Lowering weapon when sprinting

In idPlayer::AdjustSpeed

Code:

   } else if ( !physicsObj.OnLadder() && ( usercmd.buttons & BUTTON_RUN ) && ( usercmd.forwardmove || usercmd.rightmove ) && ( usercmd.upmove >= 0 ) ) {
      if ( !gameLocal.isMultiplayer && !physicsObj.IsCrouching() && !PowerUpActive( ADRENALINE ) ) {
         stamina -= MS2SEC( gameLocal.msec );
         gameLocal.Warning( "---->Sprinting!!!" );
         StopFiring();
         weapon.GetEntity()->LowerWeapon();
      }

The message will repeat while sprinting but StopFiring() and LowerWeapon() have no effect.

Probably because you're doing it in the wrong place.
Enabilng/disabling weapons should be done only in idPlayer::UpdateWeapon, otherwise when UpdateWeapon will be called (and it happens every frame) it will override whatever you've set before.

Ivan_the_B is correct. Right in the idPlayer::UpdateWeapon just add this.

Code:

...snip...

   } else    if ( focusCharacter && ( focusCharacter->health > 0 ) ) {
      Weapon_NPC();
   } 
   else if ( !physicsObj.OnLadder() && ( usercmd.buttons & BUTTON_RUN ) && ( usercmd.forwardmove || usercmd.rightmove ) && ( usercmd.upmove >= 0 ) )
   {
      // lower your weapon while sprinting
      if ( !gameLocal.isMultiplayer && !physicsObj.IsCrouching() && !PowerUpActive( ADRENALINE ) ) {
         gameLocal.Warning( "---->Sprinting!!!" );
         StopFiring();
         weapon.GetEntity()->LowerWeapon();
      }
   }
   else {
      Weapon_Combat();
   }

...snip...

Thanks both of ya. Jompa spoiled the fun, though. I wanted to figure some of it out myself.

Player.cpp is where you will find idPlayer::UpdateWeapon()

You can't export models to Doom 3 from the PLE version of Maya, so be careful with that.

well, where is Player.cpp? is it in the SDK?

and i know i can't export from the PLEs, but i need something native to md5...

Yes, Player.cpp is part of the SDK, which you will have to download. If you didn't know that, you probably don't know that you'll also need to get a compiler to turn the code into something useable. I would suggest getting the express edition of Microsoft Visual Studio (it's completely free).

My tutorials on installing VC++ Express are here. If you're using D3 only I would recommed the 2008 version (setup is simpler). If you plan to mod for ETQW too then use the 2005 version because of the way ETQW uses the C++ runtime libarary dynamically linked instead of statically.
