utilise animation activities

[Deadalus3010]

Hello there,

im kinda new to models and animations, so keep that in mind.

I made a swep and the most of it does work, except for these two animations:

ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK_EMPTY
ACT_VM_RELOAD

This reload animation does work.

ACT_VM_RELOAD_EMPTY

Its only a small problem, but it just feels wrong when you have a bullet inside the gun barrel and he still pulls the slide back.
Or when the slide doesnt stop when no more bullets are left in the mag.

Thanks for reading this,

All of this depends on the viewmodel you're using. Can you link to the model?

This is an updated version of my old one (the old one is one steam, this update isnt currently, I want to get rid of the bug first)

Thanks for the answer,

Using this code I was able to get the activity enum list:

] lua_Run local pWep = Entity(1):GetActiveWeapon() for i = 0, pWep:GetSequenceCount() - 1 do print(pWep:GetSequenceActivityName(i)) end
> local pWep = Entity(1):GetActiveWeapon() for i = 0, pWep:GetSequenceCount() - 1 do print(pWep:GetSequenceActivityName(i)) end...
ACT_VM_IDLE
ACT_VM_DRAW
ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK
ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK
ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK
ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK_EMPTY
ACT_VM_RELOAD
ACT_VM_RELOAD_EMPTY

I manually played each activity and they all seem to work correctly. The code included with the zip doesn't even seem to utilise ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK_EMPTY or ACT_VM_RELOAD_EMPTY.

function SWEP()
	if ( self.Weapon:Clip1() <= 1 ) then
		if ( self:Ammo1() <= 0 ) then return end
			self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK_EMPTY )
	end
		else
	if ( self.Weapon:Clip1() >= 1 ) then
		if ( self:Ammo1() <= 0 ) then return end
		self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_RELOAD_EMPTY )
	end
end

I forgot to include this code.
This was an early and never continued attempt to utilise them.
Buuut it didnt work and im not that advanced in lua, so I didnt knew how to do it elsewise.

Where are you calling this code? You also need a method name, it can't just be SWEP.

Wow, I really think im retarded, but I got it now.

Primary Attack Empty:

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()		
	if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end		
	local bullet = {}
		bullet.Num = self.Primary.NumShots				
		bullet.Src = self.Owner:GetShootPos()			
		bullet.Dir = self.Owner:GetAimVector()			
		bullet.Spread = Vector( self.Primary.Cone / 90, self.Primary.Cone / 90, 0 )
		bullet.Spread = Vector( self.Primary.Spread * 0.1 , self.Primary.Spread * 0.1, 0)
		bullet.Tracer = self.Primary.Tracer				
		bullet.Force = self.Primary.Force				
		bullet.Damage = self.Primary.Damage				
		bullet.AmmoType = self.Primary.Ammo				
		self.Owner:FireBullets( bullet )				
	self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK )	
	self.Owner:MuzzleFlash()							
	self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 )			
	self.Weapon:EmitSound(Sound(self.Primary.Sound))
	self.Owner:ViewPunch(Angle( -self.Primary.Recoil, 0.5, 1 ))
	if (self.Primary.TakeAmmoPerBullet) then			
		self:TakePrimaryAmmo(self.Primary.NumShots)
	else
		self:TakePrimaryAmmo(1)
	end
	self:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Delay )
	--------------------------------
	--shoot_last animation trigger--
	if self.Weapon:Clip1() == 0 then
		self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK_EMPTY )
	end
	--------------------------------
end

Reload Empty

function SWEP:Reload()
	self:SetIronsights( false )
	if self.ReloadingTime and CurTime() <= self.ReloadingTime then return end
	if ( self:Clip1() < self.Primary.ClipSize and self.Owner:GetAmmoCount( self.Primary.Ammo ) > 0 ) then
		self:DefaultReload( ACT_VM_RELOAD )
                local AnimationTime = self.Owner:GetViewModel():SequenceDuration()
                self.ReloadingTime = CurTime() + AnimationTime
                self:SetNextPrimaryFire(CurTime() + AnimationTime)
                self:SetNextSecondaryFire(CurTime() + AnimationTime)
	end
	----------------------------------
	--reload_empty animation trigger--
	if self.Weapon:Clip1() == 0 then
		self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_RELOAD_EMPTY )
	end
	----------------------------------
end

This works perfectly, but thank, I dont know why but you gave me the idea.

Just to note, you don't have to use self.Weapon. It'll work fine with just self.
