Weapon animation on pickup

[sick plover]

I want this gun to immediately play an animation on pickup. How can I accomplish this?

[zealous fjord]

4x or 3x

[sick plover]

3x.

[dim relic]

new component > when object is created

as far as i remember

[sick plover]

Wouldn't that make the animation play when the map begins?
I want the animation to play when the player picks it up. No other time.

[sick plover]

@zealous fjord Other guy isn't much help, return and assist me please

[dim relic]

they're mods silly, not helpers

ping satt or something

[sick plover]

Do init. scripts in weapons activate on pick-up?

Alright, works for me.

[dim relic]

this is literally the same thing that i've said before

💀

guess im bad at explanations

[agile surge]

what about the when collected in the weapon's item component

[agile surge]

idk i put an animate in when collected and it worked

[sick plover]

I tried that. I'll make a video.

By the way, I should specify - I do want the weapon to be selected on pick-up. I've been selecting "Auto-use on pickup" to make that happen.

Nevermind, I don't need a new video. I tried using animations in "when collected" and it didn't work. You can see it in the first video.

Elaborate.

I'm assuming you mean
On pickup > Script > Switch weapon to gun that was picked up > Animate

[agile surge]

can you show me the script you used?

[sick plover]

Why would I need to self destroy??

[agile surge]

Auto use seems to work just fine with weapons

[sick plover]

That sounds unnecessary. Is there really no way to do it with 1?

[agile surge]

idk i don't really get what you guys are trying to do here

[sick plover]

I don't want to have 2 versions of one weapon. There's no guarantee that would even do what I REALLY need, which is animate on pickup.

[sick plover]

Use an animation for a weapon when picking it up (ie when picking up AK it will play bolt racking animation)

Well, I need help with animating on pickup. Let's stop this tangent.

[agile surge]

auto use makes je auto select it from what i have seen in my testing

[sick plover]

Not what I'm trying to do. I already figured that out.

You worded it a bit strangely. I don't quite understand.

Video.

[agile surge]

Idk this is what i did and it worked just fine during my testing

[sick plover]

That makes the player do an animation. I want the WEAPON to do an animation. Sorry if I made it a bit ambiguous.

[agile surge]

when object is created actually does it

when object is created works too

with a very small script needed from what i know

if you don't want the weapon to just play it when createfd

well yes but it also makes it play when equipped

but you can just add a Component with a true/false that checks if the weapon has been picked up to avoid it from animating at start

idk in my testing the weapon animated with the when object is created

and to avoid it animating on the map start just slap a true/false

true/false is just a number that goes to 0 or 1

[dim relic]

it was bugged before the update

[agile surge]

0 is false and 1 is true

[agile surge]

what update

[dim relic]

before zeditor

[agile surge]

what more things would you use a true/false converted to numbers in

you can do that with true/falses

i don't really get what do you mean with select/unselect spam tho

it would be the same as numbers

[dim relic]

me using name and description attributes as variables

[sick plover]

worked!

[agile surge]

i mean if you just need a check for how many times you equipped and dequipped or something you can just use a +1

[sick plover]

New problem

The animation will immediately play when I start the game

I'm gonna try tweaking it

[agile surge]

true/false

[sick plover]

Exactly the same as what you did, no need

Wait nvm I did it wrong one sec

[river shale]

i know how to fix this

lemme get an example script

[dim relic]

what are you guys talking about lol

[agile surge]

animation plays when item is collected

[dim relic]

what bool has to do with item collection thing??

[agile surge]

The animation plays when map starts basically

[river shale]

when the object is equipped
it checks if the weapon user is the main actor
then it’ll animate

[sick plover]

I want it to only trigger on first equip.

[river shale]

oh mk

[dim relic]

i forgot what's the post point was initially

you can do it without variables

[sick plover]

Still playing when starting

Will record this time one second

[river shale]

try changing the >= to just =

i think you can just do = because it’ll just keep on animating once it’s greater than two

[dim relic]

??

anyway i can't think my brain isn't braining

i haven't slept since yesterday so i might be stupid

[sick plover]

Pay attention to the AK when map begins

[river shale]

i think thars what he wanted

[sick plover]

that's the point you moron

[dim relic]

take a chill pill

hold on

[sick plover]

WAIT I KNOW THE PROBLEM

Let me go fix that rw

rq

[agile surge]

i did it

so like should i send a video

Basically item animates only when equipped (+ only when equipped once)

[sick plover]

Nevermind, didn't fix it

Either plays when map starts (when 1 is used) or doesn't play unless you unequip then reequip (when 2 is used)

[sick plover]

ssend...

[agile surge]

i will just give me a sec

[sick plover]

gonna go play vr

I'll try X's method when I stop playing

[sick plover]

Show the script

[agile surge]

Your actor may need a true/false component tho which is the one represented in the images

[sick plover]

...why??

[agile surge]

I couldn't get it to work on the item

[sick plover]

What number is your component starting at

Same here

[agile surge]

My method works just fine

[sick plover]

kab00m, are you running 3x or 4x

Same here.

[agile surge]

same

[sick plover]

I can't even play VR too, my older brother only takes it NOW even though he had the chance to use it several times

[agile surge]

skill issue

[sick plover]

I give up for today, I'll try this again tomorrow smh

[agile surge]

idk im the younger brother so i get to do lots of stuff

[sick plover]

I just ended up using a different pickup system. The player has to manually tap on a prop that puts the weapon in their bag, then the prop is deleted.

Close this.
