)
TweenTime (float): Used to create fluent transitions between animations. Old anim will fade into new one depending on the given time.
FireSound (Sound)
ReloadSound (Sound)
NoAmmoSound (Sound)
FireForce (String): Force FeedBack file to play with the .ifr file
PreFireForce (String)
PreFireTime (float): seconds before first shot*/
FireRate (float): seconds between shots*/
MaxHoldTime (float): Maximum value to clamp HoldTime.
HoldTime (float): How long the fire button has been held, in seconds. Great for chargeable weapons.
bFireOnRelease (): if true, shot will be fired when button is released, HoldTime will be the time the button was held for*/
bWaitForRelease (): if true, fire button must be released between each shot*/
bModeExclusive (): if true, no other fire modes can be active at the same time as this one*/
AmmoClass (class<Ammunition>)
AmmoPerFire (int): Ammount of Ammo used when gun fired
AmmoClipSize (int)
Load (float): Ammo the firemode wants to consume. May vary if the firemode uses variable amounts of ammo. Automatically set to be equal to AmmoPerFire initially.
ShakeRotMag (vector): how far to rot view*/
ShakeRotRate (vector): how fast to rot view*/
ShakeRotTime (): how much time to rot the instigator's view*/
ShakeOffsetMag (vector): max view offset vertically*/
ShakeOffsetRate (vector): how fast to offset view vertically*/
ShakeOffsetTime (): how much time to offset view*/
ProjectileClass (class<Projectile>): Which projectile to create when firing
BotRefireRate (float): AI setting, for how fast bot can fire - 0.99 highest (for assault rifle) (Foxpaw: I believe this is actually the probability that a bot will continue firing in "full automatic" as opposed to stopping firing briefly and then resuming the next time it thinks it has a good shot. The higher this value is, the more the bot will "spray and pray" as opposed to taking aimed shots.)
WarnTargetPct (float): AI & Projectile setting, warns target - for bot dodging etc
bSplashDamage (bool): AI setting, lets bot know that weapon causes plash damage
bSplashJump (bool)
bRecommendSplashDamage (bool): AI setting, try to hit people with splash damage e.g. bouncing people with rockets
bTossed (bool): AI setting, tells bots to launch projectile up at an angle, e.g. for grenades.
bLeadTarget (bool): AI setting for prjectile so that bot aims ahead of target
bInstantHit (bool): AI setting for intant hit weapons so bot aim at target
bPawnRapidFireAnim (): for determining what anim the firer should play*/
bReflective ()
bAttachSmokeEmitter (bool)
bAttachFlashEmitter (bool)
FlashEmitterClass (class<xEmitter>)
FlashEmitter (xEmitter)
SmokeEmitterClass (class<xEmitter>)
SmokeEmitter (xEmitter)
AimError (float): 0=none 1000=quite a bit*/
Spread (float): rotator units. no relation to AimError*/
SpreadStyle (ESpreadStyle): How the shots spread. Has four values: SS_None, SS_Random, where spread is max random angle deviation, SS_Line where spread is angle between each projectile and SS_Ring.
DamageAtten (float): attenuate instant-hit/projectile damage by this multiplier*/

Non-editable

ServerStartFireTime (float)
NextFireTime (float): Minimum required Level.timeSeconds for the engine to call ModeDoFire().
bIsFiring (): Used by the engine to decide if ModeDoFire() has to be called. It's set by Weapon.startFire(mode) and cleared by Weapon.stopFire(mode).
bNowWaiting ()
bServerDelayStopFire ()
bServerDelayStartFire ()
FireCount (int)
