So I'm trying to mod in a machine gun, and I'm seeing there is no [FIRE_RATE] token. I guess I need a script? I found one, but it doesn't seem to work in adventure mode.

Code: [Select]

local eventful = require 'plugins.eventful'

print("rapidfire enabled")

eventful.onProjItemCheckMovement.rapidfire = function(projectile)
if projectile.distance_flown == 1 then
adjustFireRate(projectile)
end
end

function adjustFireRate(projectile)
local fireRate = nil
if projectile.firer == nil then --if the projectile wasn't shot by somebody, like a flying corpse
return
end
if projectile.item.subtype.id == "ITEM_AMMO_BULLET_LIGHT" then
fireRate = 20
elseif projectile.item.subtype.id == "ITEM_AMMO_BULLET_HEAVY" then
fireRate = 100
end
if fireRate ~= nil and projectile.firer.counters.think_counter > fireRate then
projectile.firer.counters.think_counter = fireRate
end
end
Help?

Are you using ammo of the provided types listed in the script? ITEM_AMMO_BULLET_LIGHT and/or ITEM_AMMO_BULLET_HEAVY. Otherwise, it could just be that some eventful stuff still isn't working outside of fortress mode. It's been like that for a while, which sucks because you could make some awesome stuff for adventure mode with what it provides.

1) Yes, I checked.
2) That's sad.

Nevermind, the script does work. The increased rate of fire makes firearms very powerful, but did you expect a swordsman to stand a chance against someone with a gun (in ranged combat)?

From my own experimentation with rapid fire weapons, thinking that the difference between fortress and adventure timescales (~72x?) also applies to reload times.

With a nice three-tick delay between shots in fort mode, adventure mode enemies were nearly able to close to melee after only a single shot.
Reducing the delay to 1/10 tick allowed several shots on a charging foe in adventure mode, but caused fortress mode shooters to vomit out all their ammo in under a second.
Ultimately just kept two different versions of the script, one for each mode.
