devenger , my guns work for you right?

[QUOTE=Blynx6]I've changed the model, but it stays as the default gun. If I click test animation 1 it flashes on left for a second.[/QUOTE]

Same thing with me (both parts).

I do not own DoD:S, unfortunately, though I downlaoded it anyway it a 'thought-that-counts' gambit.

I only know this works in singleplayer, in fact I think it likely it will NOT work in a listen server, so that might be your problem. Otherwise, the animations are always a little buggy (there is a reason for this, relating to how lazy I am), and if the model does not change you might try changing to a different weapon in your inventory then changing back.

I'll just change the models the old way I guess.

Why isn't people giving this guy more LUA Kings? I love this, and it's helped put Iron Sights in the right positions with Custom Models.

i don't know actually , this is a great tool and it made me mess with scripts for the first time !

[Fijgum]

How do I start that? I'm a little confused :(
Maybe I'm making something wrong :uhoh:

[firepower01]

Finally ironsights for my crowbar!

[Sechs]

Dude, this just saved me so much time.

I think this is the most useful release (for devs at least) i've seen yet.

[Blynx6]

Thanks for this wonderful utility, it saved me a great amount of time.
[b]THIS ONLY WORKS IN SINGLEPLAYER[/b]

[totster15]

Very nice work, Devenger :D

[ChEaTwIzArD]

An ironsight for the HL2 smg would be nice.

[Fijgum]

I wanted to do that but I had no idea where I could find the model :(

[QUOTE=Devenger]The utility loads weapon view models, not SWEPs. In the menu on the left side of screen (that looks like an extension of tool HUD), click on the 'Model: ...' and it will turn into a textbox. Edit the contents (e.g. replace 'p228' with 'deagle') and click 'Set'. The weapon model will change accordingly.[/QUOTE]

I'm think i understand what you saying, but say i download a nother persons Sweps, and the iron sights are a little off i can't edit them?

These are the Sweps i wanted to edit

[Polerstrike]

alright I need help, I know how to bring up seperate models and properly align and all that, but I do not know how to make it permenant, I read in your post, but I still don't get it please give me some easy step by step directions.

Instructions of how to use Ironsights Designer:

[b]This guide does not cover any of the more advanced features of the utility, but outlines the bare neccessities for making ironsights for an existing or custom weapon view model.[/b]

[b]Step -1:[/b] Download it, and extract the .zip to garrysmod/garrysmod/addons.

[b]Step 0:[/b] Restart GMod if it's already running. Start up a singleplayer game running the default, Sandbox gamemode and spawn the Ironsights Designer weapon (in your 'Q' menu's Weapons tab).

[b]Step 1:[/b] Hopefully you'll have an interesting model to play with. For the purposes of this example, I'm going to make ironsights for the stock AK47 model from CS:S. To change the weapon model you are positioning, hit the Sprint key to activate the mouse, then click "Model: models/weapons/..." in the menu. A TextEntry will replace the static model path display: enter your wanted model's filepath and click 'Set'. The weapon model on your screen should change immediately if the model can be found.

[b]Step 2:[/b] You should now have your model in front of you. Hold down left-click and move the mouse to drag the weapon model around. The starting mode controls the X/Z position of the model relative to the player - effectively up, down, left and right. Press right-click to cycle through the four available modes: Pos Y allows you to pull or push the model back and forth from the player's view, Ang Pitch/Yaw allows you to change what direction the weapon is pointing in (good for fixing sights not aligning directly with the crosshair when the sights are lined up with each other), and Ang Roll allows you to 'roll' the weapon model left and right (good for making players hold a weapon 'gangster style'). Try and get the sights to line up with each other, or a suitable comprimise - ignore the crosshair for now.

[b]Step 3:[/b] You will ultimately want to align the sights with the crosshair, so players can see what they will be hitting. Use Ang Pitch/Yaw to change the orientation of the weapon until the sights are as perfectly on the crosshair as you can manage (in the picture I'm using the HEV Suit Zoom for extra precision).

