Making NPCs fire in bursts of two or three?

[Flubadoo]

What I have so far:

[lua]function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end
local bullet = {} -- Set up the shot
bullet.Num = self.Primary.NumShots
bullet.Src = self.Owner:GetShootPos()
bullet.Dir = self.Owner:GetAimVector()
if self.Owner:IsPlayer() then
bullet.Spread = Vector( (self.Primary.Cone / 90)/4, (self.Primary.Cone / 90)/4, 0 )
else
bullet.Spread = Vector( self.Primary.Cone / 90, self.Primary.Cone / 90, 0 )
end
bullet.Tracer = self.Primary.Tracer
bullet.Force = self.Primary.Force
if self.Owner:IsPlayer() then
bullet.Damage = self.Primary.Damage * 4
else
bullet.Damage = self.Primary.Damage
end
bullet.AmmoType = self.Primary.Ammo
self.Owner:FireBullets( bullet )
self.Owner:MuzzleFlash()
self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK )
self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 )
self.Weapon:EmitSound(Sound(self.Primary.Sound))
if !self.Owner:IsNPC() then
if (self.Primary.TakeAmmoPerBullet) then
self:TakePrimaryAmmo(self.Primary.NumShots)
else
self:TakePrimaryAmmo(1)
end
end
self:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Delay )
end[/lua]

How would I make NPCs fire in bursts of two or three? It would be under if !self.Owner:IsNPC.

I just feel like experimenting with npc sweps. This is for an an94.

Increase bullet.Num?

[QUOTE=commander204;22192775]Increase bullet.Num?[/QUOTE]

Isnt that under if the swep is held by a player?

And also wont it make it like a shotgun?

here is my burst code that i use. I have cut out a lot of the usual stuff. This has it where i shoot 1 bullet 3 times with a slight delay.
[lua]
burst = 0//put it up at the top

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()

burst = burst + 1
if (burst < 3)
timer.Simple( .1, self.PrimaryAttack, self )
end
if (burst >= 3) then
burst = 0
end
end

[/lua]

it says that there is an unexpected symbol near timer.Simple.

[editline]10:50AM[/editline]

actually it says then expected near lua:112

he just forgot a "then" in the first if

Ok. Is there a way to make the space in between bursts longer? Changing the delay doesn't really do anything. And if I increase the .1, it'll make the bursts take longer to finish, but won't make it so that the time in between the bursts change.

Undocumented functions, but might be what you want.

It does make npcs fire in bursts of two, but no matter how I change the delay variable, the rate of fire (not the time inbetween bursts) is super slow.

thats what I have so far. Any suggestions on how to change how quickly the bursts are finished? should I incorporate the burst code in one of the above posts?
