White ball-shooting gun.

[Uzalon]

I would like to hear if anyone could provide me with a swep that shoots small white balls that disappears after a few seconds (so it doesn't cause lag).

I need it for my simple gamemode where I will try to emulate airsoft weapons. :)

There will be full credit for the weapon and base to the person who is able to complete the request. :)

Hey i have made a rough weapon for what you wanted, some information on how you can change the code where you download it.

In the zip there is air_ball which is the Entity file and weapon_whiteball the weapon file

Say what you think or if you want me to try and improve it

[Uzalon]

That was exactly what I needed! Thank you! :D
You will be credited! :)

But is there anyway to make the ball give damage based on the weapon?
Like a pistol would be 25 damage, rifle 35 etc?

And is there a way to just drop on the ground when it hits something instead of doing too much richochet?

[WhiTAkeR]

Change the code in the ent file to this

[lua]function ENT:Initialize()
self.Entity:SetModel ("models/dav0r/hoverball.mdl")
self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)

self.PhysObj=self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
if(self.PhysObj:IsValid()) then
self.PhysObj:EnableGravity(true)
self.PhysObj:SetMass(1)
self.PhysObj:Wake()
end
self.life = 0
self.Addone = 0
end

function ENT:PhysicsCollide(data,physobj)

local vel = data.OurOldVelocity
local norm = data.HitNormal
local ang = vel:Angle()
ang:RotateAroundAxis(norm, 180)
local newvel = ang:Forward()*-0.5*vel:Length()
physobj:SetVelocity(newvel)
end

function ENT:Think()

if (CurTime() >= self.Addone) then
self.life = self.life + 1
Addone = CurTime() + 1
end

if self.life > 70 then
self.Entity:Remove()
end

end[/lua]

Make the bounce less and makes teh ball seem more "airy"

Thanks WhiTAkeR, it's perfect! :D

Does it also include damage set from weapon?

[WhiTAkeR]

im kinda working on that now not sure if its going to be dependant on the model fired from because im not sure if you can do that, but once i get the ball doing a set amount of damage you will be able to change the data and save seperate Ents for seperate guns and use them.

[Uzalon]

Oh I think you misunderstood.
What I was saying was that if I script a swep and make it fire these balls. Can I then say that the swep when shooting gives 35 damage and then the ball will give 35 damage when hitting someone.

[WhiTAkeR]

Here is the ent doing damage jus replace all the code

[lua]AddCSLuaFile ("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile ("shared.lua")
include ("shared.lua")

function ENT:Initialize()
self.Entity:SetModel ("models/dav0r/hoverball.mdl")
local r = 1.5
self.Entity:PhysicsInitSphere(r)
self.Entity:SetCollisionBounds(Vector(-r,-r,-r),Vector(r,r,r))
self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)

self.PhysObj=self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
if(self.PhysObj:IsValid()) then
self.PhysObj:EnableGravity(true)
self.PhysObj:SetMass(1)
self.PhysObj:Wake()
end
self.life = 0
self.Addone = 0
end

function ENT:StartTouch(targ)

if targ~=self.Target then
if (targ:IsValid() and targ:IsPlayer() or targ:IsNPC()) then
targ:TakeDamage(10,self.Target)
end
end
end

function ENT:Think()

if (CurTime() >= self.Addone) then
self.life = self.life + 1
Addone = CurTime() + 1
end

if self.life > 70 then
self.Entity:Remove()
end

end[/lua]

Change the number in here [lua]targ:TakeDamage(10,self.Target)[/lua] for more or less damage depending on what you want,

And not sure on how you would do what you said ^^

[Uzalon]

Works perfectly! :D
Thanks WhiTaKeR, It really helped me a lot :)