[url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/step3.jpg][img]http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/th_step3.jpg[/img][/url]

[b]Step 4: [/b]Activate your mouse again with the Sprint key and click 'Print ironsight functions to console' (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot).

[url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/step4.jpg][img]http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/th_step4.jpg[/img][/url]

[b]Step 5:[/b] Open your console (default the tilde (`) key: you may need to activate access to it by pressing Esc to bring up the main menu, then selecting Options -> Controls, clicking 'Advanced', and ticking 'Enable developer console'). You should see most recently printed two Lua functions similar to those in the picture: copy them to your clipboard (highlight and Ctrl-C).

[url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/step5.jpg][img]http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/th_step5.jpg[/img][/url]

[b]The next two steps are only relevant to making weapons that are derivative of weapon_cs_base ('Counter-Strike' type weapons). Seek help elsewhere to learn how to make more advanced weaponry.[/b]

[b]Step 6:[/b] Paste your copied ironsight functions into the weapon you are developing ironsights for. If you do not have a weapon file yet, visit [url]http://code.garrysmod.com/?into=garrysmod/addons/counter-strike/lua/weapons/[/url] , pick the weapon most like the weapon you are trying to make, copy the contents of that weapon file into your own weapon file (e.g. 'garrysmod/garrysmod/lua/weapons/weapon_ID_ak47/shared.lua' - make folders if they do not exist), and modify the numbers and model paths if they need changing. Paste them at the bottom of the file, or paste them over any existing ironsight functions.

[url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/step6.jpg][img]http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b35/Devenger/th_step6.jpg[/img][/url]

[b]Step 7:[/b] Last step! Make sure you've saved your weapon file and change/reload the map. If your weapon is working, it will be available in the Weapons tab of your Q menu. Right-click to toggle on your ironisghts, and give them a test run. If you've put the weapon too near the camera and the weapon model is clipping the player's view, consider manually increasing the Y position - the second value in SWEP.IronsightsPos - by 1 point and re-testing (repeat as many times as is neccessary).

[OneManArmy]

Outstanding!

[Craftman]

Great job, this is really useful!

[Halo-Slayer]

Hmm... This might well help with my Annabelle Swep. I need to get perfect Iron Sights

[Double D]

This is a great utility, but i need some help.
I know how to import a model, and how to change the view, but how can you really use it?
What do i have to do to get it to work in the current game(i don't want it save the ironsight for ever, but i just want to immediately use it)
I know about the tutorial posted above me, but that is to save it for ever, i just want to use it in the current game(atleast if this is possible)

[B]EDIT:[/b]

nevermind, it just doesn't seem to work with normal hl2 guns for me

[Devenger]

[QUOTE=double D]it just doesn't seem to work with normal hl2 guns for me[/QUOTE]

This will never work for the default HL2 weapons. They are entirely beyond Lua's influence.

Didn't know that, my bad :)

[nero2323]

[QUOTE=Halo-Slayer]Hmm... This might well help with my Annabelle Swep. I need to get perfect Iron Sights[/QUOTE]

Whoa, that's weird, I was going to use this to help try to code my own Annabelle SWEP. Incredible coincidence.

I'd like to see someone make an Annabelle SWEP with ironsights and all the works. It'll most likely be better than mine. (I have little experience and no releases.)

THIS UTILITY IS "GRAIT" (If you saw the post's first page, you can get the joke.) Just plain great! Thank you for making this, Devenger!

[stealthpaw]

People just arnt giving this guy enough credit!
Think how much time this will save us all!
THANKYOU!!!!

Have a lua king, and a cookie

[Kudomiku]

Nice script Devenger, you're definatly much better since I last checked.

[Morbo!!!]

Is it possible to change the coordinates of the weapon when not using ironsights?

[empa]

Can you use this for other mods that's not for gmod.

Like if i make my own mod can i use this to fix the ironsight?

Awesome tool though :D

[Ffffrawr]

Great, but I seem to have trouble with weapons ending up left-handed, model flip isn't helping either.
