tfpPawn check the StopAltFire function and ToggleIronSights

I checked tfpawn and couldn't find any funcitons like that ! . however i came acroos this "AdjustToWeaponSight" but still didn't find the "StopAltFire", also one more question @slowJusko i saw another tutorial done by you where u added eye sockets and all that ! do i have to do that in order for this ADS to work ?

[alvarofer0021]

Sorry my bad its StopFire() There you can check ToggleAim() and for the ADS to work you only need an socket called SightSocket in your weapon also for the true fps view to work you need the eyes socket too

[Confusion]

nice pack

how to remove from the script that way: they are near an object leaves the gun down and can not shoot ..

ohk so here is what i did.. i opened UDK and added a new socket for the link gun and named it "GunAimAdjustNode" and below is the code in my pawn class.. when I compile , I get an error message " Error, Bad or missing Expression in if "

class AwesomePawn extends UTPawn;

var bool bWeaponAiming;
var float fDelayStartFire;
var bool bWantsToFire;
var float fChangeAimTime;
var SkelControlSingleBone GunAimAdjustNode;

simulated function StopFire(byte FireModeNum)
{
	if (FireModeNum != 1)
		bWantsToFire = false;

	if (fDelayStartFire > WorldInfo.TimeSeconds)
		return;

	// toggle aim on release, if we weren't holding it down (which is something else again)
	if ((Weapon != None) && (FireModeNum == 1) && !bNoWeaponFiring)
	{
		 //if we're a client, synchronize server
		if (Role < Role_Authority)
			ServerToggleAim();
		ToggleAim();
		return;
	}
	
	Super.StopFire(FireModeNum);
}
reliable server function ServerToggleAim()
{
	ToggleAim();
}
simulated function ToggleAim()
{
	if (GunAimAdjustNode == None)
		return;

	if (bIsSprinting)
	{
		if (bWeaponAiming)
			fChangeAimTime = WorldInfo.TimeSeconds + TimeToChangeAim;
		bWeaponAiming = false;
	}
	else
	{
		fChangeAimTime = WorldInfo.TimeSeconds + TimeToChangeAim;
		bWeaponAiming = !bWeaponAiming;
	}
	
	//bIsWalking = bWeaponAiming;
	GunAimAdjustNode.BoneTranslation = tfpWeapon(Weapon).aimOffset;

	// aiming, blend in...
	if (bWeaponAiming)
	{
		//GunAimAdjustNode.SetSkelControlActive(true);
		GunAimAdjustNode.SetSkelControlStrength(1.0f, TimeToChangeAim);
		HeadAimAdjustNode.SetSkelControlStrength(1.0f, TimeToChangeAim);
	}
	// not aiming, blend out...
	else
	{
		GunAimAdjustNode.SetSkelControlStrength(0.0f, TimeToChangeAim);
		HeadAimAdjustNode.SetSkelControlStrength(0.0f, TimeToChangeAim);
	
	}
}

You are not supposed to add a new socket what i meant is OPEN your skeletal mesh weapon in the UDK Editor and CREATE the socket there

if you really wanna change the name of the socket that is used in the code(so your weapon socket name can be diferent) find every reference to the SightSocket and rename it to your own

[cyberbemon]

You are not supposed to add a new socket what i meant is OPEN your skeletal mesh weapon in the UDK Editor and CREATE the socket there

That is exactly what I did , I opened the skeletal mesh and added a new socket. When asked for a name , I named it "GunAimAdjustNode".



I found a variable

var SkelControlSingleBone GunAimAdjustNode;;

in the original code and so i decided to give that name to the socket. i didn't change anything at all , there is also a second variable named

var SkelControlSingleBone HeadAimAdjustNode;

I'm not sure which one is supposed to be the socket name. I just copy pasted the two functions and the variables from the original code... and changed this line

GunAimAdjustNode.BoneTranslation = tfpWeapon(Weapon).aimOffset;

to

GunAimAdjustNode.BoneTranslation = UTWeapon(Weapon).aimOffset;

.

[alvarofer0021]

....GunAimAdjustNode is a NODE For animtrees why are you even using that


You just need to create a new socket NAMED SIGHTSOCKET and thats it and if your using this you shouldnt change the script reference from tfpWeapon to UTWeapon since TFPWeapon its exactly the same as UTWeapon except it only has the checks and functions for attachments/third person version of the weapon

[cyberbemon]

....GunAimAdjustNode is a NODE For animtrees why are you even using that
You just need to create a new socket NAMED SIGHTSOCKET

oh god this is embarrassing .. but isn't that how u add sockets ? (using the socket manager) .. or is there another way ?

sorry , but i'm still learning

[alvarofer0021]

yes you do use the SocketManager for creating sockets but im telling you that the GunAimAdjustedNode is not the socket name you need to use its a node that its used in the character animtree

Now you only need a socket Named SightSocket and thats all that you need for the iron sight to work

[Ray Jones 312]

How would one get hitzones to work? I noticed headshots no longer work with this.

[zen-tex]

wheres the cross hairs on hip firing mode

[Machinima]

Update in the works, based on October 11 version of UDK.

