IronSights?

[Mr.Pilot]

Hey guys,

Yes...I have a SWEP question...I know I know, don't go all crazy. But, I just need help with this one tiny thing. I've been trying to add ironsights to something, but it just does not work. I use:

SWEP.IronSightsPos = Vector(0, 0, 0)
SWEP.IronSightsAng = Vector(0, 0, 0)

But, nope. Does not work. Any ideas guys?

they dont do anything on a standard swep, you need to utilize them on your own.

the client side of a swep has a function called GetViewModelPosition(pos, ang)

return the position and angle you want the view model to be at

[lua]local IRONSIGHT_TIME = 0.25

/*---------------------------------------------------------
Name: GetViewModelPosition
Desc: Allows you to re-position the view model
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function SWEP:GetViewModelPosition( pos, ang )

if ( !self.IronSightsPos ) then return pos, ang end

local bIron = self.Weapon:GetNetworkedBool( "Ironsights" )

if ( bIron != self.bLastIron ) then

self.bLastIron = bIron
self.fIronTime = CurTime()

if ( bIron ) then
self.SwayScale = 0.3
self.BobScale = 0.1
else
self.SwayScale = 1.0
self.BobScale = 1.0
end

end

local fIronTime = self.fIronTime or 0

if ( !bIron && fIronTime < CurTime() - IRONSIGHT_TIME ) then
return pos, ang
end

local Mul = 1.0

if ( fIronTime > CurTime() - IRONSIGHT_TIME ) then

Mul = math.Clamp( (CurTime() - fIronTime) / IRONSIGHT_TIME, 0, 1 )

if (!bIron) then Mul = 1 - Mul end

end

local Offset = self.IronSightsPos

if ( self.IronSightsAng ) then

ang = ang * 1
ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Right(), self.IronSightsAng.x * Mul )
ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Up(), self.IronSightsAng.y * Mul )
ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Forward(), self.IronSightsAng.z * Mul )

end

local Right = ang:Right()
local Up = ang:Up()
local Forward = ang:Forward()

pos = pos + Offset.x * Right * Mul
pos = pos + Offset.y * Forward * Mul
pos = pos + Offset.z * Up * Mul

return pos, ang

end

/*---------------------------------------------------------
SetIronsights
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function SWEP:SetIronsights( b )

self.Weapon:SetNetworkedBool( "Ironsights", b )

end

SWEP.NextSecondaryAttack = 0
/*---------------------------------------------------------
SecondaryAttack
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()

if ( !self.IronSightsPos ) then return end
if ( self.NextSecondaryAttack > CurTime() ) then return end

bIronsights = !self.Weapon:GetNetworkedBool( "Ironsights", false )

self:SetIronsights( bIronsights )

self.NextSecondaryAttack = CurTime() + 0.3

end[/lua]

I think this is the simplest one out there. Straight from Gmod 12 CS:S sweps.

[Mr.Pilot]

Hm alright I'll try both of these. The only thing that I think may happen is. If I make a secondary attack the ironsights. I'm wondering if it will later not let me use the primary fire.

[Nopari]

It doesn't affect PrimaryAttack function in any way.

[Mr.Pilot]

Sorry for being a pain. But, it still doesn't work.

[Nopari]

Copypaste the code here or PM it to me.
