UE2:ReloadableWeaponBase

Introduction

This is a very rough version of a reloadable weapon base class. It is not designed with replication (and thus online play) in mind and it is currently unknown whether it will work properly in an online modification as is. If you need reloadable weapons for a single player modification, then this could be what you're looking for. Again, it is merely a skeleton and has no animation support and will only work with the primary fire mode (FireMode[0]). To use this class, you will need to not only create it/compile it, but you will need to make a sub-class of it, where your sub-class is the actual weapon you will use in-game.

Properties

Visible

bool bReloading 

True if the weapon has started reloading

int iReloadWait 

Time interval between reloading a bullet. Set only in your sub-class.

int iTimeToReload 

Set internally. Do not play around with it.

bool bClipReload 

Will force the weapon's reloading to behave more like an assault rifle, rather than a shot gun (per clips versus per bullet/shell).

int iNumberOfClips 

Number of clips the weapon has. Used only if bClipReload is true. Set only in your sub-class.

bool bSingleReload 

Will force the weapon's reloading to behave more like a shotgun and reload per bullet/shell.

int iNumberOfBullets 

Number of bullets the weapon has. Set only in your sub-class.

Methods

(exec) ReloadMe() 

Reloads the weapons ammo.

Timer() 

Controls the reloading system.

            }

Notes

To reload your weapon, you will have to call 'reloadme' from the console. For gametypes and mods, you should make a custom bind to call this function.
