UT2004 :: Object >> WeaponFire (Package: Engine)

Weapons in UT2004 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

bool bSplashDamage 
bool bSplashJump 
bool bRecommendSplashDamage 
bool bTossed 
bool bLeadTarget 
bool bInstantHit

other useful stuff

bool bPawnRapidFireAnim 
for determining what anim the firer should play
bool bReflective 
bool bTimerLoop 
bool bFireOnRelease 
if true, shot will be fired when button is released, HoldTime will be the time the button was held for
bool bWaitForRelease 
if true, fire button must be released between each shot
bool bModeExclusive 
if true, no other fire modes can be active at the same time as this one
bool bIsFiring 
bool bNowWaiting 
bool bServerDelayStopFire 
bool bServerDelayStartFire

OlympusMons: Need to get some stuff happening for the ut2004 weaponfire class. Ok so I did pretty much straight from the source but comments will be addded. I wouldnt mind adding a few tutorials in this area for multi-ammo weapons, reloading and spreadfire weapons like shotguns. I have some basic code of my own for ut2004 for these but its still a bit buggy so until I get things ironed out I wont waste your time.

OlympusMons: Ok so I linked the subclasses, Im guessing that they are all very similar to the ut2003 ones so it shouldnt cause any big problems as most of the functionality of weaponfire is similar, except the inclusion of a few functions like trace etc to get the firemodes to operate correctly as subclasses of object. I'll try to update the subclasses with ut2004 info as needed.
