New secondary attack is invisible

[rotacak]

Hi, I added secondary attack to pulse rifle and when I shoot I saw no bullets and hear no sound. But bullets are really there, I can destroy structures etc. with invisible bullets.

If I will change in g_active.c this:

Code Select Expand

      case EV_FIRE_WEAPON:
        FireWeapon( ent );
        break;

      case EV_FIRE_WEAPON2:
        FireWeapon2( ent );
        break;

to this:

Code Select Expand

      case EV_FIRE_WEAPON:
        FireWeapon( ent );
        break;

      case EV_FIRE_WEAPON2:
        FireWeapon( ent );
        break;

then first and second attack should be same, but second is invisible and without sound. Why?

The "special effects" are generated on the client side, and the client checks the weaponMode, which is still WPM_SECONDARY even if you call FireWeapon() instead of FireWeapon2().

I think a working dirty fix is to add "m->s.generic1 = WPM_PRIMARY;" at the end of pulseRifleFire().

The proper way would be to alter the weapon.cfg of the pulse rifle, but ofc this requires a pk3 download.

Thanx alot. That hack works, bullets are visible, but sound still missing. When I changed weapon.cfg all is ok. Once again, thanx!
