Knife logic 2013

[Avi]

[On every gun's ready loop]

A_Jumpifinventory("Knife", 1, "KnifeAttack")


[The knife attack state on every gun]

KnifeAttack
[D frames] <Fire the invisible projectiles to give the knife better range than A_Melee>
[D frames] A_JumpIfInventory("Knife", 1, "QuickKnifeSwapThingName")

QuickKnifeSwapThingName
Puke [ACS script that will give player "QuickKnifeSwap" inventory and instantly select the knife as the weapon the player wants]
DO NOT REMOVE THE "Knife" TOKEN YET, that comes in the actual Knife code.

Knife's weapon code

Ready:
A_JumpIfInventory("QuickKnifeSwap", 1, "ReadyLoop")
<- Because we will manually select the knife sometimes too

ReadyLoop:
0 A_JumpIfInventory("Knife", 1, "KnifeAttack")
<Usual Readyloop stuff here>

<Attack code already exists>

<AltFire will only be the D-frame set stab attack, since it's the longest reaching (and probably the strongest) single attack for the knife>

KnifeAttack:

[E frames] 1 A_Melee(blahblah)
[E frames] <animation>
[E Frames] <Close to wrapping up the animation somewhere> A_JumpIfInventory("Knife", 1, "KnifeAttack") <-- Since we don't have a proper "refire" for this kinda thing, I figured having the state loopable will make rapid attacks easier and maybe even quicker/more effective.



Yep, that's gonna be one hell of a fun knife. Stabby Stabby.
