I want to make a version of blink that uses Local Ammo but can't figer out what flags I need to get it to work.
if any one has tryed this before a quick how to or it can't be done would be nice.

here is the stock.

try this:

[WeaponClass]
classLabel = "blink"
ordName = NULL
wpnName = "Blink"
fireSound = "blink01.wav"
wpnReticle = "gblink.0"
wpnCategory = "SPEC"
wpnPriority = 3 // Added by Red Devil from PB2 team.
aiRange = 50 // Added by Red Devil from PB2 team.

isAssault = 0

localAmmo = 1 // Added by Red Devil from PB2 team

//addLocalAmmo = 0.005 // Added and changed to 0.005 by Red Devil from PB4 team.
addLocalAmmo = 0.008 // Added and changed to 0.005 by Red Devil from PB4 team.
// This setting recharges local ammo about 2 units of local ammo per second recharge rate == 1 meter per second recharge rate
// depending upon the following settings.

[BlinkDeviceClass]
ammoBase = 0.001 // was 300, was 200 in stock. Changed to 0.001 by Red Devil from PB2 team. This setting determines the amount
// of local ammo in the local ammo bar. 0.001 == 1000 units.

ammoDist = 0.002 // was 20, was 1.0 in stock. Changed to 0.002 by Red Devil from PB2 team. This setting determines the amount
// of local ammo used for one meter of jump. 0.002 == 2 units of local ammo per meter of jump.

//shotDelay = 5.0 // Delay after firing before it can trigger again, in seconds.
shotDelay = 4.0 // Delay after firing before it can trigger again, in seconds.

groundSprite = "splash.0"
xplEnter = "xblinkin66"
xplExit = "xblinkout66"

thank you for your help RD but
some things still wrong I can't get it to fire.
heres the my test settings. I am trying for a 1 shot long jump.

Well, for one thing, unless your jumping exactly 0 meters, then you won't have enough ammo to pull off the blink using your settings, because of the ammoDist cost (ammoDist is the extra cost of ammo per meter of travel distance). Lower ammoDist to exactly 0 if you want it to work -- or play around with the ammo settings until the blink doesnt cost more ammo than you have.

If you want it so that it can long jump but can't blink within 100m of its current location, you could try something like this

Code: Select all

localAmmo = 100

[BlinkDeviceClass]
AmmoBase = 100.1 // was 100
AmmoDist = -0.001 // was 10 

that makes a broken gun [it needs no ammo]

I finaly got some thing that works .

Did you actually try it?

BaseCost, is the cost of the blink no matter how far you blink.
DistCost, is the added ammo cost per meter distance to blink.

In other words, to make it cost no ammo, you would have to blink 1,000,000 meters.

That said, your current ODF looks fine.

yes I tryed it and not only can you jump any where it dose not need ammo after the first shot the ammo gos to 0 but it still lets you jump.

my odf works its a one shot but can jump any where you can see.

so any one think they know what I made this for?
heres a hint.
geometryName = "sgsatc00.xsi"
geometryScale = 0.12

you can make a combination of small, medium and large jumps until your local ammo goes to zero. you need to wait while the local ammo slowly recharges once it gets to zero.

So you're making blinking satchelcharges?
