Heat Based Weapons | Base

Information

This addon is a modification for TFA weapons. Developed for star wars weapons but usable for any kind of TFA weapons. Its a simple to use addon wich removes the ammo of the configured weapons and replace it with an heat display. You can fire with those heat based weapons as long as the heat display doesn't reach the red status.

Weapons in the screenshots are not in this addon. This addon only adds the display for the heat status and the heat system it self. The Heat Based Clone Wars Weapons will soon follow.

How it works

If configured correctly you will find on your weapon a heat display as seen in the screenshots. You can now shoot as long as the heat display isn't showing the red status. If you reached the red status, your weapon has overheated and you must reload to cool it down.
If you wait a configured time and you are not overheated the weapon cools down it self. Or you can press reload to cool the weapon down faster.

Create a Heat Based Weapon

To create a Heat Based Weapon this base is required. Then you must only add the few lines of code into your lua of the weapon. Also you should set the ammo consuption (SWEP.Primary.AmmoConsumption) to zero.

SWEP.Primary.AmmoConsumption = 0

-- Hover Heating SWEP.isHeatBased = true -- Must be true else it won't be a Heat Based Weapon SWEP.maxHeat = 40 -- Sets the max heat of a weapon. Could be compared with his magazine SWEP.currentHeat = 0 -- Sets the start heat of the weapon usually 0 SWEP.heatStep = 1 -- Defines how many heat it should add after a shot was fired SWEP.cooldownWaiter = 1 -- Defines how long it takes after the last shot till the weapon is cooling down SWEP.cooldownStep = 1 -- Set how many heat should be removed every cooldown round -- Display Size SWEP.heatDisplayX = 0.2 SWEP.heatDisplayY = 0.2 SWEP.heatDisplayZ = 0.25 -- Display Position and Rotation SWEP.heatDisplayPos = Vector(4, 2.1, 2.8) SWEP.heatDisplayRot = Angle(-90, 83, 0) -- -- -- --

If the weapon doesn't has any View Elements. You have to add the following code and change the bone.

SWEP.VElements = { ["case"] = { type = "Model", model = "models/dolunity/heatometer/heatometer.mdl", bone = "v_dlt19_reference001", rel = "", pos = weapon.heatDisplayPos, angle = weapon.heatDisplayRot, size = Vector(weapon.heatDisplayX,weapon.heatDisplayY, weapon.heatDisplayZ), color = Color(255, 255, 255, 255), surpresslightning = false, material = "", skin = 0, bodygroup = {} }, ["heat"] = { type = "Model", model = "models/hunter/plates/plate025.mdl", bone = "v_dlt19_reference001", rel = "case", pos = Vector(0, 0, 0), angle = Angle(0, 0, 0), size = Vector(weapon.heatDisplayX * 0.6, weapon.heatDisplayY * 0.7333, weapon.heatDisplayZ * 0.1), color = Color(255, 255, 255, 255), surpresslightning = true, material = "models/debug/debugwhite" , skin = 0, bodygroup = {} } }

Create TFA attachments

If you want to have a TFA attachments which influence the heat system you have to add the following code to your attachment:

function ATTACHMENT:Attach(wep) wep.maxHeat = wep.maxHeat + 15 -- Increases the max heat of the weapon by 15 if you add the attachment to your weapon wep:Unload() end function ATTACHMENT:Detach(wep) wep.maxHeat = wep.maxHeat - 15 -- Decreases the max heat by 15 after removing the attachment wep:Unload() end
