[Question] How to create rotating item_in_worlds (specifically gun items)?

[Gamer_Victorch]

I have recently joined in a development of a gun game map. I think the lead developer wants rotating guns that are similar to what we have in Quake.
I tried following this post but it is no longer working even for the rendinst

[Devenddar]

I think you can find answer here (3): Some questions about mods

@Gamer_Victorch

I tried following this post but it is no longer working even for the rendinst

What do you mean?

You can also try to use animated_scene_rendinst, but it requires +game_rendinst/+game_rendinst_decor postfix template. And yeah… They’re probably work only for rendinsts. IIRC some of these animated rendinsts doesn’t work properly in online. I’ll check it a bit later & update my message.

Oh I noted that they also added animated_scene_rendinst_with_wind.

@Devenddar The answer is this pretty simple actually
The lead developer showed me this

item_in_world entities will spin after this prefix is added

The third field below is the rotation speed

[Devenddar]

Well… You can do it by this way. But it probably will take more time that just add these properties to weapon pickup:

  token_free__rotationSpeedDegPerSecond:r=30.0

  "token_free__tag:tag"{
  }

Why? Because you will need to edit animchar, item template, collision and probably token nominal to 0.

Also better to not add many info to scene.blk file.

If you do it like on screenshots then it will be happened:

How about this?

I think _use works similar to the + thing
edit: f it doesn’t. Never mind!

i believe he is talking about enginya.

but she is… a developer.
once attached to the editor.

EDIT:

what,
who da hell

is he?

where is his fancy tag

[Gamer_Victorch]

No, he develop mods, not a game developer
I joined his development here: Some questions about mods

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

ah… lenguage barrier.

for a moment, we almost found the golden chicken who lied the golded eggs.

but apparently not.

[Devenddar]

A bit updated my old message.

@Gamer_Victorch

How about this?

@Devenddar

  token_free__rotationSpeedDegPerSecond:r=30.0

  "token_free__tag:tag"{
  }

Why need add all info from token when you can use only some of them? Also yeah… Line _use works like postfix template.

[gastanofrizzi]

Don’t worry All the members of the staff active on the forum have a tag or a icon next to their name

[Gamer_Victorch]

Imagine there are undercovers that will spy on modders to see if there are anything fishy we are doing

Apparently not, it wont work
Your method works

and i love how the dropped gun would rotate into the ground

[Devenddar]

@Gamer_Victorch

Apparently not, it wont work

It’s actually work lol

Yeah… It’s bad idea to use almost similar weapons for screenshot.

But yeah… Still need to edit some properties. Like item template, item text, token nominal and something else.

@Gamer_Victorch

and i love how the dropped gun would rotate into the ground

Yeah. That’s why I suggest add seperate entity for pickup and for drop.

@Devenddar

So probably better to do code looks something like that:

nagant_m1895_zombie_gun_item{
  _override:b=yes

  _group{
    _tags:t="server"

    "gun__initialAmmoHoldersCount:list<i>"{
      item:i=5
    }
  }
}

nagant_m1895_zombie_pickup_gun_item{
  _use:t="nagant_m1895_zombie_gun_item"

  token_free__rotationSpeedDegPerSecond:r=30.0

  "token_free__tag:tag"{
  }
}

And you create nagant_m1895_zombie_pickup_gun_item for pickup. Only it rotates.

[Bazsi37]

No, he develop mods, not a game developer

I mean idk what i was expecting

[Gamer_Victorch]

@Devenddar

And you create nagant_m1895_zombie_pickup_gun_item for pickup. Only it rotates.

I see, i know what you are saying now. So in the gun entity i do item__template:t="nagant_m1895_zombie_gun_item"
Very good idea

[Gamer_Victorch]

What do you guys think of this kar98k?

I created this by accident.

Spoiler

It is just a pre war kar98k over a k98k kriegsmodell

[Devenddar]

You probably don’t have to do this, because it will automatically have the correct if you do something like that:

nagant_m1895_zombie_pickup_gun_item{
  _use:t="nagant_m1895_zombie_gun_item"
