I don't need to test my programs. I have an error-correcting modem.

Replication[edit]

The following properties are reliable if Role == ROLE_Authority and bNetDirty is true:

If in addition to the above conditions the following properties are also reliable if bNetOwner is false:

CurrentHitLocation
FlashCount

Functions[edit]

int LimitPitch( int Pitch, rotator ForwardRotation, optional int WeaponYaw ) (native) 
DisplayDebug( Canvas Canvas, out float YL, out float YPos ) (simulated) 
This will draw the state of bActive, bCorrectAim and the DebugInfo String :
PostBeginPlay() (simulated) 
Calculate YawConstraintDelta
Setup Drawing of the Charging Bar
Apply Berserk Fire Modifier If APplicable?
PostNetBeginPlay() (simulated) 
Sets the weapon into a state, either InstantFireMode if bInstantFire == true or ProjectileFireMode
InitEffect
Super()
InitEffects() (simulated) 
Attaches FlashEmitterClass and AmbientEffectEmitterClass to their locations based on WeaponFireAttachmentBone if they are != none
SetGRI( GameReplicationInfo GRI ) (simulated) 
SetFireRateModifier( float Modifier ) (simulated) 
SpawnHitEffects( Actor HitActor, vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal ) 
EMPTY
ShakeView() (simulated) 
If the person using our ONSWeapon is a player controller call WeaponShakeView(ShakeRotMag, ShakeRotRate, SHakeRotTime, ShakeOffsetMag, ShakeOffsetRate, ShakeOffsetTime)
ClientStartFire( Controller C, bool bAltFire ) (simulated) 
ClientStartFire() and ClientStopFire() are only called for the client that owns the weapon (and not at all for bots)
This is where force feedback is activated and OwnerEffects() is called
ClientStopFire( Controller C, bool bWasAltFire ) (simulated) 
Stops Force Feedback and our AmbientEffectEmitter if it exists
ClientPlayForceFeedback( String EffectName ) (simulated) 
Verify It's a Valid PlayerController And Get TO IT
StopForceFeedback( String EffectName ) (simulated) 
Verify It's a Valid PlayerController and Get TO IT
OwnerEffects() (simulated) 
//do effects (muzzle flash, force feedback, etc) immediately for the weapon's owner (don't wait for replication)
rotator AdjustAim( bool bAltFire ) 
This tells a bot how to line up a shot
byte BestMode() 
AI: return the best fire mode for the situation
Fire( Controller C ) 
This Non-State Version just writes a friendly message to the logs
AltFire( Controller C ) 
This Non-State Version just writes a friendly message to the logs
bool CanAttack( Actor Other) 
Return false if out of range, can't see target, etc.
float MaxRange() (simulated) 
Gives a max distance for bots to use when deciding how to use a weapon.
Projectile SpawnProjectile( class<Projectile> ProjClass, bool bAltFire ) 
First thing this function does is determine the spawn location, this can either be WeaponFireLocation or is computed through a collision trace if bDoOffsetTrace == true
Next the projectile is spawned, if bInheritVelocity == true then the Projectile.Velocity = Instigator.Velocity
Firing Noises are played using FireClass/AltFireClass and FireSoundRadius/AltFireSoundRadius
As i look at the code here, i notice that AltFireSoundVolume is not used here but rather FireSoundVolume/255.0 is used in both the primary and secondary firing modes.
The projectile that was spawned is returned
CeaseFire( Controller C) 
Stops ambient sounds being played and resets Flash/Hit Count
Destroyed() (simulated) 
Cleans up Effects (DestroyEffects()) and calls SUper()
DestroyEffects() (simulated) 
SetTeam( byte T ) (simulated) 
Sets the current Skin to the proper teams skin
SimulateTraceFire( out vector Start, out Rotator Dir, out vector HitLocation, out vector HitNormal ) (simulated) 
Client Side Trace, does NOT apply damage, Does predict hit locations
TraceFire( vector Start, rotator dir ) 
Does a trace and applies damage
SpawnBeamEffect( vector Start, rotator Dir, vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal, int ReflectNum ) 
EMPTY
CalcWeaponFire() (simulated) 
Calculates the exact spot the weapon is firing From based on rotation/coords/bDualIndependentTargeting, and writes them to WeaponFireLocation and WeaponFireRotation
float ChargeBar() (simulated) 
StaticPrecache( LevelInfo L ) (static) 

Events[edit]

ClientSpawnHitEffects() (simulated) 
bool AttemptFire( Controller C, bool bAltFire) 
Fire if we can (This means FireCountdown is <= 0)
If we can fire, we will call Fire() or AltFire()
If we can fire we will set FireCountdown to either FireInterval or AltFireInterval
If we can fire aimlock will be applied
If we can fire, we will return true
Aimlock is implemented here as AimLockReleaseTime = Level.TimeSeconds + FireCountDown*FireIntervalAimLock
FlashMuzzleFlash() (simulated) 

States[edit]

InstantFireMode[edit]

Functions[edit]

Fire( Controller C) 
Apply Some Effects and Call TraceFire to do damage
AltFire( Controller C) 
EMPTY
SpawnHitEffects( Actor HitActor, vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal ) (simulated) 
Actually spawns hit effects on a client

Events[edit]

ClientSpawnHitEffects() (simulated) 
Determines the Hit Location and Calls SpawnHitEffects()

ProjectileFireMode[edit]

Fire( Controller C) 
Spawn the ProjectileClass()
AltFire( Controller C ) 
If the AltFireProjectileClass is None, then Fire. Otherwise, spawn the AltFireProjectileClass.

Notes[edit]

ONSWeapon sub-classes can only fire when in one of the two firing states: InstantFireMode or ProjectileFireMode. This takes place through the ONSWeapon property bInstantFire which is checked in ONSWeapon's PostNetBeginPlay() function.

Discussion[edit]

Sweavo: anyone know how to tell when the player has released the fire button? AFAICT CeaseWeaponFire doesn't happen until after the FireInterval expires...?

SuperApe: I believe there is a StopFiring() function within AIController or something. The function definitions should be separated from states and events, the words "function", "event", "simulated", etc. should be properly formatted. "var()" and "var" should be removed and the properties should be labeled as Hidden accordingly. EDIT: done.
