Getting a custom grenade to even work..

[Jangalomph]

Well.. first, i can't get my grenade to even spawn by impulse 101 like it used to.. "before i lost my code" And.. when i "give weapon_apv" it comes up, but its red.. and unselectable, as if it has no ammo!? I have a new ammo def type, and all i did was take grenade_frag.cpp, grenade_frag.h and weapon_frag rename them to weapon_apv, grenade_apv etc.. and then every thing that said CGrenadeFrag: or.. Fragwhatever was changed to Apv.. all of it. I also have a weapon_apv.txt file for it coded correctly AND its in the hl2_weaponstubbs.. or what ever its called. Every thing is normal like a normal weapon would be, but it doesn't work.. how surprising.

You need to give this weapon to the player within the impulse 101 code section

Where's that located?

[JLea]

player.cpp

search for case 101

Well guys, many months later, and random tries at getting it to work, it still doesn't give me any ammo.

Code: Select all

      GiveAmmo( 5,   "apv");

In player.cpp

also

Code: Select all

      GiveNamedItem( "weapon_apv" );

Code: Select all

STUB_WEAPON_CLASS( weapon_apv, WeaponApv, C_BaseHLCombatWeapon );

And all of the convars are correct. Why does it do this to me!?

Are you sure the script file is set-up correctly and you aren't setting the wrong type of ammo or something. From skimming through your posts it seems like you are doing everything correctly, maybe you just mis-typed a definition or something.

[Jangalomph]

Its like, almost impossible for a mis-type, i've done EVERY THING! Multiple times! No errors! I'll just recode this stupid thing again for the 4th time. Errors, here i come.

Okay, i made basedarkmatter_shared.h/cpp, weapon_darkmatter.cpp, grenade_darkmatter.h/.cpp and put this in my ammo.

Code: Select all

      def.AddAmmoType("Darkmatter",      DMG_DISSOLVE,            TRACER_NONE,         "sk_plr_dmg_darkmatter",   "sk_npc_dmg_darkmatter",   "sk_max_darkmatter",   0, 0);

its completely good now.. but it still shows no ammo. It will not work? Where in basedarkmatter_shared.h or cpp would i find the ammo type?

Code: Select all

LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS( darkmatter, CBaseDarkMatter );

I was thinking the first darkmatter was it.. but i dont think so :/
