New weapon help??

[Iamthaguvna]

First Off... I'm new to this forum, and fairly new to modding for that matter, so if im in the wrong topic area please let me know.

I wanted to make a new crowbar which hit fast and hard and from far away. So I followed the tutorial from Interlopers on adding a new weapon, which was actually really nice.
when it came to the creation of the coding I copied weapon_crowbar.cpp and weapon_crowbar.h and renamed it to weapon_supercrowbar.cpp and such. I then proceeded to rename all references to crowbar to supercrowbar so there wasnt a conflict. It compiles just fine now.

I got my crowbar up and running... and im able to use it in game, with one problem... I cannot actually damage any enemy!
It shows blood spot on the NPC wherever i hit it, but no blood flies onto the ground. Even wierder yet... I can kill a headcrab with my crowbar, but no blood comes out of it, where otherwise blood would splat.

The error in the console reads:

Code: Select all

AddMultiDamage:  g_MultiDamage.GetDamageForce() == vec3_origin
CBaseEntity::TakeDamage:  with inputInfo.GetDamageForce() == vec3_origin

If anyone has any suggestions please help?
Thanks in advance!

Wrong board, this is more suitable to Modelling or Level-Design.

On-Topic: I can't help you with this, as I know nothing about these things. Yet...

Alright... will a mod move it or should i copy and paste it somewhere else? heh...
sorry
Thanks for the speedy reply though

each weapon has their own damage type which goes in the code and then finally in the cfg/skill.cfg file

you should look up all the damage info for the crowbar and base your own damage info from that.
