UnderBarrel Weapons Framework

[A55K1KA]

Progress as of 21/09/2015 (dd/mm/yyyy)

Encountering issues with animations (camera is way up in 3rd person, character rotates unexpectedly)

Script is mostly working, major features working (Swapping from primary and secondary modes and ammo swapping (though ammo swapping isnt actually added yet) and I've included 360 controller mcm support for those who prefer controllers)

To Summarize, the mod is progressing, but still a ways to go.

 

Description of the mod...

The end goal of this mod is to provide the player with a working under barrel shotgun on their weapon (starting with Miabatsu's AK12).

The mod as it is now adds 2 hotkeys (configurable via MCM (with controller options)), the first will alternate fire modes on the weapon (switching between primary fire and under barrel fire modes).. the second will swap ammo while in "under barrel mode" (currently no ammo variations are added to the mod).

 

Ideas..

- alternate function for the second hotkey, instead of ammo swap.. toggle melee mode (so you can hit things or people with the butt of the gun (sideways swipe or downward thrusting motion))

- combined with above idea, breach doors by shooting them with the masterkey (under barrel shotgun) followed by a smack from the butt of your gun

sorry for the long break, I am back now and work on this mod is resuming.

Made some changes to the mod, the shotgun now has a handle rather than using the mag for a grip.. reason for this was that the animating was not going too well with the grip position being so close to the trigger.

Also I made the shotgun shorter, I feel it looks tons better.. hope to have some screenshots soon.

I always felt the assault carbines needed an underbarrel grenade launcher, I am looking forward to seeing this as a fully realized mod

out of curiosity, how do you plan to have the game keep track of the ammo consumption of two different weapons at the same time?

This is an amazing idea! I have one question though, would you add the GP-25 for the Chinese Assault and other AK-type rifles? And if you need testing or help with this, in the end I could do some compatibility patches and send them to you. Its nice to see mods that add new possibilities to the game. 

Pavel: 

(I may have messed something up. Hastily wrote this)

If PlayerREF.GetItemCount <ammo> >= 1, etc etc etc

     PlayerREF.RemoveItem <that ammo you put in above> 1 or however many you want it to remove

then, a script for example, the player does not have any ammo for the GL or Under barrel Shotgun:

If PlayerREF.GetItemCount <ammo> <= 0

     PlaySound <The no ammo click-thing>

Looking awesome. I know this may be a "dumb" combo but I'd love to see a sniper with a 12 ga under mount.

@ Pavel,

I have added a ammo consuming segment to my scripts so each time you fire with the hotkey and it shoots successfully, it should remove some ammo, to avoid issues the ammo it uses is a crafted item that works in no other gun and is made by using 12ga ammo at a loading bench.

 

@Pins,

Sorry i dont actually know what a GP-25 is, is it like a 25mm? thats a guess based on the name, I will google it in a moment anyway.. just figured id ask too incase i find something that doesnt match what you were meaning.

I am already thinking of a launcher for the chinese AR, but havent really planned it at this point.

 

@Paragon,

Ill make a note to do the anti material with a semi auto shotgun under it.

The GP series are soviet/russian-made muzzle-loading rifled underbarrel grenade launchers firing a 40mm caseless round that attach to AK series rifles without modification. They're like a Warsaw pact M203 equivalent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP-25 for reference.

I like the idea of this. I will be tracking this. However, my main character's primary weapon is ZealotLee's ACR (ported from Fallout 3 as part of his weapon pack). But, maybe some of my other characters can make use of this.
