Dialog-information.png This article needs checking.

Reason(s): "Some weapon types do not work."... needs investigating. Shotguns do not work because the pellet code was complex and its actually 8 very clustered pellets. All other bullet weapons should work and be synced. Exact weapons this works with needs documenting still.

Creates a custom weapon that can fire bullets not related to player held weapons.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Tip: Some models such a minigun point in a slightly different direction to where they fire. To adjust for this, use setWeaponProperty with 'fire_rotation'. See example below.

Syntax

weapon createWeapon ( string theType, float x, float y, float z )

Required Arguments

  • theType: The weapon type which can be:
  • colt 45
  • silenced
  • deagle
  • uzi
  • mp5
  • ak-47
  • m4
  • tec-9
  • rifle
  • sniper
  • minigun

Other weapons can be used but they can't fire. Use createProjectile for projectile based weapons.

  • x: The x position to create the weapon.
  • y: The y position to create the weapon.
  • z: The z position to create the weapon.

Returns

Minimum client version 1.3.0-9.04555

Note: Using this feature requires the resource to have the above minimum version declared in the meta.xml <min_mta_version> section. e.g. <min_mta_version client="1.3.0-9.04555" />

Examples

Example 1: This example create weapon and firing.

function createMinigunWeapon()

    setWeaponState ( weapon,"firing")

    -- Optionally adjust for model rotation (This value will be different for other weapons)
    setWeaponProperty( weapon, "fire_rotation", 0, -30, 0 );
end
addCommandHandler("createminigun", createMinigunWeapon)
