you shouldnt need to do any ammo checks with melee weapons, unless you're building a melee weapon that uses ammo, which would be pretty cool too. 

QMaster,I have a problem.
I'm using the AD Shadaxe model for jazzaxe.
FTEQCCGUI compiled without error,but when I try to select the weapon (after picking up) it just switches to the shotgun.The model appears for a split-second then the shotgun appears.I cant use it.

Then I tried (using an InsideQC tut) to make the weapon switchable by selecting axe twice.
Problem is still there.

Help? 

I've ran into that before...might be a conflict with whichever bitflag value you used for IT_JAZZAXE. Can you upload a zip of your qc files? I might be able to take a look at it.

This one has a few changes from standard id1,including the code which seems to be wrong for the Jazz Axe and some AD-inspired health model changes (.bsp to .mdl) 

W_BestWeapon
Add if at the bottom
if (self.items & IT_JAZZAXE) return IT_JAZZAXE; else return IT_AXE;

And just below that in W_CheckNoAmmo:
inside the if (self.weapon == IT_AXE add "|| self.weapon == IT_JAZZAXE") 

Something is not right.

CheckNoAmmo does not have if (self.weapon == IT_AXE) part! 

i'm out of axe ammo! 

float() W_CheckNoAmmo =
{
if (self.currentammo > 0)
return TRUE;

if (self.weapon == IT_AXE)
return TRUE;

self.weapon = W_BestWeapon ();

W_SetCurrentAmmo ();

// drop the weapon down
return FALSE;
};
 

Never mind,found it.FTEQCCGUI has no Atrl+F combo!!! why!!!!! 

QMaster,the problem is still there.
I did some checking but I can't find anything wrong. 

in checknoammo shouldint you also add if(self.weapon == IT_JAZZAXE) return; ? 

otherwise it says you have no ammo jump to SG 

otherwise it says you have no ammo jump to SG 

if ((self.weapon == IT_AXE) || (self.weapon == IT_JAZZAXE))
return TRUE; 

@rook
Yes,I added that.It sill switches to SG after showing JAZZAXE for a split second. 

hmm what about ‘rankforweapon’ function?
im just thinking off the top of my head been awhile since i did the ol double tap
impuls to switch weapons; i had once made the lg
double as a flame thrower
you might need to add your axe there too 

Have you looked at client.qc?

There's a line

if(time > self.attack_finished && self.currentammo == 0 &&
       self.weapon != IT_AXE)
{
   self.weapon = W_BestWeapon ();
   W_SetCurrentAmmo ();
}

I suspect you need to change that last test to also consider IT_JAZZAXE. 

I am sorry.It does not work.Still switching after a second.

I am going to try and hunt down the warpspasm decompiled code I gave someone when I played Quake 2 years ago before going to Half-(my)-Life.

But please,try helping me.I might feature you in my mod. 

What did you change it to? Was it this:

if(time > self.attack_finished && self.currentammo == 0 &&
self.weapon != IT_AXE && self.weapon != IT_JAZZAXE )
 

You have saved me a complete rewrite.
Now,the world shall remember you as the savior of QuakeC.

Go Preach! 

 

They also will ask questions like these.Why?

Those idiots are my classmates! 

I created this PDF from a forum post on QuakeOne. This may be useful information for users new to QuakeC.

The way I found the problem line for the jazz axe was searching the entire sourcecode for every example of the keyword IT_AXE, which lead me to the one you hadn't changed yet.
