Tracefire to projectile fire problems

[Euphoric Beaver]

I'm trying to turn the sniper rifle to fire a projectile in the primary fire.
But after fiddling with it when you first fire it, it fires but no projectile spawns but keeping hold of fire after that works.

Can anyone help it fire the projectile all the time?

Try removing the Fire() function. The original Sniper Rifle works without it and so will your modification.
TournamentWeapon already has a multifunctional version of the Fire() function.

Nope.

Well if you're turning a non projectile weapon to a projectile weapon the first thing you need to do is set bIntantHit to false, if you don't override the Fire() function AND bInstantHit is set to true the parent Weapon class will call TraceHit() and will do a trace fire instead of spawning the projectile class.

Yeh I know that.

Chaos UT has a sniper rifle with projectiles.

I don't have the Chaos UT .uc file at the moment, but my Enhanced Items remake of it doesn't differ much. Maybe you can find your answers in EI_Sniper2.uc. It extends from EI_SniperRifle, which is equivalent to Botpack.SniperRifle.

Found it.

In State Idle there was a hidden Function Fire that called a trace, replaced it with ProjectileFire and it now works.

Thanks for the help. :tup:

The easy (and arguably dirty) way would have been to just modify TraceFire() to spawn bullets.
