Some questions for my singleplayer mod...

I put your code just before the axe code, it compiled nicely (I think), I started quake, tried to go to the start map, but I got this instead:

Man, this laser axe stuff is more complicated than it should.

That I dont know anything about I'm afraid.

What that error means is that you modified the defs.qc file. :O

Anytime you add your own variables, it's best to add them at the BOTTOM of defs.qc or make a complete new file, ie defs2.qc (and add it in progs.src below defs.qc)...

ok lemme look at your code (wow that dl was 10mbs!)
ill try to fix the axe/rail the way u want all charged up maybe a finer incremental increase like +1 faster once hit the next attack comes 0.5 seconds later?

find this in weapons.qc
void LightningDamage (self.origin, trace_endpos + v_forward*4, self, 40);

and delete it.

then in player.qc all the w_firerails change back to w_fireaxe and u can recompile where u last left off.

ill post a fix to the axe/laser to include your charge code.

Just as a little reminder, I don't want it to be a continuous laser, but a one-shot laser like the railgun. And I use the lightning bolt as a placeholder until I do a flat model to materialize the laser (since I don't think darkplaces includes a transparent flat laser model).

right,
but if u hold the fire button down to increase the range its firing at each increment in range. Do u just want it to build up to max distance then "discharge"?

oof the reason u have constANT firing of the axe is u added w_fireaxe in playerprethink !

[Daya]

If the player releases the firebutton during the charge, the laser will be shot given the charge's value during release.

If possible, I'd like for the charge to hold when it reaches its maximum value (something a bit below the original lightning bolt's maximum range). If not, the laser must be fired when i reaches its maximum value.

Bumping this thread (hoping I'm not getting warnings for this...) because I decided to continue doing my singleplayer mod (Also this thread should be moved to another location, like "Programming Help").

Anyway, I'm still looking for a way to make my charge weapon a thing : For reminder, it replaces the axe: under a short value of charge when releasing the fire button, the code executes the W_FireAxe code. Above said value, a Q3 Railgun-like laser will be shot, but not an hitscan one (aside from the fact it's instantaneous [i can use the lightning model as a placeholder]) as its length depends from the charge value at the time the firebutton has been released.

I'm also still looking for a way to "port" Team Fortress' . I have the sourcecode of , but looking at HEAVY.qc , I can't understand it.
