Ok, today we're going to make the RPG a little more
powerful...Alright, a LOT more powerful. The RPG rocket will be
turned into into a bomber-rocket from hell! It will drop contact
grenades every .1 seconds. When we're through you'll be turning your
friends into stuff suitable for a Ziploc baggie instead of a HEV
suit. To start off, Im assuming you have a compiler, know how to
work it, and a test directory with liblist.gam. Open up the mp.dll
and go to the rpg.cpp file. Go down to around line 300, and you'll
see this:
void CRpgRocket :: FollowThink( void )
Now, I'm NOT an excellent coder, and don't understand half of the
code in this function ;-), but what I do understand (or at least
think I understand) is that this is called every .1 seconds once the
rocket has been shot and has ignited. All you have to do is take
this code:
CGrenade::ShootContact( pev,pev->origin + pev->view_ofs + gpGlobals->v_forward
* 16, gpGlobals->v_forward * 800 );
and put it right above the
pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + 0.1;
line. This says that at the end of the FollowThink() there is a
contact grenade shot with:
An owner of: pev (I think that's the rocket)
A start vector of: pev->origin + pev->view_ofs + gpGlobals->v_forward
* 16 (Where the rocket is plus some other variables which I dont
know about and won't mess with)
And a velocity of: gpGlobals->v_forward * 800 (Which I'm not sure
what it is)
That's all there is to it! Now compile, activate the mod, and enter
a map (I use bounce) type in impulse 101 (you did use sv_cheats 1
right?) and take the rocket launcher out for a spin! I might make a
better tutorial based on a similar idea (eg. a crossbow bolt that
drops snarks hehehehe) but I won't now. I don't know wether this
works in multiplayer (I assume so) and if so, who gets credit for
the kills (The rocket?) but you're welcome to try it out!
Disclamer: I don't hold any responsibility for any negative effects
this may have upon anyone/anything and don't guaranty that it will
even work, but I assure you that to the best of my knowlege it will
NOT disfunction or do any harm to you, your family, your computer,
your cat, or Rocky the Flying Squirrel.
