The OICW Custom weapon

I have a question, is it possible to fire the grenades on the OICW custom weapon? There is an ammo count for them and they are mentioned in the weapon script, but I don't see how to fire them.

Yep, the script just needs to be altered. We dont have a third fire mode setup for weapons so you need to choose between the scope and the nade.

Ok, sounds good.

How about making the scope its ironsight and making the grenade launcher fire2 or watever the altfire command is?

That's not how the ironsights work, it's a purely visual effect and only deals with the view model.

so you cant just make it work off the same key as the ironsights? Or make it work like MIs sniper rifle, it puts your view a good distance ahead.

No, the ironsights key does ironsights for whatever view model happens to be onscreen at the time, not based on the weapon. Adding another fire mode key isn't necessarily that hard for a specific weapon, but getting it to work in general (and for scripted weapons) is a different story.

I just remembered they had the same problem on the gmod oicw, you just hold e and then shoot to select the scope or grenade launcher.

Yes but that was also Coded in "lua" not what OC is using.

Well theyre discussing adding lua eventually, so then, if they do, making weapons and such with multiple features will be possible. But thats assuming they do.

Can't you just hollow out the scope so you look through it when you press ironsights?

If you look at the scope in halo 2/3, the scope actually shows a slightly magnified view of where you're aiming on the scope screen when at 0x magnification. Is it possible to create a distortion effect that magnifies objects in the oicws scope?

Yup, by creating a texture that's using the Refract shader.

Well then if they put one in the scope of the weapon, and you look through the scop of the model with ironsights, wouldnt it be like a real scope?

I don't know if you can make it work like this in the Source Engine but it's worth a try.
