When I say rate of fire, I'm talking about making a fully automatic weapon shoot semi-automatic, and then controlling the refire time. I wanted to see if anyone has a working method for this. Thanks for any help.

You mean like make a burst mod on ak47 ?

[Tirant]

Not a burst. Like, I'm trying to make the gun shoot one bullet per click. I'm trying some different things, and right now the one I got is pretty close.

I'm trying to make like a laser tag mod, and I don't want to make custom weapons. So what I've done now is basically I gave a player a weapon, and then I set that player to no ammo. Then I can trigger the firing based upon when they use their fire key, and track a delay based on their last release of the button. It works ingame pretty good, except there is a delay between click and fire, and I'm working on removing the annoying dryfire sound.

Or... hmm, what if I blocked the attack and right when I block the attack, I block the animation of the gun firing from playing by playing the animation of idle. This would sort of create a semi-auto gun. I think I'll try doing that in a bit.

public fw_CmdStart( id, uc_handle, randseed )
{
    if (!g_isAlive[id])
        return FMRES_IGNORED
        
    new button = get_uc( uc_handle , UC_Buttons );
    new oldbutton = pev(id, pev_oldbuttons)
    
    if( button & IN_ATTACK && !(oldbutton & IN_ATTACK))
        g_isFiring[id] = true
    else if( oldbutton & IN_ATTACK && !(button & IN_ATTACK) && g_isFiring[id])
        g_isFiring[id] = false

    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}

public fw_PlayerPreThink(id)
{
    if (!g_isAlive[id])
        return FMRES_IGNORED
    
    if (g_fLastAttack[id]+ATTACK_DELAY > get_gametime())
        return FMRES_IGNORED;
    g_fLastAttack[id] = get_gametime();
    
    if (g_isFiring[id])
    {
        emit_sound(id,CHAN_WEAPON,LASER_SOUND, 1.0, ATTN_NORM, 0, PITCH_NORM);
    }

    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}

Like the deagle (actually any pistols) ? If so, what the CS code does is in DEAGLEFire() function, for example, is to check if m_iShotsFired offset is > 1, then if so it stops here. So you can play with the *Fire() function on the weapon you need.

Without orpheu, you would need to do something near of your code, checking if old_buttons doesn't contain IN_ATTACK and blocking the attack, though I'm not sure why you are using PreThink.

Well, I played around with it for a bit, and I've reached what I needed. Basically, I made it so people can hold down their attack buttons for repeating fire (with the delay). It works really nicely ingame, the last thing I need to fix now is to possibly make the laser work better. I have an idea that I'll try and I'll post if it works later.

[Tirant]

Well, I was able to improve the laser a lot, and it is looking pretty cool ingame. I optimized it so it isn't too bad. It's not as smooth as I wanted it, but it's better then it was, and you don't notice it much because it shoots fast. I think I'm pretty much done with the first part of my new mod now .
