BatThwap for your custom weapon

[gopostal]

I grew up during the time of campy Batman and so I have a real fondness for the cartoonish "Bam" and "POW!" they would show. Yesterday I needed a pick-me-up so I added it into my coop rifle. Since there's not been a lot of project pasting I thought I'd add the code in here for anyone to use, no mutator required. This code can just be slipped into your weapon code pretty easily.

First, this is how it looks:

And here is how you get it:

1. In your weapon code add this line

Code: Select all

var config float ShowChance;

This allows you to tailor the amount of times it shows the various sprites. I like a pretty good amount of them but tweak as you see fit.

2. Next in your weapon code find the section where damage is dealt. For example in my coop rifle I have this section:

Code: Select all

function ProcessTraceHit(Actor Other, Vector HitLocation, Vector HitNormal, Vector X, Vector Y, Vector Z)
{

      else if (Other!=None && Other!=Self)
      {
            if (Other.bIsPawn && (instigator.IsA('PlayerPawn') || (instigator.skill > 1)) && Pawn(Other).IsHeadShot(HitLocation,X))
            {
                  Other.TakeDamage(3000, Pawn(Owner), HitLocation, 35000 * X, 'decapitated');

so directly after that last line I will add

Code: Select all

                  chancehit = FRand();
                  if (chancehit

Oh, this is super neat. I'm sure koopa would've loved this for some of his stuff. Wonder if this is workable into a mutator/gamerules...
