Credits to Ishi for the original idea.

Version 2.0

After much tinkering with setting force vectors, and ideas popping up in the meantime, I have created a new script. Also, aiming is fixed. You can now aim properly.

This is meant to be a moddable script. It is VERY easy to add new bodyparts that you can shoot and bind them to a key. I will post instructions below.

The stock script comes with 3 shoot-able parts. Both wrists and the right foot.

Q and O for the wrists, and L for the foot.

Note that grabbing before firing will mess it up, and it will grab the forearm and your WHOLE arm will go flying.




Modding

Open up shotgun.lua with your favorite text editor (preferably Notepad or Notepad++) and look for the following lines:


The numbers are the references to joints and bodyparts. Look here for the numbers: http://www.toribash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9391

Now then.

shot3 = {11, 12, 19}

This code contains BODYPARTS that are the ones launched. 11 and 12 are the hands, 19 is the right foot. Add one to the end if you wish to add a new bodypart.

shot = {10, 11, 18}

This code contains the JOINTS that link the launched bodyparts (wrist joint, ankle joint) If you added something to shot3, you MUST add its counterpart here.

shot2 = {6, 9, 16}

This code contains the JOINTS that are next to the launched bodyparts, that do the aiming. Like, if you add a wrist, this would be the elbow. If you add a foot, this would be the knee. You MUST add it if you add something new.

keys = {"q", "o", "l"}

This part contains the keys that are used to launch the joints. So if you add something new, add the key you want it to fire on here.

shot['number'] = 3

This is simply a way to count the things you added. If you add one thing, add one to the number. If you add two things, add two, etc.



Basic .lua file is attached. Comments/criticism goes here. Have fun. : )
