Hello,

I was trying to speed up a weapon equip in GunGame Turbo mode and it works:

PHP Code:

/* Offsets for weapon equip time change */
Offset_WeaponIdleTime = FindSendPropOffs("CBaseCombatWeapon", "m_flTimeWeaponIdle");
if (Offset_WeaponIdleTime == INVALID_OFFSET)
{
    SetFailState("FATAL ERROR Offset_WeaponIdleTime [%d]. Please contact the author.", Offset_WeaponIdleTime);
}
    
Offset_NextAttack = FindSendPropOffs("CBasePlayer", "m_flNextAttack");
if (Offset_NextAttack == INVALID_OFFSET)
{
    SetFailState("FATAL ERROR Offset_NextAttack [%d]. Please contact the author.", Offset_NextAttack);
}

...

new Float:currentTime = GetGameTime();
SetEntDataFloat(ent, Offset_WeaponIdleTime, currentTime + (GetEntDataFloat(ent, Offset_WeaponIdleTime) - currentTime) * EquipTimeMultiplier, true);
SetEntDataFloat(client, Offset_NextAttack, currentTime + (GetEntDataFloat(client, Offset_NextAttack) - currentTime) * EquipTimeMultiplier, true); 


Second part executes just after player gets a new weapon.

Now the problem is that a weapon switch/equip animation is truncated. Is it possible to speed up that animation in a script? Maybe m_flPlaybackRate could help but when I read it, the value is always 0.0 and changing it does nothing. Maybe because I'm modifying it too late.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Yes, that looks right. I posted something like this in the GunGame thread and later I found out blodia had also written something very similar. But why is missing the animation a problem? Are you wanting something that decreases the weapon switch time by half instead of eliminates it?

[LordMarqus]

Yes, I decrease it, because eliminating it is not what I want. And I used your code posted in GG:SM topic, so credits go to you.

Do you think it's even possible to change this animation?

[databomb]

Hmm, when I was looking for the ent properties for the weapons, I couldn't get the playback to speedup either. You might want to look at the values for

235 CBaseCombatWeapon::SendWeaponAnim(int)

and see if it's possible to select an already existing one that's quicker. I'm not sure how to make a new one and tell it to do it in half the time - maybe there are some files in the GCF that could shed some light on the weapon animations.

Because I think if you set the idle time and next attack to cut off in the middle of the animation it will look jerky to the player, correct?

[LordMarqus]

Sorry for so late answer. The animation is truncated, it ends instantly after defined idle time. Yea, it's jerky.

[blodia]

which entity are you trying to change the animation speed on? if you're trying to change the clients viewmodel animation speed you have to use their predicted viewmodel entity which will cause prediction errors for clients with high pings.

Well I actually don't know how to change it
