Defining T_Attack for new weapons (SDL)

Hello again.

I'm searching for help if there is some easy way how to define the missile launcher and other new weapons with extra ammo in the T_Attack function in WL_AGENT.C.

I did added the weapon and its ammo type using these tutorials: New weapon (archive.org) and New ammo (archive.org) by Paal Olstad. (I did not any changed CheckWeaponChange as I did it easier way. I also corrected the GiveWeapon part little bit with help from another member, as the original code was preventing other weapons giving me ammo when picking them up).

However, in this tutorial, there is no mention about changing T_Attack. I was looking on this thread at DHW, however, I still didn't figured it out.

Thanks.

It's not mentioned in the tutorial since the missile attack is included in the GunAttack which is used by every gun through T_Attack. I'm not sure if i get your exact problem or if you just want something easier on the eyes. In case you could just do a new case in T_Attack:

Code:

           case 5:
                if (gamestate.missile <= 0)
                {      
                    ob->state = &s_player;
                    gamestate.weapon = wp_knife;
                    DrawWeapon ();
                    gamestate.attackframe = gamestate.weaponframe = 0;
                    break;
                }

                MissileAttack (ob);
                gamestate.missiles--;
                DrawMissile ();
                break;

Since it seems to work so flawlessly you might want to include this "case 5" in the actual weapon by placing a 5 in one of the frames, somwhere at the top in wl_agent.c:

Code:

{ {6,0,1},{6,5,2},{6,0,3},{6,-1,4} },

So you won't need GunAttack because it's in "case 1".
{6,5,2}
The first number (6) is the time, the second number (5) is the T_Attack case and the last number (2) is the frame. If you ask for such type of help try to be precise about your code, steps or possible questions. 4 could be 2+2 or 5-1 or 100/25 or maybe 4 isn't even the problem.

Looks like ToMi is now getting such expert advice from Tricob on DHW that he forgot about this place. 

Is ToMi short for ToMeanToDie? If so, he might enjoy this thread there too:

Nope, "ToMi" stands for Tom (my real name).

But I see it's quite similar tho. Hope it'll won't cause confusion.
