Clip Cannon

11.1k ThomasRoderick  2.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on ThomasRoderick's Ammo counter & Autoloader

FireWeapons: Fire a shot from the cannon; the cannon would reload after every sixth shot.


How to use the setup:

  1. Create three new variables. Set their Expression to "1" as placeholder.
  2. Set the Expression of the first variable to " rate( [fourth variable name] )>0 ? Time : [first variable name] "
  3. Set the Expression of the second variable to " (Time - [first variable name] > [time a reload a clip] | [third variable name] > [fourth variable name] | [first variable name] = 0) "
  4. Set the Expression of the third variable to " ammo( "[name of the weapon]" ) > 0 ? [max ammo of the weapon] - ammo( "[name of the weapon]" ) : [third variable name] "
  5. Set the Expression of the fourth variable to " [third variable name] - [fourth variable name] = [ammo per clip] ? [third variable name] : [fourth variable name] "
  6. Install the cannon. Set the activationGroup to " [third variable name] ", ammoCount to " [maximum ammo of the weapon] ", and firingDelay to " [time needed for the weapon to cycle] ".

    Idle musings:
    Older battleships oftentimes have multiple guns sharing the same elevation mechanism, so... perhaps this setup can be used to represent the individual turrets on those ships?

    I have 3 questions.
    1. How would I put this onto my build?
    2.May I use this on my main account? [@BOSSentinel]
    3. Is there any funky trees I would need to use.?

    @VTPADELTA
    Sorry for my late reply. Yup it's a lot simpler compared to the autoloader, and also yes, feel free to incorporate it into your next build as long as you give credit.
    (Also make sure to have at least 0.05s delay between your cannons for the counter to work properly)

    .... And thanks for the upvotes either way.

    Its just funny how your script still functions, despite the simplicity behind it.

    Gonna incorporate that into my build, if you don't mind :3

    Welp, feel free to use them in your next builds! Granted, it's still in the proof-of-concept phase, so....
    .
    ..
    ... I guess the companion piece can be used to set up individual gun turrets?

    Also, it's ok, my discord account and SP account have entirely different names so it makes sense, I'm thinking of changing my discord account to mosquitowithagun but idk.