@slowJusko, where is the update available for download? Is it compatible with December 2011 version of UDK? Thanks.

[slowJusko]

Shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I've got it on the Feb 2012 base at the moment, albeit updated.

[iTG]

Hey,
I just installed your Source on my game, but when I try to start a game I can't press Enter or anything else to begin the match.
What did I do wrong?

[Machinima]

Shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I've got it on the Feb 2012 base at the moment, albeit updated.

@slowJusko, can you share a download link to your updated version?

I think your first post on this thread only listed a download link for your first release (September 2011). I'm having some problems which might be because of using your classes and thought if I had access to your updated version that might resolve the issues. Thanks.

[slowJusko]

Been busy being a dad & other real life things, but when I'm more happy with it, I'll upload it.

[Confusion]

Hello

And I have a problem ... someone help me with the camera (first person) to pawn ...

This picture is TFPGame near a wall ..

http://uploadimage.ro/images/68147584637678120701.png

This is UTGame near a wall:

http://uploadimage.ro/images/64661145320967736878.jpg




How can I make camera to see that UTGame TFPGame?


near a wall when I do not want the gun to pass through it

[MOTHERJAVA]

Hey. Wondering if anyone can help -

I downloaded the files and overwrote then in my udk install, complied scripts..in the editor I selected tfp game type, but when I play in the editor I see no differ

ence from ut deathmatch.. How do I properly implement this?

Thanks in advance!

[alvarofer0021]

Confusion: For default the latest tfp version makes it so when your gun touches a wall it will lower down so it wont go trough it

and for motherjava Would you mind posting an screenshot? the diference would be that you can use Iron sight on all the weapons and can see your whole body(and sprint)

[MOTHERJAVA]

thanks for the quick reply.. I'll post a screenshot as soon as I'm back at my computer.. what button is supposed to be bound to the iron sight. Right mouse doesn't work for me

[alvarofer0021]

then you probably installed it wrong since if your using an tfpWeapon sub class(tfpweap_linkgun etc) it should work

[MOTHERJAVA]

K thanks. What are the key bindings for sprint, iron sight etc?

[alvarofer0021]

sprint = left shift ,iron sight = right click

[slowJusko]

Ok, updated code base to March 2012.
Replication works, just working on syncing server/client animations and random elements.
Shots will fly off to the left, clients weapon will be pointing right.
Expected as much, already had ideas on how to compensate which I am working on now.

[slowJusko]

• Runs on March 2012 version of UDK.
• Fixed replication issues.
• Fixed swimming animations.
• Fixed being in vehicle.
• Added support for Seeing Machines FaceAPI.

The video above is a dedicated server with some bots and one client connected running on the same machine.
Needs clean up and more comments, but getting there.

[XXWeaponXX7]

Beautiful! and it appears that you tweaked their animations quite a bit, not just the camera! (or is it just the camera?)

[slowJusko]

Animation updates & tweaks, yes.
Camera changes, no, aside from FaceAPI support.
Been cleaning up and fixing annoyances, like with sprinting:

[ghoststrykr]

hmm. I installed it as directed by the readme, but when I run UDK Game, none of your changes seem to be in place. I am on the march udk.

[slowJusko]

Need to make sure you run one of the included game types - like tfpGame.
Otherwise it does not use the correct Pawn or Player Controller.

[Derp]

From what I can see with your video, you use a skeletal control to slightly raise the arm up to simulated sprinting?

I'm also implementing a sprinting mechanic and I'd like to know is it better to animate the sprinting or use a skeletal control (If that's what you did)?

[slowJusko]

The skeletal controller is 'good enough', but it would be better to animate it to get the exact look you want.
That is the case with most of the added skeletal controllers in the TFP demo - good enough for it.

[slowJusko]

New version up: 2012-04-18, based on UDK-2012-03.

• Full replication.
• FaceAPI support.
• Bug fixes.
• Stuff.

Might create a newer video later.
Any problems, questions, feel free to post.

Have a good one.

[alvarofer0021]

looks really nice i just gave it a try but whatever i Play an TopHalfAnimation or FullBodyAnimation and try to move backwards,right or left this happends



The body rotates way too much when it really shouldnt

[slowJusko]

This using the TFP anim tree?

[alvarofer0021]

yeah it is

[slowJusko]

Could be one or more skeletal controllers causing the issue.
I'll have to check it out.

[alvarofer0021]

It only happends when i try to move while im playing an aniamtion trough tophalf or full body anim slots tough

[Vinny2]

I love how this works. It can greatly speed up development, since it gets rid of the 1st person mesh and animation, relying only on 3rd person models. Thank you! Which license was used for the source code? MIT? GPL?

[koningStoma]

I love how this works. It can greatly speed up development, since it gets rid of the 1st person mesh and animation, relying only on 3rd person models. Thank you!

I concur. Its very solid.

[TheSpagster]

I concur. Its very solid.

True, but the problem is that some animations do better using FP only models. Though it is much more efficient than UDK's base material since you can see FP arms as well as your gun without making separate models and rigging for arms.
