Allow burstrate/salvodelay to be 0

Currently, with emit sfx, if I have a weapon:
1) fires multiple shots(I.E. Shotgun) at 1 time
-- projectiles
2) fires more than 1 volley from different barrels at 1 time
-- burst
I cannot have all of my barrels firing simultaneously, instead they have at the very least a brief delay.
since we can no longer rely on emit sfx, can we have burstrate/salvo=0?

What's your objection to one-weapon-per-barrel?

because I want the ability to have as many twin linked shotguns as possible?
I was able to easily have this before emitsfx was broken.
why NOT?

that is WORSE than emit sfx in this case.

I still don't fully understand the objection to 1 weapon per barrel - is it that you can't be 100% sure they will fire simultaneously?

They will never fire simultaneously. It isn't that I am unsure.. it is that it CANNOT because of the burstrate thing.

I don't mean one weapon switching barrels.

one burst set vs emit, per barrel it still happens in sequence.
However, burstrate can only go so fast it has a minimum delay? I dunno why, I just know with emit sfx I had it working it was as close to instant as I could want.

woo site is back up. I mean honestly flozi, if you can give me a burst rate that can do all shots seemingly simultaniously like emitsfx can produce I could really use it.
from my weapondefs/energycannon.lua
Code: Select all
local tripplenergygun = EnergyCannonClass:New{
coreThickness = 0.5,
name = "3 test gun",
sprayAngle = 0,
reloadtime = 1.5,
burst = 3,
burstrate = 0.000001,
--projectiles = 2,
weaponVelocity = 300,
customparams = {
effect1 = "smallgreymuzzle",
linked = true,
},
}
honestly there is no difference between 0.001 and what I have here but I was trying to be ridiculous.
In my svn the unit badgermk3_test has this weapon and the pieces aligned horizontally...
is what the shot will will look like.

I'm having a bad day so possibly just not getting what you are saying.
/give cl_adder_prime in MCL, attack ground, profit.
