Cycle Time

In, m_flCycleTime = pKeyValuesData->GetFloat( "CycleTime", 0.15 ); what's that cycletime? Is .15 15% of 1 second or what? Banaticus -- BAH 08:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Seconds seem sensible doesn't it? 0.15 = 150ms --TomEdwards 19:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Server/client weapon attributes sync

How can I control which attributes will be synchronized between server and client, and which ones won't?

In my tests, changes to MyModWeaponData were being replicated to clients, but if I changed something from FileWeaponInfo_t, let's say iSlot, it doesn't get replicated to clients.

You'll need to network vars that aren't replicated yourself through the normal channels. It makes total sense that iSlot shouldn't be part of Valve's datatables. :-) --TomEdwards 10:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to use Weapon scripts to turn basehlcombatweapon into a new weapon?

So I tried making a file named basehlcombatweapon.txt in Half-Life 2/hl2/scripts, this is a copy of weapon_357.txt, this made the otherwise nonfunctional weapon into a 357 that doesn't have the sniper-worthy accuracy and fires too fast. Is it possible that, if we copy a .cpp file and rename it to basehlcombatweapon.txt, we can make new weapons?
