Weapon Types

Custom scripted weapon functionality

Weapons can have extra functionality added to them by setting the ls_weapons_weaponType property in the weapon's config.

Akimbo

When the weapon is fired, the weapon will alternate between the first two muzzles that are defined in the weapon's muzzle property. E.g. muzzles[] = {"right", "left"};. The muzzle will only be selected if it has ammo remaining.

Used by: Dual DC-17S Pistols

Weapon config:

ls_weapons_weaponType = 1;
ls_weapons_akimboDummy = "ls_weapon_dc17s_dual_dummyWeapon"; // NVG class, see below
ls_weapons_akimboReloadTime = 2.49; // How long to keep the dummy NVG equipped

// Need to add a call to ls_weapons_fnc_animateAkimbo in the muzzle's reload event.
// This triggers at the *start* of the reload, which is why it must be added here.
modes[] = {};
muzzles[] = {"Right", "Left"};
class Right {
    displayName = "Right Hand";
    class EventHandlers {
        reload = "call ls_weapons_fnc_animateAkimbo";
    };
};
class Left: Right {
    displayName = "Left Hand";
    showToPlayer = 0;
};

NVG config:

// To animate the second pistol, we use a dummy NVG class that is temporarily added.
class Binocular;
class NVGoggles: Binocular {
    class ItemInfo;
};
class ls_weapon_dc17s_dual_dummyWeapon: NVGoggles {
    scope = 1;
    author = "You";
    displayName = "";
    descriptionShort = "";

    model = "\path\to\dummy\model.p3d";;
    hiddenSelections[] = {...};
    hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {...};

    visionMode[] = {"Normal"};
    thermalMode[] = {};

    class ItemInfo: ItemInfo {
        uniformModel = "\path\to\dummy\model.p3d";
        modelOff = "\path\to\dummy\model.p3d";
        hiddenSelections[] = {...};
        mass = 0;
    };
};

The NVG dummy model will need to be rotated similarly to the attached image. The left shows the model for the dual DC-17S weapon, and the right shows the model used for the dummy NVG item used for the reload.
