Make any weapon usable from a swoop [MP/SP]

Welcome to part three of the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) series.

This is a very simple, one step process.

Open up bg_pmove.c (or bg_pmove.cpp in SP), and in the function PM_WeaponOkOnVehicle (it will look like this:),

//see if a weapon is ok to use on a vehicle

qboolean PM_WeaponOkOnVehicle( int weapon )

{

//FIXME: check g_vehicleInfo for our vehicle?

switch ( weapon )

{

//case WP_NONE:

case WP_MELEE:

case WP_SABER:

case WP_BLASTER:

//case WP_THERMAL:

return qtrue;

break;

}

return qfalse;

}

Add whatever weapons you want to be included here. So for instance, if we wanted to make the Repeater usable on a swoop, you might want to add it thusly:

//see if a weapon is ok to use on a vehicle

qboolean PM_WeaponOkOnVehicle( int weapon )

{

//FIXME: check g_vehicleInfo for our vehicle?

switch ( weapon )

{

//case WP_NONE:

case WP_MELEE:

case WP_SABER:

case WP_BLASTER:

case WP_REPEATER: // eezstreet add

//case WP_THERMAL:

return qtrue;

break;

}

return qfalse;

}

That's all you need to do! There's nothing else needed here.
