Useweapon, frustrating.

[SUPR3ME KILL3R 0]

I have a video work in progress which features a scene of a civilian wounded next to a car, and an SLA soldier walking up and firing 3 rounds at him at close range, killing him.

That all works, except using the "USEWEAPON" code presents problems. This is the code to the script, no matter what I do to the loop, the SLA soldier fires only once, where I want him to fire 3 times.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_shooter = executer1

_logic = logic1

deadciv1 switchmove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured3"

executer1 playmove "ActsPercMstpSnonWrflDnon_ArrestingSoldier"

~5

deadciv1 switchmove "AdthPsitMstpSlowWrflDnon"

_shots = 0

#FireAuto

_logic action ["useWeapon", _shooter, _shooter,0]

~0.5

_shots = _shots + 1

?_Shots >= 3:exit

goto "FireAuto"

Simply using the USEWEAPON code 3 times doesn't work

Loop doesn't work

But, adding 3 triggers and having them each use the USEWEAPON code with a delay inbetween works. I dont like this, because  I need to use the USEWEAPON code about 50 more times for this video (getting soldiers to fire during animations), and I dont want to add several hundred triggers just to get this to work...

there is something wrong with your script, unrelated to the useWeapon line, maybe ?_Shots >= 3:exit

this script works as expected for me in a test mission :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">unit2 switchmove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured3";

unit1 playmove "ActsPercMstpSnonWrflDnon_ArrestingSoldier";

sleep 5;

unit2 switchmove "AdthPsitMstpSlowWrflDnon";

gameLogic action ["useWeapon", unit1, unit1,12];

sleep 0.2;

gameLogic action ["useWeapon", unit1, unit1,12];

sleep 0.2;

gameLogic action ["useWeapon", unit1, unit1,12];

I tried it without the loop and it still doesn't work.

EDIT: I've noticed that after using the Useweapon code in a script, everything that is supposed to happen afterward, fails to.

Well I got it to work, mostly...

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't it seems

Try SQF:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_shooter = executer1;

_logic = logic1;

deadciv1 switchmove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured3";

executer1 playmove "ActsPercMstpSnonWrflDnon_ArrestingSoldier";

sleep 5;

deadciv1 switchmove "AdthPsitMstpSlowWrflDnon";

_shots = 0;

while {_shots <= 3} do

{

_logic action ["useWeapon", _shooter, _shooter,0];

_shots = _shots + 1;

sleep 0.5;

};
