hello, I am currently trying to create a replica of the m93 raffica from MW2, and need help on the 3-round burst part.
I’m fairly new to coding, and I’ve been on the idea for how to make the tri-burst for more than 2 hours.
And I cant seem to think of how to create this; Can someone help out?
You would have to use a Think hook to refire the weapon like this (untested):
SWEP.Primary.Cooldown = 0.1 -- How much time until the next burst round can be fired
SWEP.BurstInterval = 0.1 -- Time between each burst shot
SWEP.BurstCount = 2 -- How many burst shots to fire
function SWEP:SetupDataTables()
self:NetworkVar("Bool", 0, "DoBurst")
self:NetworkVar("Float", 0, "NextBurstFire")
self:NetworkVar("Int", 0, "BurstCount")
end
function SWEP:Shoot()
-- Shoot stuff here
end
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if (self:GetDoBurst()) then
return
end
self:Shoot()
self:SetDoBurst(true)
self:SetNextBurstFire(CurTime() + self.BurstInterval)
self:SetBurstCount(0)
end
function SWEP:Think()
if (self:GetDoBurst()) then
local flCurTime = CurTime()
if (self:GetNextBurstFire() <= flCurTime) then
self:Shoot()
local iNewBurstCount = self:GetBurstCount() + 1
if (iNewBurstCount == self.BurstCount) then
self:SetDoBurst(false)
self:SetNextPrimaryFire(flCurTime + self.Primary.Cooldown)
else
self:SetNextBurstFire(flCurTime + self.BurstInterval)
self:SetBurstCount(iNewBurstCount)
end
end
end
end
thank you for the reply, I’ll try to incorporate this into the code and work with it, I’ll give feedback after I’ve added and tested it
SWEP.Primary.Cooldown = 0.1
SWEP.BurstInterval = 0.1
SWEP.BurstCount = 2
function SWEP:SetupDataTables()
self:NetworkVar("Bool", 0, "DoBurst")
self:NetworkVar("Float", 0, "NextBurstFire")
self:NetworkVar("Int", 0, "BurstCount")
end
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
self:SetClip1(math.Clamp(self:Clip1() - 1, 0, 21))
self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/m93Shoot.wav")
if (self:GetDoBurst()) then
return
end
local bullet = {}
bullet.Num = 1
bullet.Src = self.Owner:GetShootPos()
bullet.Dir = self.Owner:GetAimVector()
bullet.Spread = 0.225
bullet.Tracer = 1
bullet.Damage = self.Primary.Damage
bullet.Force = 15
bullet.AmmoType = "Pistol"
self.Owner:FireBullets( bullet )
self:SetDoBurst(true)
self:SetNextBurstFire(CurTime() + self.BurstInterval)
self:SetBurstCount(0)
end
function SWEP:Think()
if (self:GetDoBurst()) then
local flCurTime = CurTime()
if (self:GetNextBurstFire() <= flCurTime) then
self:PrimaryAttack()
local iNewBurstCount = self:GetBurstCount() + 1
if (iNewBurstCount == self.BurstCount) then
self:SetDoBurst(false)
self:SetNextPrimaryFire(flCurTime + self.Primary.Cooldown)
else
self:SetNextBurstFire(flCurTime + self.BurstInterval)
self:SetBurstCount(iNewBurstCount)
end
end
end
end
function SWEP:SecondaryAttack() return end
thats the current added on code, however, it makes the noise for shooting 3 shots, but only fires 1.
it also aims down sights for some reason
also, you can infinitely shoot, and you will never lose ammo. your clip will die down until it hits 0, then it will continue to fire if you try to primary attack, it wont make you reload or even take from stock ammo.
You have quite a few issues: I created Shoot and PrimaryAttack as separate methods for the burst to work properly, which you erased, thus the burst can never be called. Also, you have your SetClip and EmitSound calls above the GetDoBurst check, anyway, which is why it “shoots” infinitely. You are also never doing any initial checks for ammo in PrimaryAttack. Lastly, don’t use self.Weapon, and use self:GetOwner() instead of self.Owner.

Also, your SecondaryAttack doesn’t need to have a return. It’s an empty method.
Ok, looking through other code, I found code and managed to get it to work,
the sound technically doesnt work, but i used a tri-burst sound effect so it would sync up, anyways, the gun works, code works great!
was having a bit of trouble, but worked it out
ty for trying to help.
for anyone who might need the code and finds this thread, the code i used was
SWEP.FireMode = 0
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end
if ( self:Clip1() < 3 && self:Ammo1() > 0 && self.FireMode == 1 ) then
self:Reload()
return
end
if (self.FireMode == 1 || self:Clip1() < 3 ) then
self:ShootBullet( 42, 1, 0.055 )
self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.1 )
self.Owner:EmitSound("weapons/raffv2.wav")
self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )
else
self:ShootBullet( 42, 1, 0.015 )
timer.Create("FireBurstShot1" .. tostring(self.Owner),0.08,1, function() BurstFire(self,42,1,0.02) end)
timer.Create("FireBurstShot2" .. tostring(self.Owner),0.16,1, function() BurstFire(self,42,1,0.01) end)
self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.51 )
self.Owner:EmitSound("weapons/daytri.wav")
self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )
end
end
function BurstFire( self, damage, number, accuracy)
if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end
self:ShootBullet( damage, number, accuracy )
self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )
end
function SWEP:SecondaryAttack() return end
you will have to make the shootsound for where it says daytri a sound that is a tripple burst itself, idk if you can change it, but its default is a tripple burst
raffv2 is a single shot sound for if the guns clip1 falls below 3 aka the tripple burst ammo take.
anyways, just sync up your custom gunshot with the bullet shots and you’ll have your base tri-burst system 
Do not use timers for burst fire! It ruins prediction.
well fuck, everything works, why not use this one?
sigh, guess i took the easy way, i’ll see if it pays off, or if i’ll need to rework the code entirely, and if i do, i might come crawling back here.
